He was a self taught roan, deeply MEP, ed in the mysteries of science, and as he could tell the name of every flower that blossomed in the wood or grew in the gar den, and used to set up late at nights at his books or reading the mystic story of the starry heavens, mon thought he was crazed or bewitched and avoided him as the igno. rant ever shun the gifted and enlightened. A few there were and among others, the minister, and lawyer, and physician of the place, who showed some willingness to affr ord him countenance but they soon dropped his aqquaintance, for they found the old man somewhat reserved and morose, and moreever their vanity was wounded by dis covering the extent of his knowledge. To the minister he would quote the Fa. there and the Scriptures, in the original togue, and showed himself well armed with the weapons of polemic controversy. He astonished the lawyer with his profound ancquaintance with jurisprudence; and the . physician was surprised at the extent of hit! =dicel knowledge.—So they all deserted him, and the minister, from whom he dif fered in some trifling point of doctrine, spoke very slightly of him; and by and by looked on the self educated farmer with eyes of a version. But tie little cared for that, for he derived his consolation from loftier resour ces, and in the untreated paths of science found a pleasnre as in the pathless woods! He instructed his son in all this lore—the languages, literature, history, philosophy. science, were unfolded one by one to the enthusiastic son of the solitary. Years rol• led away and the old man died. He died when a storm convulsed the face of nature when the wind howled around his shattered dwelling, and the lightning played -shove 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 the grief of the son at his bereavement I He was for a time as one distracted. The minister cam and muttered a few cold and hollow phrases in his oar, and afew neigh bors, impelled by curiosity, to see the inn,. rior of the old man's dwelling, came to the : funeral. With a proud and lofty look the son stood above the dust and the dead in the midst of the band of hypocritical mour ners. with a pang at his heart, but serenity on his brow. Ho thanked his friends for their kindness, acknowledged their courts. sy, and then strode away from the grave to bury his grief in the privacy of his deserted dwelling. • He found, at last, the solitude of the maw,— .1.nr....t llrsourre•fiellwle, _aril he 1 ,4:4, • ed the echoing floors tress morning till night in all the agony ewe and desolation, vainly importuning heaven for relief. It came to him first in the guise of poetic in spiration. He wrote with wonderful ease and power. Page after page came from his prolific per., almost without an effort; and there was a time when he dreamed (vain fool) of immortality. Some of his productions came before the world. They were praised and circulated, and enquiries set on foot in the hope of discovering the author. He, wrapped in the veil ofimpene enable obscurity, listened to the voice of ap plause, more delicious becauee s it was obta- 1 ined by stealth. From the obscurity of yonder lone mansion, and from this region, to send forth lays which astonished the 1 world, was indeed a triumph to the visions. ry bard. His thirst for fame was gratified, and he now began toyeern for the companionship of some sweet being of the other sex, to share the laurels he had won, and to whis per consolation in his ear in moments of despondency, and to supply the void which the death of his old father had occasioned. He would picture to himself the felicity of a refined intercourse with a highly intellec tual and beautiful woman; and as he had chosen for his motto 'whatever hes been done may still be done,' he did not despair of success. In this village lived three sis ters, all beautiful and accomplished. Their names were Mary, Adelaide and Madeline. i am far enough past the age of enthasiaem, but never can I forget the beauty of those young girls. Mary was the youngest, and a fairer haired, more laughing damsel nev er danced upon the green. 'Adelaide, w.'io was a few years older, was dark haired and pensive; but of the three, Madeline, the el dest, posessed the most fire, _spirit, cultiva , lion and intellectuality. Their father, ' a man of taste and educatian, and being some what above vulgar prejudices, permitted the visits of the hero of my story. Still he'id not altogether encourage the affec tion which he found springing up between Mary and the poet.—When, however, he found that her affections were engaged, he did not withhold his consent from their mar. riage, and the recluse bore to his solitary mansion the young bride of his affections.— Oh, sir, the house,assumed a new appear ance within and without.

