FEMALE PIETY. 'Tis sweet to. see the opening rose Spread its fair bosom to the sky; 3Tis sweet to view at twilight's close, I?The heaven's Bespangled canopy. is swprf amid the rernal grove, To hear the thrush's fervent lay, Or lark that wings his flight above, To hail the dawning of the day. But sweeter fr is maiden's eye, Upraised to heaven in pious prayer; When bath'd in tears she looks on high, What sacred eloquence is there! 0! sweeter far that sacred name, "My Father!" utterM by her tongue; And sweeter when her heavenly flame Ascends io pious holy song. O! swet when on the the bended knee, Her thoughts, her spirit mount above, In pious deep-felt ecstacy, To realms of everlasting love.

EDWARD AND MARY. CHAPTER THE LAST. Early on the following morning-, the Colonel found himself at his own quarters, but how he came there, he could not divine. The horror of the last night's interview remained uppermost in his imagination, and no

other thought could as yet find harbour

there. By degrees, however, his elf-posscssion returned, and his stern determinations and cruelty kept pace with it. Indeed, his desire of wreaking revenge upon Edward was augmented. This youth appeared to be his evil genius: his deepest plans were still foiled, and foiled by Edward: not a step could he take or project form, but Edward was there to mar it; a settled hate, which appeared to have originated in supernatural authority took full possession of his bosom, and ;te swore eternal vengeance against the uiHuriurate youth. His bloody scheme for the night having failed, the trial must now inevitably ensue; and he braced every nerve to meet it boldly. He felt that there was doubt respecting the result, and that doubt was founded upon danger. But it wat. too late to retract ; and collecting his firmness he shook olffear and despair, and stood, so fir, ur.vhackled. In the mean time, the Count had returned to the cottage, and over his present dress assumed his old disguise. The anxious inquiries of M.iry for Edward were satisfied, and the plans for the day formed. Caspar WP-s charged with the protection of Mary at the cottage; Friburg and the three soldiers were to remain within call from the court, and the Count would mingle with the spectators, and remain unobserved until his services were required. The hour of trial arrived, and found each one to the post assigned. Tin; judges were seated; the Colonel stood conspicuous as the accuser; the benches were filled with anxious spectators, and Edward was brought in. He silently bowed to the concourse of strangers around him, and took his seat with

clusc, and a chill of terror ran through his frame: "A liar; a false perjured villain T exclaimed he impetuously, in reply to tiie question of the General. "He has not spoken yet," said the General calmly. i;We will at least hear him, before we admit the accusation' "With permission of the President of the court," said the Colonel, "I object to his being heard."'

"There would be neither Jaw nor equity in preventing him," replied the General: we must grant the prisoner all possible opportunityto prove his innocence."

The Colonel was justly alarmed: unless he could prevent, by some decisive step, the declarations of this man, he saw he must be

defeated.

"General William," said he, "I know this man well: a base mercenary wretch, in the

service of the prisoner; bribed hither by him to blast my reputation, and rescue his ac

complice from the punishment his crime:

merit. ' "Without reference to the case in ques

tion," interrupted the Count, "I can produce

testimonials of my veracity which all pi e sent, even the accuser himself, shall ac knowledge.5 "Shall' acknowledge!" echoed Bremer fiercely.

"Colonel Bremer," said the General, "I . .t . iiii

command silence: iMe witness shall ue

heard." "I will transgress a few moments," con

tinued the Count, "in relating an incident,

of importance to those concerned, at the re collection of which, one heart in this assem

biv will tremble so lonir as the current of

life will flow there."

"In the city of Alenna, some eighteen

years since, two brothers resided, who be

came attached to a lady oi superior intellect and virtues: both were devoted to her, but she favoured the younger brother, and after a

time they were wedded.

"The evening following last night was

its anniversary the two brothers took an

accustomed walk; from which, late in the evening, the elder brother returned alone.

He circulated a tale respecting the disap

pearance of his brother, which obtained credence but the story was false" An involuntary start of the Colonel, at these words, directed manv eves towards him, but the Count proceeded. "The brothers had pursued their walk to the hanks of the Danube, where its stupendous and craggy dills projected over a deep and rapid current, and after pausing for a time to listen to the roar of the waters beneath, the younger brother proposed returning. The elder objected, saying, it was yet early, and the refreshing breeze was more grateful than the confined air of the city. " 'But,' replied the younger, 4I have a wife at home that waits for me.' "'Still let her wait,' was the answer; 'the moon yet lingers in the west, and its beams are food for expectation.' "'What mean you brother?' said the startled husband. "'l mean,' replied the elder fiercely, 'that the girl should have been mine you stole her affections from me.' ""if you accuse me of unfair means9 you do it falsely,' cooly returned the younger. '"speak not of falsehood,' said the other; 'no one exists who, unwinced, can accuse his fellow of falsehood. It generates with our existence; it is cherished in our religion; and it lives beyond the grave; I never found (ruth but in steel!'

