The sptaker paused a moment, already

much affected. Resuming in a firmer voice,

he said.

"But something must be said of my own

limbs. The dense mass of people were hush

ed into ah oppressive stillness, that was bro

ken here and there by halt stilled sods. At this moment there was a movement in the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one appeared instinctively to give way was seen passing up the aisle. This was not observed by Delancy, until she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood. Then the movement caught his ear, and lifting his eyes, ihey instantly fell on Alice fof it was she that was pressing on-ward-r he bent forward towards her with sudden uplifted hands and eager eyes, and stood like a statute until she gained the stand and advanced quietly to bis side. . For a-moment the two stood thus, the whole audience thril

led with the scene, were upon their feet,

and bending forward. , Then Delancy opened his arms, and Alice threw herself upon

his bosom, with a quick wild gesture. Thus

for the space of a minute they stood every

one fully, by a singular intuition, understand

mr the scene. One of the ministers then

came forward and gently separated them

"No, no," said Delancy you musi not, you

cannot take her from me."

"Heaven forbid that I should do that,!" re

plied the minister. By your own confession

she is not your wife.1' ....... 1 T"a t

"JNo, she is not, returnea ueiancy, mournfully. . , . "

"But she is ready to renew her vows agaipV Alice said, smilling thro' her tears, thatf Ti

reigned ever her face. r ' Before that large assembly, all standing, and with few dry eyes, was said in a broken voice, the marriage ceremony that gave Delancy and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged man with thin white locks, finished the rite, he laid his hand upon the heads of the two he had joined in boly bonds and lifting his aged eyes, that streamed with tears of gladness, he said in a solemn voice: 'What God hath joined together, let not rum put asunder " "Amen 1" was cried by the whole assembly as with one voice.

"He is here'." she murmured. "Raise me,

mother, while I have time to speak to bira."

. Byron looked around tbe small chamber,

trying tn vain to break the spell ol awe wntcn the scene threw over him. An apparition

from another world could pot have checked more fearfully,' and completely the more

worldly and scornful under-current or his nature. He stood with his heart' beating almost audibly, bis knees trembling beneath

him, awaiting what he prophetically felt to be a warning from the very gate of heaven. .

Propped with pillows, and left by her attendants, the dying girl turned her head to

AN INCIDENT RELATED OF BYRON

N. P.' WILLIS. T. .

ti was getting towards midnight when a party of young noblemen came out from one

of the clubs of St. James street. Tbe ser

vant of each, as he stepped upon the pave

ment, threw up the wooden apron of the

cabriolet, and sprung to the head of the horse but as to the destination of the equipages for the evening, there seemed to be some di'ssention among the noble masters. Be

twixt the line of coroneted vehicles stood

hackney coach, and a person in an attitude of

eger expemanty prossetl asnaar tbe-cxinll-

arated group as he could do without exciting

immediate attention.

"Which way," said he whose vehicle was

nearest, standing with his foot on the step. "All together, of course," said another

"Let's make a night of it."

''Pardon me" said the deep and sweet voice of the last out'frorn the crowd; "I secede for one. Go thy ways, gentlemen'." Byron stood looking after them a moment, and raised his hat and pressed his hand hard on his forehead. The unknown person who had been lurking near, seemed to leave him for a moment to his thoughts, or was embar rassed at approaching a stranger. As Byron turned with his halting step, however, he came suddenly to his side.

"My lord!" he said, and was silent as if

waiting permission to go on. "Well," replied Byron turning to him with

ouMhe least surprise, and looking closely into

his face by the tight of the steet lamp. "I come to you with an errand which perhaps "

"A strange one, I am sure; but I am pre

pared for it I have been forwarned of it.

What do you require ot me? for I am ready."

" This is strange! ' exclaimed the man.

"Has another messenger, then "

"None except a spirit for my heart alone

told me I should be wanted at this hour.

Speak al once."

"My lord, a dying girl has sent for your' "Do I know her." "She has never seen you. Will you come

at once, and on the way I will explain to you what I can of this singular errand; though, indeed, when it is told you, you will know all

that I comperhend."

1 hey were at the door of the hackney-

coach, and Byron entered it without further

remark.

"Back again!" said the stranger, as the

coachman closed the door, "and drive tor dear

life, for we shall scarce be in time, I fear!"