To Adelaide, at length, he offered his widowed heart. She came to his lone house like a dove, bearing the olive branch of peace and consolation. The bridal was not one of revelry and mirth, for a sad re collection brooded over the hour. Yet they lived happily; the husband again smil ed, and with .a new spring the roses again blossomed in their garden. But it seemed as if a fatality pursued this singular man. !When the rose withered, and the leaf tell, in the mellow autumn of the year, Adelaide too, sickened and died, like her youngest sister, in the arms of her huehend and of Madeline. Perhaps you will think it strange, young men, that after all, the wretched survivor stood again at the altar. But he was a mys terious being, whose ways were inscrutable, whose thirsting for domestic bliss was doom ed over to seek and never to find it. His third bride was Madeline. I well remem ber her. She was a beauty in the true sense of the word. It may seem strange to you to hear the praise of beauty from ouch lips as mine; but I cannot avoid expatiating upon hers. She might have sat upon a throne, and the most loyal subject, the prou• dest peer, would have sworn the blood in her veins had descended from a hundred kings. She was a proud creature, with a tall, commanding form, and raven tresses, that floated, dark and cloudlike over her shoulders. She was a singularly gifted wo man, and possessed of rare inspirations.— She loved the widower for his power and his fame, and'she wedded him. They were married in that church. It was on a sum mer afternoon—l recollect it well. Dur ing the ceremony the blackest cloud I ever saw overspread the heavens like a pall, and at the moment when the third bride pro nounced her vow, a clap of thunder shook the building to its centre. All the females shrieked, but the bride herself made the re sponse with a steady voice, and her eye glittered with wild fire as she gazed upon her bridegroom. He remarked a kind of incoherence ab they rode homeward, which surprised him at the time. Arrived at his house she sunk upon the'threshold; but this was the timidity of a maiden. When they were alone he elapsed her hand—it was oold as ice ! He looked into her face— • ' • "Madeline," said he, "what means this! your cheek is as pale asyour wedding gown!" The bride uttered a frantic shriek. rMy wedding gown!" exclaimed she, "no, no,—this is my sister's shroud! The . h.ur ot . .onfession has arrived. It is God' that impels me to spenx. To win you I lost my soul! Yes; yes—l em a murdoressl— She smiled upon me in the joyous affection of her young heart,—but I gave her the fatal drug! Adelaide twined her white arms about my neck, but I administered the poison l Take me to your arms; I have lost my soul for you, and mine you must het" She spread her long white arms and stood like a maniac before him, said the sexton, rising in the excitement of the moment, and assuming the attitude he described, "and then," continued he, in a hollow voice, "at that moment came,the thunder and the flash, and the guilty • woman fell dead on the floor!" The countenance of the narrator expressed all the horror he felt "And the bridegroom!" asked I "the husband of the destroyer and the victims— what became of him?" !He stands before you!" was the thrill ing, answer. We must be allowed to usurp or aid the officeeef the Christian Pulpit a little in such a time as this. In the midst of the deep and general grief that surrounds us, we know it will not be ungrateful. We have bean forcibly struck with the resemblance between Moses, as the Cap tain of Israel, and our lamented Harrison, as the deliverer of the American people, more especially in the correspondencies of the two great facts, that as Moses was only necessary to conduct the hosts of Israel throligh the wilderness, to the borders of Canaan, was permitted only to see the pro mised land and then taken from earth to heaven, so has it been with our Captain. "And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains.of Moab thirty days." The people of this country have decreed mour ning for' General Harrison, some thirty, some sixty, and some ninety days. In the reflections of every religious man the resemblances in the history of Moses to that of General Harrison, will be found impressively remarkable from beginning to end, and scarcely less so the history of one people as compared with that of another. It is unnecessary to particularize them, as they are.open to the thoughts of all. Be. ,bold the scene, and admire the ways of that Providence xhich rules over the nations of the earth! Till now, we bad thought Gen. eral Harrison necessary for the future. So might it have been supposed that Moses was, when the .people arrived at the bor. ders of Canaan.

