In the nine teenth year of his age,te formed on attachment for Miss Mary Lansing, a lady of some accomplish manta and personal beauty—but her patrimony was small. Mr. Lossley and Miss Lansing were frequently in each other's company, and every time eiey met their mutual attachment increased. They often spoke of their affection for each other, and lamented that their prospects wore not such as to justify their connection for life. Thus mat ters went on with them for several years, till, at length, finding it impossible to be happy unless in each ether's society. they determined to cast their lois together and if they should not be able to move through the world in the style they could wish, at all events, they could support themselves decently; so they were united by that tie which is the meat sacred and endearing that can be formed in this life. For some months after their union they did not seem sensible of their want of pecuniary means; but it soon became evident that they would have to gain support by their actual labor, and it was also certain that in Georgia they could not do more than obtain a mere subsistence, and at last in old age, be without any settled home to which they did not seem willing to submit.' It was thought best that Mr. Lossley should travel into some new country, get a piece of land, and make some little improvement on it, and then return to carry on his companion. Many . were the anxious thoughts that filled their bosoms—the husband had his fears lest ho should fail in obtaining a pleasant home for his beloved one,. whom he was about to leave ta;hind; and the wife already began to count the weeks, and oven the days, she should be left as it.:stere, alone in the world—while, on the other hand, they both looked forward with pleasure on the time, when, in a new country, growing with its growth and' strengthening with its,sttetigth t they should rise to a state of importance in the world. The time of separation at last arrived; and Mr, Lossley, after embracing the best of all earthly friends gave the parting hand,took his journey not knowing certainly whither ho was going, Ho gravelled to the state of Kentuelty, and was about go contract fora piece of land in the neighborhood of where the town of H is now built, He R arefied himself of the first opportunity of writing a few lines to his• beloved one, in order ti. let her know where he was and Avhat he was doing. This letter never reached the beloved object for Whom it was intended, hut fell into the hands of one, whose name shall be "revealed on Mat day." Suffice it to say, that there was one with whom .Mr. Lossley hkd been a competitor. An answer eatue-.but not from Mrs. Lossley, but apparently from her fatlter, with whom he had left her during 'bis absence. Of horrid krter, never shall I forget its language: • - '• i;Daaa SON—Your wife took sick about a week alter year departdre. At first we did not entertain anY fear, concerning her. After some days her %tin became idfiocted, and she lost her reason, and while in this ditnistion she called every person who was to attendance open her and came to see her, stlitnry.M7 'Ai - dint time before ber death she eons in Israeli, and seemed to have but one de-1 sire to live, which was to see you! and her last sent lice was, "Oh, nay dear Ilenry! and shall I never see him more in this !fr.!" and breathed' her last." • On the reception of thiS hater, Mr. Lossley be came almost desperate. His whole amount of earthly good seemed to be cut air at one.stroke.— He made several attempts to answer the letter, but found it impossible to write On such a painful sub ject. He became a solitary man—being in a land strangers—he had no person to whom , lie could unbosom himself; arid though grief is fond of corn pacy, yet he had to share his alone. The thought of returning to the place where he had so often beheld the face and lovely form of his now lost Mary, without being able to see her, he could not bear; and having left but little behind, save his companion, that was of any consequence to him, lie gave up the idea of returning. Neither had he any disposition to settle himself, and finding that he could sustain his grief better, when travel ling, than in any other way, he wandered oil with out any settled point of destination. At length ho found himself at the lead mines in Missouri. But he et beheld objects that reminded him of his loss, which iaduced him to sink,still deeper into the bosom of the - great forest; so he joined himself to a' company of fur traders, and shaped his course to the Rocky Mountains. It was the engem of the company to post a watch at night, which was agreed to be taken by turns—yet, for some time, Lossley volunteered his services every night, so that when his compan ions were asleep, he would look upon the moon and stars, which once shown on him, when he, with his fair one hanging on his arm, used to take their little evening excursions. The scream of panthers did not interrupt