The heavy tongue of St. Paul's struck

twelve, as the rolling vehicle hurried on thro'

the now lonely street, and though so far from the place whence they started, neither of the

two occupants had spoken. Byron sat with

folded arms and bare head in the corner ot

the coach; the stranger, with his hat crowd

ed over his eyes, seemed repressing some vt

olent emotion; and it wa3 only when they stopped before a low door in the street close

upon a river, that the letter found utterance.

"Is she alive?" he hurriedly aslCed ol a

woman who came out at the souud of the

carriage wheels.

"She was a moment since but be quick!" Byron followed quickly on the heels of his

companion, and passing throughly a dimly

lighted entry to the door ot the baclt room,

there they entered. A lamp shaded by

curtain of spotless purity threw a faint light

upon a bed upon which lay a girl, watched

by a physician and nurse, ihe physician

had iust removed a small mirror from her

lips, and holding it to the light, he whispered

that she still breathed. As Byron passed,

the dying girl moved the fingers of the hand

lying on the coverlet, and slowly opened on him her languid eyes eyes of inexpressible

depth and luslure. JNo one had spoKen

neck, there was something thal-still bieathed

of surpassing elegence. " It was ihe shadowy

wreck of no ordinary mortal passing away humble as were the surroundings, and strange asi h&dl n,s summons to her bedside. . Ad '3 this' Byron?!' she said, at last, in a voice bewilderingly sweet even through its

Weakness. "My lord! I could not die wiihout seeing you without relieving my soul from a mission with which it has been long burthened. Come neaer for , I have no time left for ceremony, and 1 must say what I have to say and die." , s

- She hesitated, and as Byron took the thin

hand she held to him,she looked steadily up

on his noble countenance, - -,"

"Beautiful!" she said; "beautiful as ihe

dream of him which has so long haunted me!

the intellect and the person of a spirit of

light! Pardon me, my lord! Pardon me,

that at a moment so important to yourselt the remembrance of an early feeling ha3 been

betrayed into expression." 4

She paused a moment, and the bright col

or that had shot through her cheek and brow

faded again, and her countenance resumed its heavenly serenity. "I am near enough to death'," she resumed "near enough to

point you almost to Heaven from where I am:

and it is on my heart like the one errand of

my life like the bidding of God to implore

you to prepare for judgment. Oh, my lord!

with your glorious powers, with your wonderous gifis.be not lost! Do not, for the poor

pleasures of a world like this, lose an eternt

ty In which your great mind will outstrip the intelligence of angels. Measure this thought

scan th worth of angelic bliss with the

intellect which- -fcaa ranged "so 1 gloriously

through the universe ; do not, on this one momentious subject of human interest on Ibis alone be not short sighted!" . ? ,.. . "What shall I do?" suddenly burst from

Byron's lips in a tone of agoHy. But with

au effort as if struggling with a death pang, he again drew up his form, and resumed the marble colrnness of his countenance. The dying girl, meantime seemed to have lost herself in prayer. With her wasted hands clasped on her bosom, and ber eyes

turned upwards, the slight motion of her lips

betrayed to those around her that she was pleading at the throne of mercy. The physician crept close to her bedside, but with his hand on his breast and his head bowed, he seemed but watching for the moment when her soul would take its flight. She suddenly raised hersell on the pillow. Her long brown tresses fell over her shoulJers, and it brightness unnatural and almost fearful kindled in her eyes.' She - seemed endeavoring to speak, and gazed steadfastly

at Byron. Slowly, then, and tranquilly she

sank back upon the pillow, and as her hands

fell apart, and her eyelids dropped, she murmured, "Come to Heaven!" and the 6lillness

of death was in the room, ihe spirit bad

fled.

A son 1 of:; Erin? thus describes a snake: "He is a venimus -baster he haa-ceiiher hind fore legs, nor fore hind lings; he hilMieiiher hair, feathers, nor wool on him; he has an eye like a chicken, and goes crawling through the grass, and when you see him you're bound to run like ; blazes." '

TrtE Man of Leisure and the Pale Bot. 'You'll please not to forget to ask the

place for me, sir,' said a pale blue-eyed boy,

as he brushed the coat of the man of leisure,

at his lodgings. '

'Certainly not,' said Mr. lnklin. 'I shall

be going that way in a day or two.'