ANECDOTE or WIMSTZR.—The talent of the Now Englanders in bargain-making, is proverbial in America, and the inhabitants of the little barren island of 'Nantucket, if we were to judge from the following anec dote, would seem to carry offthe palrn from all others in this accomplishmeut. One of the party at table, alluding to an illustra tion of this characteristic of the Nantucket population, which according to Sam Slick had occurred in the professional practice of Mr. Webster, asked him whether it was true. He said it was essentially correct, and proceeded to state tho real incidents as follows. A Nantucket client had asked him to go to that -island to plead a cause for him. Mr. Webster, after mentioning the distance, the loss of time, and the interrup tion to his other practice, said that he could notgo unless he received a fee of a thousand dollars. The client objected to paying so large a sum for pleading-one cause. Mr. -Webster replied, that the fatigue and loss eltitrittin travelling to Nantucket, and re /rainier there probably during the whole circuit, amounted to 'as great • sacrifice on his part, as if he pleaded in every cause on the roll: 'Well, then,' said his client, ' 'come, and I will pay you the thousand dollars, but you shall be at my disposal for the whole sittings, and I shall let you out, if I can.' Mr. Webster went, and was sub let by his client, who drew the fees to relieve his own loss. Judge Story, who was present, remarked, that he had often beard the an ecdote mentioned, but never before heard it authenticated. He added, 'the current edition proceeds to tell that your client let you out for eleven hundred dollars, saved his own pocket entirely, and gained ten per cent. on his speculation. Mr. Webster stated with great good humor, that, as his client had not reported the amount of the aub•teea which he drew, he coald not tell whether this addition was correct or not. Sam Slick's report of this occurrence is not entirely accurate.—George Comb's Notes. ELOPEMENT AND STEALING..-4 man named Theodore Allen, arrived at Balti more on Wednesday week laetaccompanied by a woman whom he represented as his wife. They remained at one of the hotels until. Friday, when another person, named Abraham Bitzanbergor. a tavernkeeper near Frederick, made his appearance in search of a missing wife and 6500 in cash. Ho soon discovered the whereabouts of hie wife. and also her gallant, Theodore Allen, who, while a lounger about his house for some weeks past, went by the name of G. E. Wanbaun. A warrant was procured for the arrest of Allen, and $65 in gold and silver, some of which was indentified by the owner, were found upon his person. It was clearly ascertained, that the real name of the accused was Grason, a man well known in the State prison, having been re leased from the penitentiary a short time since. Upon these evidences of guilt, the accused was fully committed. The hus band seemed very desirous that his wife should return home—even begged the vil. lean who decoyed her away, to use his in fluence to this effect, and finally, through the persuasion of some friends who accom panied him in the search, she was prevailed upon to return.

A VOYAGE ON A FLAT BOAT.-A series of adventures of a men by tho name of Jas. Clark came to our knowledge the other du!, which for the marvellous, would not com• pare ill with the wanderings of Sinbad the Sailor. About four years ago Clark star ted on a flat boat with his wife and four children from the town of Erie, Pa., situa• ted on the lake of that name,' and by the route of the Ohio and Erie Canal, reached the Ohio river. Descending the Ohio end Mississippi, making a brief stay at our lan ding on his way, he reached Bayou Lai• ouche in Louisiana. Leaving the Boyou by the south.west pass he progressed on his voyage, until he was blown off, about twelve miles into the Gulf. A change of wind and a high tide drove his flat boat back again and stranded her on a sand bar near Shan atique. Here he was detained three months four or five hundred yards from the water, during which period ho killed a large num ber of wild bogs, and salted pork enough to supply his family for 2 years afterwards. He also erected for his own accommodation and that of travelers, quite a respectable dwelling from the drift wreck. wood, thrown by the waves upon the sliore.—A high tide at length ensued and the flat boat was once more upon the waters. Hoisting his sail he launched forth and reached without ad venture, the Sabine pass. Crossing Sabine Bay, (about thirty miles in width) he en tered the mouth of the Rionatehee, and thence ascended to the town of Beaumont in Texas. Here he erected a house fin a tavern, making use of his flat boat for ma terial, as far as it would go, in finishing his edifice. We aro: informed that Mr. Clark is now flourishing in Texas 'like a green bay tree,' and appears to be 'spreading his branches' in the most approved manner, having been blessed with a couple of ba• hies and a very promising flock of young pigs, during his short sojoarn in the land of refuge and of promise.— Vicksburg Whig. A young lady in New York, having been slighted by her swain, determined to end her miseries and her life together, by drowning herself: Full of this direful in• tent, she went to the river side, and having screwed her courage to the sticking point, jumped in.