him, while for the la mentations of the owl, he had ii particular fond ness, and rarely for months, did he take his depar ture from a camping place, without leaving the letters, "M. L." on some of the hitherto undistur bed trees of the forest. He passed nearly two years among the North Western Indians. The hardship he endured—the dangers through which he passed—all had a ten dency to call off his mind fiom former sorrows, and the females which he sometimes looked upon, were so unlike his'Mary, that by the time he had returned to Missouri he had in some degree, ob tained his former cheerfulness. But no sooner did he enter the former settlements where he again beheld the fair faces and graceful forms, than a recollection of his departed Mary returned. But the roll of years at length wore away his grief, and finding at last an object of which lie could place his affections, he again entered into a married con nection: From the time that he left his compan ion in Georgia, till he married his second wife, it was about five years! But what shall we say a bout Mrs. Lossley—for strange to tell, she yet lived! Weeks, months, and years passed by, but had brought her no ticiinw..; of her absent husband. Post offices were examined—but no letter came. His name was looked for in the public prints—but could not be found., Travellers were inquired of —but of no avail! not a word 'could she hear of 41.ica: A.* .11enstis also.auve, bras-up. - as dead, and conceived of his death in many ways; at one time ' she would fancy she could see his bones at the bottom of some stream., in which lie had been drowned, by attempting to cross; uguin she would see him in some lonely spot—mnrdered by rob bera, or destroyed by Indian violence; and at other times, she would fancy she saw him languish on some foreign bed, and after a long and linger ing illness, fall into the grave among strangers!— A thousand times she looked out the way she saw him depart, and mourned him fiend till time dried up her tears. After a lapse of seven long years and more since the departure of Mr. Lossley, Mr. Starks . offered his hand in marriage . to Mrs. Leaky; and—as it was firmly believed by herself and friends that he was dead—Mr. Starks being a gentleman wor thy of her, she accepted the offer, and they were married. At this time Mr. Lossley was living with his second wife, in the State of Missouri, where he continued to live for something like. ighteen years. About fourteen years after his marriage, his second wife died—and ho was left with two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter was the eldest and took charge of her father's house—but little more,than three years, after the death of her moth- or she married and moved to North Alabama. and her father and brother went with her. In the mean timo Mrs, Starks had lost her hus band and father, and, having but one child, and that a little daughter, she removed to North Ala _ham° also, to live with an aged uncle, who was living in that part of the country—so that Mr. Lossloy became neighbors—and they became ac.. quainted with each other as Cdl. Lossley (this title he had obtained when among the fuilraders) and Mrs. Starks. They formed an attachment for each other, and Mr,Lossloy enventually offer ed his hknd in marriage which she accepted. It is to be observed that during the whole of their in- ercourse they took great care never to mention any circumstance connecting itself with their firs marriage, and both passed as having been married hut once—they had both been so very cautious on this subject that tho slightest trace of their fornn;r acquaintance was not discovered until the night before the marriage was to have been solemnized. Perhaps the sacred fount of their former sorrows was sealed too deep to be readily broken up again by either orthem. The night before marnage, as they were con versing alone, the Colonel remakcd that he expec ted to be a little agitated the next evening while attending the ceremonies of the wedding—"for," said he, "when I married the first time I was not so much embarrassed as when I married the Testi"— to which Mrs. Starks oYou have been married twice, then, it seems!" The Colonel at first, tried to change the subje'ct of the converse- Lion, hut soon found that would not do—and know ing it would have to come out sooner or later, ho went into a detail of all the circumstances connec- ted with his Bret marriage, giving names and dates. This was a subject on which the Ca!fleet was elo- quent. He remarked that his long log Mary was nover out of his mind for one hour at a time; owing to that fact, ho had often spoke of her to those who had never heard of her, and could not enter into the conversation with him. He went on to state thin she was - his Rachel—his first choico—tho companion of his youth; having taken hold of his feelings at such an early age, the impression was indeliahli, a retvllection of her name could never "I WISH NO OTHER HERALD, HO OTHER 43PEAHER.