Did you ask for the place for me yester

day? said the pale boy, on the following day

with a quivering lip, as be performed tbe

same office.

No,' was the answer. 'I was busy, but I

will to-day.

God help my poor mother, murmured

the boy, gazing listlessly on the com Mr. Ink

lin laid in bis hand.

The boy went home he ran to the hun

gry children with the loai of bread he earn

ed by brushing the gentleman a coat at the

hotel. They shouted withjoy, and his moth

er held out her emaciated hand for a portion,

while a sickly smile flitted across her face.

'Mother, dear,' said the boy,! 'Mr. Inklin thinks he can get the place, and I shall have three meals a day only think, mother, three

meals! and it won't take three minutes to run

home and shate it with you.

The morning came and the pal boy's voice trembled with eagerness, as he asked

Mr. Inklin if he hadlapplied for the place.

'Not vet.' said the man of leisure, but

there is time enough.' ' - ' The cent that morning was wet with tears,

Another morning arrived. ; , "It is very thoughtless in the boy to be so late,' said Mr. Inklin not a soul here to brush my coat.' ' The child came at length, his face swollen with weeping. ' "I am sorry to disappoint you,' said the man of leisure, 'but the place in Mr. C store was taken up yesterday.' The boy stopped brushing, and burst afresh

THE DEMAGOGUE.

We need not write the name of a public man,

of this State below the following picture of a " Demagogue to indicate who it is, 'It will be recognised at once : - - ''! -f !-. v?

"Tbe lowest of politicians is that man who'

seeks to .ratify an invarible selfishness by pre

tending to seek the public good. For a profile.-

ble popularity be accommodates himself to all

opinions, to all dispositions, to everyjside, and to

each prejudice. He is a mirror with no face of

its own, but a smooth surface from which each man of ten thousand may see himself reflected.'

He glidoe from man to man coinciding with their views, pretending their feeling simulating their taate: with this one, he hates a man; with that one he loves the same man; be favors a law, and dislikes it; he aproves and opposes; he is on both sides at once,- and seemingly wish.

es thai he could be on one side more than both

aides. He attends meetings to euroress intern-

porance but at elections, makes every grog shop free to all drinkers. 'He can with equal

relish plead most eloquently fortrmperence, or

toss oft" a dozen glassesin a dirty grocery. Ho thinks that there ii aTtinie for every thing, and therefore at one time he swears, and jeers and leers, with a carousing crew; and at another time, having happily been converted,he displays the various ' features of devotion. Indeed he is caps cious christian; an epitome of faith. He pi.

oualy asks the class leader, of the welfare of his

charge, for he was always a Methodist' and aN ways shall be, until be meets a Presbyterian ;then he is a P reabyterian, old school or new, as the case requires. However, he is not a bigot, he can afford to be a Baptist, in a good Baptist

neighborhoad, and with a wink he tells the zeal

ous elder that he never had one of his children

baptised; not he! Ha whispers to the Reformer that he abhors all creeds but Baptism and the Bible. After all this, room . will be found in his heart tor .the fugitive seeta also, which come and go like clouds in summer sky, , His flattering attention at' church edifies the simple hearted preacher, wli o admires that a plain sermon should mak a man whisper amen! and weep.' Upon the stump his tact is no leas rare'. He roars and bawls with courageous plainness, on points about which all agree; but upon subjects where men differ, his meaning is nicely balanced oh a "pivot that it may dip either way. He depends for success chiefly upon humorous stories. A glowing patriot at telling stories is a dangerous sntagonist; for it ia hard - to expose tho fallacy of a hearty laugh, and men convulsed wiia merriment are alow to perceive in what way an argument is a reply to a story. . Pcrseverenee. . effrontery, good nature and

versatile cunning have advanced many a , bad man hi-jher than a good couuld attain.' Men will a dmit that he has not a single moral virtue but he is smart. We object to no man for amusing himself at the fertile resources of the politician here painted; for sober men are. sometimes plaeaed with the griraacea and rntschievona tricks of a versatile monkey ; and weold it not be strange indeed, if they should select Mm for a ruler, or make him an exemplar to their stasl
