The sweet Spring is coming,with fragrance around her And music is heard on the wings of the wind; The fetters are broken which yesterday bound her, And all her young glories in joy unconfined; The wild birds are 'aging, The sweet flowers are springing, 0 any can you hear the far waterfall humming, As it comes on the south wind,so mellow and sweet? And say can you sec the fair wild pigeon coining, So swift from the warm clime with light wing and Beet? . Each living thing's dancing-- The glad waters glancing, Their beauty enhancing as they dash into foam; Each bud's gemmed with dew-drops, the sight • how entrancing, On floweret and tree, now, around my dear home. Up caps then,for thcc,Spring! a kind welcome to thee; And the last of the trio, ah, what shall we say! Thou art coruing—aye,smiling as when we first knew THERE is a vast amount 'of suffering in the world that escapes general observation. In the lanes and alleys of our populous cit ies, in the garrets and cellars of dilapidated buildings, there are frequent cases of nose ry, degradation, and crime, of which those who live in comfortable houses, and pursue the ordinary duties of life, have neither knowledge nor conception. By mere chance, occasionally, a solitary instance of deprnvi 7 ty and awful death is exposed, but the start. hog details which are placed before the community, are regarded as gross exaggera 7 . tions. It is difficult for those who are un. acquainted with human nature in its darkest aspects, to conceive the immeasurable depth to which crime may sink a human being— and the task of attempting to delir.eate a faithful picture ofsuch depravity, though it might interest the philosopher, would be re ...dm% I.IJ ah.. c0...AM1 at however, cases of folly and error, which should be promulgated as warnings, and the incidents of the annexed sketch are of this character. Mysterious are the ways of Providence in punishing the transgressions of men—and indisputable is the truth, that Dcath is the wages of Sin. TWENTY years ago, no family in the fashionable circles of Philadelphia was more distinguished than that of Mr. 1, - ******: no, lady was more admired and esteemed thnn his lovely and accomplished They had married in early life, with the sanction of relations and friends, and under a conviction that each was obtaining a trea sure above all price. They loved devotedly and with enthusiasm, and their bridal day was a day of pure and untidulterated happi ness to themselves, and of pleaspre to those who were present to offer their:congratula tions on the joyous event. The happy pair were the delight of a large circle of acquain lances. In her own parlor, or in the draw- ng-rooms of her friends, the lady was ever ER & OIL. the admiration of those who crowded around her, to listen to the rich melody of her voice, or to enjoy the flashes of wit and intelligence which characterized her conversation.

Without the egotism and vanity which sometimes distinguish those to whom socie ty pays adulation, and too prudent and care. tul in her conduct to excite any feelings of jealousy in the breast of her confiding hus band,. Mrs. I,—'s deportment was in all respects becoming a woman of mind, taste, and polished education. Her chosen com panion noticed her career with no feelings of distrust, but with pride and satisfaction. He was happy in the enjoyment of her un divided love and affection, and happy in wit nessing the evidences of esteem which her worth and accomplishments elicited. Peace and prosperity smiled on his domestic cir cle, and his offspring grew up in loveliness, to add new pleasures to his career. The youngest of his children was dilaugh tor, named Letitia, after her mother, whom, in many respects, she promised to resemble. She had the same laughing blue eyes, the .ame innocent and pure expression of coun tenance, and the same general outline of feature. At an early age her sprightliness, acute observation, and aptitude in acquir ing information f furnished sure evidences of intelligence, and extraordinary pains were taken to rear her in such a manner as to 2d quality develope; advantageously, her natural pow ers. The care of her education devolved principally upon her mother, and the task was assumed with a full consciousness of its responsibility. • With the virtuous mother, whose mind is unshackled by the Absurdities of extreme fashionable life,there,are no duties so weigh ty, and at, the same time so pleasing, as those connected with the education of an only daughter. The weight of responsibili ty involves not only the formation of en a miable disposition and correct principles, hut in a great measure, the degree of hap. pines which the child way subsequently 4 ' I WISH NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER EM EN OF Mr LIVING ACTIONS, TO HF.EP NINE HONOR FROM C0RR0PT10N.".....-SHANS.

Errors of education are the fruit ful source of misery; and to guard against these is a task which requires judgment,and unremitting diligence. But for this labor, does not the mother receive a rich reward? Who may tell the gladness of her heart, when the infant cherub first articulates her name? _ Who can describe the delightful emotions elicited by the early developement of her genius,—the expansion of the intel lect when it first receives, and treasures with eagerness, the seeds of knowledge? These are joys known only to mothers, and they are joys which fill the soul w:th rapture. Letitia was eight years old, when a per son of genteel address and f•ishionable ap- pearance, named Duval, was introduced to her mother by her father, with whom he had been intimate when a youth,and between whom a strong friendship had existed from that period. Duval had recently returned from Europe, where he had resided a num ber of years. He was charmed with the farn:ly, and soon became a constant visitor: Having the entire confidence of his old friend and companion, all formality in refer ence to intercourse was hid aside, and he was heartily welcomed at all hours, and un der all circumstances. He formed one in all parties of pleasure, and in the absence of his friend, accompanied his lady on her visits ofamusement and pleasure,—a privil ege which he sedulously improved whenev er opportunity offered. Duval, notwithstanding his personal at tractions and high character as a '•gentle r man," belonged to a class of men which has existed more or less in all ages, to disgrace humanity. He professed to be a philoso pher, but was in reality a libertine. He lived for his own gratification. It monopo lized all his thoughts, and directed all his actions. He belonged to the school of Vol taire, and recognized no feelings of the heart as pure, no tie of duty or affection as sacred. No considerations of suffering, of heart-rending grief, on the part of his vic tim, were sufficient to intimidate his pur pose, or' check his career of infamy.— Schooled in hypocrisy, dissimulation was his business: and he regarded the whole world as the sphere of his operations,—the whole human family as legitiniate subjects for his villainous depravity. That such characters,—so base, so de spicable, so lost to all feelings of true honor, —can force their way into respectable so ciety, and poison the minds of the unsullied and virtuous, may well be a matter of as tonishment to those unacquainted With the desperate artfulness of human hearts.