Here the mists began to gather in the eyes of the Colonel, and for a few moments a death. like silence prevailed. At length looking upon his in tended bride, he saw that she had taken more than usual interest to the relation ho had been making. Ho then broke the silence by saving, .-you must forgive me fur the kind rememberence I bear for the beloved companion of my youth." While he was uttering this sentence Mr. Starks swooned 1 away, and would have Men from her seat, had not the Colonel supported her. While she lny'in this death-like state,Many wore the reflections which passed through the mind of Col. Lossley. First, supposing as he had for a time kept this secret from her, and of last divulged it without intending to do so, it might have a tendency to destroy her confidence in him, or cause her to fear that his af fections were so tench- phi - Ceti an the memory of ?di;" first wife that it would be impossible for him to love her as ho ought; these and many other thoughts of a like kind rushed through his mind, and he hut awaited the p aver of utterance on the part of Mrs. Starks to hear her renounce him fur ever. But, oh! how mistaken were his fears! No sootier was she roused from her swoon than. she threw her arms around his neck, and resting her head upon his bosom, sobbed like' a child crying out. "Oh, my huaband! my husband.'" The Colonel being much astonished, inquired rather hastily what she meant! With her hands still resting on his shoulders, with a countenance beiim ing with joy and suffused with tears—she exclaim. ed with a half choked utterance, "I am your Mary! your long lost Mary, and you are my Henry,whom I mourned as dead for these twenty years." The joy then became mutual. That night and the next day was spent in relating circumstances which had transpired with them during their sepa ration, and admiring the providence that brought them together. On the next evening those bidden to the marriage,attended. The Parson came—but there was no service for him to render. The transported couple informed the assembly that they had been married upwards of twenty years before, and gave a brief outline of their history, and entered into the hilarity of the evening with a de gree of cheerfulness unusual to them both. MOM THE Yomm GAZETTE. LIFE. Yon slumbering babe! In the still beauty of its rest it lies, No cloud of sadness dims its gentle brow, But softly sleep rests on Its shadow'd eyes, Fair child! thou knorvest naught of sorrow now. Yet look again; It smiles, as when the sun's last gentle beams . Pass o'er still waters, beings perchance are near ' Unseen by mortal eye, and in the land of dreams Sweet harmonies may glad the cherub's ear. . And vet once more: The smile has fled, and the low fitful sigh, Tells that sonic phantom form has broke its rest; Wake, gentle trembler, 'tie affection's eye That beams open thee: wake thee, and be - hicstr: And such is life, A dream. whose golden hues,!whose glorious beams Whose wildering harmonies, Whose forms of love, Are but the few and faintly- shining gleams From that far distant, better land above. 'Tie all a dream, Where, to the weary wanderer of the wild, Delusive fancy paints the 'light of streams,' Welling in some far'distant desert- isle, Mocking his pain with hope's deceitful beams. E'ven youth's fair morn Is but a winged dream, affection's bonds, Youth 's dreams of love. the glory of the bravo, All, all are written ou the ocean-sands, To be effaced by dark oblivion's wave. And when youth's rosy light Shall change to manhood's steadier, brighter ray, E'en then, fame, learning's cats, and worldly gain Are but bright bubbles that roust pass away Without a trace; how empty, and how vain! 0! then at that hour When death shall break this feverish dream of life f‘lay the freed soul awake in the abode Of its eternal Parent, where no grief Nor care can enter, in the bosom of its God!

