MISCELLANY.

From tha Great Wwt JOHN TAYLOR. Tfe TIsaMSi T the BiekmWi Bur & Patlsiit. BY CHAKLBS SCMMERFIELD. 1 can never forget my first vision of John Taylor. It was in the Court House, at Lewisburg Conoway county, Arkansas, in the summer of 1838. The occasion itself possessed ter rible interest A vast concourse ot spectators had assembled to witness j the trial of a very young and beautiful girl on an indictment for murder. The Judge waited at the moment for'4the Sheriff to bring in his. prisoner, and the eyes of the impatient multitude all centered on the xloor, when suddenly a stranger entered, whose appearance rivited universal attention. Here is his portrait: a figure, tall, lean, sinewy and strait as an arrow; a face sallow, billious aud twitching incessantly with nervous irritability; a brow, broad, soaring, massive, seamed with wrinkles, but not from age for he was scarcely forty; eyes, reddish yellow, like the wrathful eagle, as bright aud piercing; and finally, a mouth with lips of cast iron, . 11 . 11 : av. mm, cunea, com, sueenug, uiu intense expression of which looked the living embodiment of an unbreathed curse. He was habited in a suit of new buckskin, ornamented after the fashion of Indian costume, with beads of every color ia the rainbow. Elbowing his way slowly through the crowd, and apparently unconscious that he was regarded as a phenomenon, needed explanation, this singular being advanced, and with the haucrhtv air of a king as cending tho throne, seated himself within the bar, thronged as it was with the disciples of Coke and JJlackstone, several of whom it was known esteemed themselves far superior to those old and famous masters. The contrast between the outlandish garb and disdainful countenance of the stranger, excited especially the risibility of the lawyers, und the junior members began a suppressed titter which grew louder, and soon swept around the circle. They doubtless supposed the intruder to be somu wild hunter of the mountains, who had never btfbra seen the interior of a hall of justice. Instantly the cause and object of j laughter perceived it: turned hi head gradually, so as to give each liugher a look; his lips curled with a killing smile of infinite scorn; his yellow eyes shot arrows of lightning, his tongue protruding through his teeth literally writhed 4ike a serpent, and ejaculated its asp-like poison in a single word: 'Savages!' No pen can describe the defiant force which he threw into that term, no pencil might paiut the infernal furor of his utterance, although it hardly exceeded a whisper. But he accented every letter as if it were a separate emission of that fire that scorched his quivering lips, laying a horrid emphasis on the S, both at the beginniug and end of the word: 'SavageS!'

a deafening cheer. 1 1 I III T A V ' I 1 I A The Judge turned to the prisoner: 'Emma Miner, the court has been informed that your counsel, Col. Linton, is sick, have you em ployed any other.' ! She answered in a voice sweet as the warble of the nightingale, and clear as the song of the skylark. My enemies have bribed all the lawyers even my own to be sick; but God will defend the innocent!' At this responce so touching in its simple pathos, a portion of the auditors buzzed applause and the rest wept. On the instant however, the stranger whose appearance had previously excited such merriment started to his feet, approached the prisoner, whispered something in her ear. She bounded six inches from the floor, uttered a piercing shriek, and then stood trembling as in the presence of a ghost from Eternity; while the singular being who had caused her unaccountable emotion, addressed the court in his sharp ringing voice, sonorous as the sound of bellmetal: 'Mav it Dlease vour honor, I will V I v assume the task of defending the lady.' 'What!' exclaimed the astonished Judge 'are you a licensed attorney?' 'The question is irrevalent and immaterial,' replied the stranger, with a venomous sneer, 'as the re cent statute entitles any person to act as counsel at the request of a party 'Cut does the prisoner request it?' enquired the Judge. 'Let her speak for herself,' said the stranger. 'I do,' was the answer, as a long drawn sigh escaped, that seemed to rend her very heart strings. The case immediately progressed; and as it has a tinge of romantic mystery, we will epitomise the sub stance of the evidence. About twelve months before, the defendant had arrived in the village, 1 and opcnedanestablishmentof millinery. Residing in a room connected with her shop, and all alone; she prepared the articles of her trade with unwearied labor and con summate taste. Her habits were secluded, modest and retiring; and hence she might have hoped to avoid notoriety; but for the perilous gift of that extraordinary beauty, which too often, and to the poor aud friendless always, proves a curse. She was soon sought after by all those glittering fire-flies of fashion, the profession of whose life everywhere, is seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected them all with unutterable scorn and loathing. Among these rejected admirers was oue of a character from which the fair milliner had everything to fear. Hiram Shore, belonging to a family at once opulent, influential and dissipated. He was himself licentious, brave and ferociously revengeful the most famous duellist 4i, , ... iu ..i tea iu win uit; iaui ui uiu irn ei Emma, and had shared the fate of all other wooers; a disdainful repulse: i Af rtitto a rOnfUT nn TM-iriaf mac -; ht 183G le of Lewis. b - startled by a loud scream, ! f SQme one in'mortal tcrror. while following that, with scarcely , an inteml successive repor; of fue t three- dozi j r ti a i en deafening roars.