MIN ET'S LAST NI OMEN TB. —One day, previous to the trial, as the Governor was going his rounds, he entered Emmet's room rather abruptly; and observing a re markable expression in his countenanee he apologized for the interruption. He had a fork affixed to his little deal table, and ap pended to it there was a tress of hair. "You see," said he to the keeper, "how innocent ly I am employed. This little tress has long been dear to me, and 1 am plaiting it to wear on the day of my execution." On the day of that fatal event, there was found sketched by hie own hand with a pen and ink, upon that very table an admirable like ness of himself, the head severed from the body which lay near it, surrounded by the scaffold, the axe, and all the frightful par• apherna i lm of a high treason execution. What &strange union of tenderness, erthu• siasm and fortitude did not the above traits exhibit. His fortitude, indeed, never for sook him. On the night previous to his death, ho slept soundly as ever; and when the fatal morning dawned, he arose, knelt down and prayed, ordered some milk which he drank, wrote two letters—one to his brother in .. mance, and the other to the Secretary of State enclosing it; and then desired the sheriffto be informed that he was ready. When they came into his room he said that he had two requests to make; one that his arms might be left as loosely as possible, which was humanely acceded to. "I make the other," said he, "not under any idea that it can be granted, but that it may be held in remembrance that 1 have made it; it is that may be permitted to die in my uniform." This of course could not be granted; and the request seemed to have no other object than to show that be glorified in the cause in which he was to suffer. A remarkable example of his power over him. self and others occurred at this melancholy moment. He was passing out, attended by the sheriff, and preceded by the execu tioner—in one of the passages stood the turnkey, who was personally assigned to him during his confinement; this poor fellow lov ed him in his heart, and the tears were streaming from his eyes in torrent e. Em met paused for a moment; his hands were not at liberty—he kissed his cheek—and the man who had been an inmate of a dun gene, habituated to the scenes of horror,and hardened against their operation, fell sense• less at his feet. Before his eyes had open. ed again upon the •vorld, those of his youth ful sufferer had closed forever. •The color of the rebel uniform was green.

This extraordinary edifice was fifty-two feet in letwth, sixteen in breadth, and twrnty feet high, and constructed of large pieces of ice cut in the manner of free-stone. The wells were three feet thick. The several apartments were fur nished with tables. chairs, beds, and all kinds of household furniture of ice.

The illumination in this palace at night was astonishingly grand. Advertising is like a traveling sign. No business man will hesitate topay twenty dollars fora elgn, where be • would never think or paying half the sum for advertising. The one is a sign only seen by those who pass the store and can see the goods that are for sale as well as the sign. The ad vertisement is a comprehensive sign that comes under the eye of hundreds who will never see the sign over the door: yet some soft heads pretend to argue that because some men have done a good business with out advertising. advertising is unnecessary. -They might as well argue that became some men have made money without indus try, industry is unnecessary.

With part of the proceeds of this unhallow ed traffic in the blood of his subjects, the Elector built near Hesse a magnificent chateau, which is called by the people in the vicinity 'the Castle of: Blood.'