A little girl her trinkets found, And china, dolls, and books lay round Upon the nursey floor; Her m ther kindly furnished all, Yet every now and then she'd call— want, Ma, something mere," She plays with each awhile by turns; A new one takes—an old one spurns; But soon half sad, half vexed, She threw her playthings all aside, And with imploring look she cried— " What do I want, Ma, next?" ArAl thus it is with nearly all Whom children we no longer call, And thus with some grown gray; In more imposing sports they dip, From one thing to another ship In bustling, serious play. Though untold favours may abound, Their lives with goodness still be crowned With plenty e'en perplexes!; • They never know when they are blessed, But each one feels within his brest— •What do I want, pray. next?" lIOPE. Illusive Hope, no more deceive, Unless your spell is stronger! If you can force me to believe, In pity cheat me longer. The fraud is sweet; but bitter pain And keen despair confounds us, To wake and find thy broken chain, In glittering fragments round us. The heart that trusts thy syren smile. Drinks copious draughts of pleasure; In dreams of innocence the while, It grasps Its soul-sought treasure: But let the mystic gleam depart, Which caused our dreamy blindness! Too coldly sinks tho breaking heart, Amidst the world's unkindness. venous CHURCH MA TTERS Prom the Philadelphia Inquirer. • Presbyterian General Assembly. PHILADELPHIA, May 29. The members assembled on Sattireay morning, at 9 o'clock,and after the - proceed ings had been opened with prayer, the Rev R. J. Breckenridge called up it resolution as notified by .him for introduction at the previous eveniaa's adjournment. After some little discussion, the resolution was amended and carried to the fidlowing effect:—"That a committee of ten—five from the majority and five from the minority of the vote passed on Friday evening, be appointed to devise some plan, if they can agree, for a volunta ry division of the Presbyterian Church." • Several bills, petitions, and memorials, in the hands of the committee of 131118 and Overtures, were committed to special corn• mittees• A passage in tbe.memorial under the head "Mhtlaid of Reform," was then brought forward;. and thereupon Dr; Cuyler offered several resolutions, which were tn• tended to carry out the following articles in the printed memorial. "3. We believe that every Church, Pres bvterv, or Synod now in nominal connection with this Assemhly,but which is not organi• zed on Presbyterian principles, should be imMedintely brought into order, -dissolved, or disconnected from the Presbyterian Church. "4. We believe that it is hiahly impor tant, that, at the present time, Presbyteries :+hould be directed to examine hencefgrward all licentiates and ministers applying for admission from other denominations on the subjects of theology and church government, as well as personal piety- and ministerial qualitientions, and to require of them an ex- plicit adoption of the Confession of Faith, and Form of Government." After a few rernai•ks from different ind viduals,,Oe meeting was adjourned. The Assembly met yesteiday morning, at nine o'clock, and opened the proceedings with, ti,prayer. The minutes of Saturday were read, cor rected and accepted. On motion of Dr. Cuyler, the fu ther con sideration of the memorial was postponed for the present, to give the committee often 'on - the State of the Church (who are devil§ log a plan of division) leave to sit during the session of the Assembly—in order that they may, as speedi l y as pilsible; prepare and .report a plan to the ,Assembly. The com mittee accordingly retired; alter which, for the remainder of the day, various bills, peti tions, compla i nts, Su., were reported, and either entered on the docket, or referred to eomsnittees. - Among other business brought before the . Assembly,was an appeal case ofa 31r. Smith, from.ihe Synod of Cineirmati,i he particulars of which we shall probably be enabled to give in a future number. MAY 31. The Assembly met yesterday morning at the usual• hour, and prayers having been offered up, the "Committee of ten on the State of the Church," reported .their pro ceedings. • In this report, the portion of the Commit tee (fire) from the majority, and the five of the majority, read attentively, (through the Rev. Mr. Breckenbridge representing the former, and Mr. Jessup the latter) the RM.. ral - papers that were interchanged between the two portions of the committee; ate; which a motion to discharge