'In the name of God, who did this?' exclaimed thc appalled spectators. 'I did it,' said the beautiful milliner, in her sweet; silvery, accents; 'I did it to save my honor!' As may be readily imagined the deed caused an intense sensation. Public opinion however was divided. The poorerclasses,creditingthe girl's version of the facts, lauded her heroism in terms ot measureless eulogy. But the frijnds of the deceased aud TT t t 11 a 1 of his wealthj family, gave a differ

tunately for her, the officers of the law, especially the Judge and sheriff, were devoted comrades of the slain, and displayed their feelings m a revolting par nam v. xnu . ti' i 1:1... rni. .TudffR committed her without the privilege of bail, and the sheriff chained her in the felon's dungeon! Such is a brief abstract of the cir cumstances developed in the exam ination of witnesses. The testimony closed and the pleadings began. First of all, three advocates spoke in succession for the prosecution; but neither their names nor their arguments are worth preserving. Orators of the blood and thunder genus, they about equally partitioned their howling eloquence betwixt the prisoner and her leather-robed counsel, as if in doubt who of the twain was then on trial. As for the stranger ho seemed not to pay the slightest attention to his opponents, but remained motionless with his forehead bowed like one buried in deep thought or in slumber. When the proper time came, however, he suddenly sprang to his feet, crossed the bar, and took his position almost touching the jury. He then commenced in a whisper, but it was a whisper so wild, so clear, so unutterably ringing and distinct, as to fill the hall from floor to galleries. At the outset he dealt in pure logic, separating and combining the

proven facts, till the whole mass of 'infant boy, and set out on his laboconfused evidence looked transpa- rious tour. But from that hour he rent as a globe of glass, through j heard no more from his fickle conwhich the innocence of his client : sort till the end of a year; and then shone, brilliant as sunbeam; and the ! the intelligence came in the letter

Unfortunately the very rcHe changed his theme once more, j verse proved to be the fact John His voice grew mournful as a fune- j Taylor, without a wife, was always ral song, and his eyes filled with ' running mad with love, while with tears, as he traced a vivid picture of a wife, he grew still madder from man's cruelties and woman's wrongs, 'jealous'. He wedded half a dozen with particular illustrations in the ; beautiful young girls in as many

case of his client; till one half the audience wept like children. But it was in the peroration that he reached his zenith, at once of tcrrc " n nd sublimity. His features were livid as those of a corpse; his very hair appeared to stand on end; his ixrves hook as with a palsy; he tossed his hands wildly toward heaven, each finger stretched apart and quivering like the flame of a candle. As he closed with the last rdsof the deceased Hiram Shore 'Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to hell!' his emphasis on the word hell embodied the acme and ideal of all horror. It was a wail of immeasurable despair. No language can depict the effect on us who heard. Men groaned; females screamed and one poor mother fainted, and was borne away in convulsions. The speech occupied but an hour. The jury renderad a verdict of 'Not Guilty,' without leaving thc box; and three cheers, like successsivc roars of an earthquake, shook the old court house from dome tc corner-stone, testifying the joy of the people. After the adjournment which occurred near sun-set the triumphant advocate arose and gave out an appointment: 'I will preach iu this hall to-night at eight o'clock. He then glided through the crowd, speaking to no one, though many attempted to draw him into conversation. At eight o'clock the court house vns again thronged, and the stran-