the committee was passed., ,Another motion was made to have the Report entered upon the minutes and printial,bot being objected to, the indefi nite postponement of this motion was Moved, put, and lost. Therfiupon Mr. Jessup spoke to a con. siderablelength in opposition to the indefinite postponement, going somewhat into the me• rits of the whole subject.. He was replied to by the . .Rev. Mr. Breckenridge, who, in closinhis speech, moved that the whole sub ject be laid on the table, for the purpose of introdUcing 'another 'resolution. As this motion excluded all further delatlN though much desired, the motion "to lay on the ta ble," ,Was immediately put and carried. Yeas, 130 • Nays, 107 I Immediately the Rev, Mr. Pulminer then .moved a resolution to the following effect: That in pursuance of the act of abrogation, of the plan of union between the Presbyter. inns end Congregationlists, already passed by the Assembly, the Synod of the Western Reserve is, and is hereby declared to be no longer a part of the Presbyterian Church. This motion was sustained by Dr. Bakter, the Rev. Mr. Plummer, and opposed by Mr. Jmtip, Dr. Mecauley, and the Rev. Mr. C ‘ leavelanil. The speeches were animated, and listened to with attention by a numerous audience. The Assembly met yesterday morning at nine o'clock, and after prayers had been of fered up, the discussion was resumed on the question (lithe previous day's adjuurnment, as reported in our paper of yesterday The Rev: Mr. Cleaveland, of Detrint,was Ole first speaker. He advocated the views ofthe now achoOl, with great ability,and was followed by Dr. Junkie, on the other side. Dr. Peters then supported the Rev- Mr. Cloaveland's arguments, and was opposed by Dr. Witherspoon. At the time of adjournment, Mr. Jessup was in possession of the floor, and that gen- tleman will resume the debate this morning. During the proceedings of the day, the Rev. Mr. Crane attempted to get rid of the mo tion, by moving the previous question, but he did not succeed.

The attention of the country ought, at a crisis like the present,to be called to the fact, that niftiest, ir not quite, all of our importa tions of tea and other articles from China, aro paid fir in the precious metals,and that, in our commercial intercourse with the "celestial empire," some system of financial policy should be adopted to prevent in futtire such a constant drain of silver and gold to that quarter.—lbid. In the midst o" the distress which per vades the country throughout all its borders, it is gratifying to witness the good order and respect for the law, every where main•. tabled. This speaks volumes for the effici ency of our institutions, and the political virtue of the American community. No where has discontent broken out in violence, in no pince,have disappointment and despair vented themselves in disorder and anarchy. We venture to say that there is ho other country in the world, where people could bear so great a burden of calamity with equal ' patience and submission to inevitable neces sity. It is the triumph of common sense over passion, of patriotism over discontent; the former teaching that violence and out rage would but aggravate the evil,while the latter suggests,that, though- misfortune may assail. and misgovernment prordrate, the country, all is not lost while liberty and character are preserved,to lead to a brighter moment and a happier destiny.—lbid. .

Whatever may be the CaUSRS or the combination of causes, which has produced the present pressure, there is no doubt that i► will require the action of coogrbss and the executive, before permanent relief can be ohtatned.

MeSsen• ger of the 18th inst. informs us that abOut ten days ago, some desperate velain made attempt on the life of Samuel Nixon, one of the Associate Judges ofthe neighbouring county of Fayette. The Judge was sitting in his room, reading by candlelight, when 1 an unusual barking of his dog attracted his attention. He rose from his seat, and drew aside the window-blind, holding the ctu3dle in his hand, for the purpose of looking out and seeing what excited the, dog. itrtme-' diately upon his drawing aside the blind, he_ heard a gun or pistol discharged, the-flash' of which ho saw, bUt a few yards from him- He hastened to the door, when be saw a horseman,evidentlr muffled, moving rapid ly from he direction of the discharge.— From subsequent examinatioo, there was no doubt but the desperado bad been wait ing for some time for an opportunity-of ef fecting his diabolical purpose.