ger accordiug to his promise, deliv

ered his sermon. It evinced tne same attributes as his previous eloquence of the bar; the same compact logic, the same burning vehe mence, and increased bitterness 01 denunciation. Indeed, misanthro py revealed itself as the prominent emotion. The discourse was a tirade against infidels, in which class the preacher seemed to include every body but himself; it was a picture of hell, such as Lucifer might have drawn, with a world in flames for his pencil. But one paragraph pointed to heaven, and that only demonstrated the utter impossibili ty that any human being should V a ever get there. As to cilect, the lecture was a failure: the people were not much pleased to hear themselves lore doomed, in advance of the day of judgment! He ended, and left the village immediately, without even so much as his name being known Such was the strange eccentricity of John Taylor. I met him afterwards in Texas, and there learned the skeleton of his remarkable history. At twenty-two years of age he was one of the most promising, juniors of the Philadelphia bar, and such was the confidence inspired by the integrity of his character, that a distinguished wholesale merchant of the Quaker city, engaged him at a high salary to travel in the Western States as a collecting agent. Taylor bade a tender adieu to his young and beautiful wife, and his of a friend with a newspaper envel1 . . 11 oped, shortly alter ins departure the false lady had changed her domicil to Mississippi; obtained a divorce by the act ot the JLegishv ture; and procured 'a statute changing the name of j Taylor's son to that of Marks, for j her second husband! lms was a cruel blow in the most sensitive of all human hearts; and John lay lor lost his reason. I several years afterwards, he For wan dered over the wildest regions of, the West, a melancholy maniac. ' now familiar in every frontier community. But the strangest part of our narrative remains to be told. It might be assumed that one, who had suffered such merciless crucifixion from the inconsistency of woman, would have exercised great caution different States, and never lived with any longer than six months. The lovely milliner of Lewisburg was one of the half dozen. He married her in New Orleans, and took her to Natchitoches where he then resided. Having lost so many bright birds, he determined to make sure of this. He provided iron shutters to all his windows; laid in a plentifel supply of fuel, food and water, locked up his chamber hung out a sign, inscribed: 'This is a private dwelling into which there can be no admittance,' and started for Baton Rouge court, to be absent three weeks. He returned, and found his beautiful bird gone. She made her way to Arkansas, as has been previously noticed; and an acquaintance passing at the date of her arrest for the homicide, recognized her and sent the news to Taylor, which accounts for his timely appearance at the trial. Yet 1 could not learn that he ever attempted to live with her again. He resides now at Marshall, Harrison county, Texas; though he is scarcely to be found at home once a year, sweeping as he does, a circuit as wide as the limits of the State, s He never converses but oa business, camps out nightly in the open air; thunders now in the forum, and anon in the sacred desk; he is a wanderer, a misanthrope; a Timon ofthe woods; but yet, by th: unanimous, verdict of all hearers, the most eloquent advocate that thc sad of Heaven ever saw.

MOFFAT'S Pills and Pliccnix

Life Bitters. TTrfese Medicine haretiW been before the pub. lie for a period of FIFTEEN YllABS, wl during tbat time hare maintained a high character in almost every part of the globe for their ettraor. dinary and immediate power of restoring parfaot health to persona Buffering under near every khtd of disease to which the human frame is liable. IN MANY THOUSANDS of certificated instances, they have area rescued suffere from the very verge of an untimely fTave. after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had at. terly failed ; and to many thousands they have permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of health, without which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy iny,. riably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared scarcely less than miraeulous to thosa who were acquainted with the beautifully Dhilosoohical nrinciples upon which they are compounded, and upoa which they consequently act. It was to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the spring and channels of life, and enduing them with r. newed tone and vigor, that they were indebted, fat their name. Unlike the host of pernicious quacVeries which boast of vegetable ingredients, the LITE UEDI' CINES purely and solely vegetable ; and con. taiu neither MercTiry, w Antimony, nor Aim. nic, nor any other mineral, in any form whatever. They are entirely composed of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders ta medical science ; and were never before administered in so happily efficacious a combination. The first operation is to loosen from the eoata nf the stomach and bowels the various impurities aud crudities constantly settling round them ; and to semove the hardened faeces which collect in tha convolutions of the small intestines. Other modicities only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Coetiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden Diarrbosa, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists who examine tha buman bowels after death ; and hence the prejudice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of tha VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES u cleanse the kidneys aud the bladder ; and, by this means, the liver and lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomacB, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of trie system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases in which the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES "-re well known to be iniai. uble: DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind; FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn, Headache, Restletmett, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor, aud Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure. Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence: all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diarrhoea and Cholera, by removing th sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secretion of the mucous membrane. Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood lo a regular circulation, through ihe process of perspi ration in such cases, and the thorough solution af all intestinal obstruction in others. The Lite Mrdicines have been known is cure RHEUMATISM permanently in three weeks, and GOUT in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligament of the joints. Dropsies f " kinds, by freeing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder : they operate moat delightfully on these important organs, and heace have ever been found a certain remedy for the worst cases of GRAVEL. Also WOrtlS, by dislodging from the taroiiica of the bowels tho slimy msl'-urro'lne turalll" creatures adhere. ? stv Trout' ufck'iurainn ' 1I Qui. its. . .O b ..lor w . which Ihest slight colds will occasion, I''ST moved, become hardened, and produces these dreadful diseases. Scurvy, Ulcers, nd Inveterate Sores, br the perfect purity which these UPE MEDI" CUTES t the Hood, and all the humors. . Scorbutic Eruptions' od Bad Complexions, hy their alterative effect upon the fluids tbat feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occasions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and other disagreeable complexions. Tho use of these Pills for a very short time will effect an entire cure of SALT RHEUM, and a striking; improvement in the clearness of the fkiD. COMMON COLDS aud INFLUENZA will always be cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst cases. PILES. As a remedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LITE HEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation. It is well known to hundreds in this city, that the former proprietor of these valu able Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of thirty-Five teirs ; snd that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Slediea He however at length tried the Medicine which is now offered to the public, and he was cured in a very shcrt time, after his recovery hd been pro. Bounced not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by any buman means. FEVER AND AGUE For this scourge of the western country these Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certain remedy.