"'Vou may find truth where it hies, and

"Lost lost beyond redemption lost!

the fiends that prompted the deed, have be

trayed me to death the choicest curses ot hell blast them, till they writhe with the torments that I now endure; ha! ha! ha!

the red artillery of heaven has burst upon them, and they fall ha! ha! ha!" and with

a frantic lauuh he fell senseless to the lloor.

In conclusion, Friburg and the soldiers

appeared and testified to the crimes of the

Colonel, who was condemned and executed ;

and Count Frederick came in possession

of his paternal estate.

Edward s release, honour, and promotion,

were announced at the same moment, and

the next day saw him happily wedded with

Mary.

Anecdote. A captain of a foreign vessel passing over tjie Old Dock Bridge, (in an

English port,) observed a colour under the arm of one oi the Bethel flag officers, and

stopped him to inquire, "Vat flag be dat?" "A Bethel ilag, captain." "Ho! dat Hag be goot ilag. I know, now, vat make no bad vomans, no bad mans quarrel on the Subbat." "What do you mean, captain?" "Vat do 1

La Mott's Cough Drops. Important Medicine for COUGHS AND CONSUMPTIONS. rjpilIS Elixir is not offered to the public as inI fdhble, and a rival to all others, but as pos

sessing irtues peculiarly adapted to the present pre-

vail.ns disorders of the breast and lungs, leaning to

consumption. A timely use of these Drops may be considered a certain cure in most cases of Common

Colds. Coughs, Influenza, Whooping-Covgh. Pavi in the Side, Difficulty f Breathing Want of Sleep arising from debility; and in Spasmodic Asthma it is singularly etficacious. A particular attention to the directions accompanying each bottle is necessary. The following certificates from resectable gentlemen, physicians and surgeons, are subjoined, to show that this composition is one which enlightened men are disposed to regard as efficacious and worthy of public patronage. I laving examined ihe composition of Mr. Crosby's improvement upon La Mutt s Cough Drops, we

have no hesitation in recommencing them to the. public, as being well adapted to those cases of disease for which he recommends it. Docfs Jonathan Dorr, dated Albany, December 4th, 1821; James Post, of White-creek, February 14th 18-25; Watson Summer and Join

At the conclusion of the charge, the qucs-shr tion "Guily, or not guilty?" was proposed,, br

,ro which tea warn promptly replied "iNot guilty." The court replied, that this must be made to appear: as yet no witneses were produced on either side, and the testimony of the superior officer must be taken in evidence, unless confronted by a third person on the part of the prisoner. Edward was required to produce such a witness; but he remained silent. The recluse was not named: the Colo

nel felt renewed confidence; and anticipated triumph was visible in his countenance. "Young man," continued the commander-in-chief, "this is to you a moment of the utmost consequence your reputation at least, perhaps your life, i at stake: the law must be regulated by the testimony in point, and on your part you have brought none: can you name no one who will jrive proof of palliating circumstances regarding your conduct?"

The court rose in astonishment, for the guilt of the Colonel was evident : Bremer, wrought to madness at the foregoing relation, and bewildered at the danger of his own inadvertant exclamation, became, in the whirlwind of conflicting passions, lost to every thing but the point of safety ; which he now thought to attain by refuting the tale. "I defy your proof," said he: "I defy all testimony you can bring to support this falsehood." "Thus I produce it," said the Count; who,

in the general confusion had, unobserved,!

stripped on his disguise, and now appeared himself. He held forth a dagger, stained with blood, bearing the crest of Richard Bremer; and he showed a rent in his sleeve, and a corresponding scar on his arm, where the erring blow was received. At the sicht of his brother, the Colonel lost all his firmness: the last remains of fortitude vanished from his breast, and he rushed tor ward deliriously, exclaiming:

Valuable Medicine. FTPS HE subscriber respectfully infarms the pubH lie, that he is in possession of a medicine, which, if there are any such, justly claims the title of specific in curing Srhirrois and Cttocerous affectionsso far as he has had an opportunity of witnessing its effects, it has never faded when the disease was not very far advanced, or situated on some part difficult of application. Notwithstanding the great improvement made in the healkig art, within the last few years, this protais disease, when excision and c.xterpation are neiected in the incipient stage, for the most part, baffles the skill of the ablest and most experienced of the medical faculty, when treated in the usual manner with aisenical preparations. Respecting the composition of this invaluable medicine, it miht be proper to state it is prepared from a veritable in a very condensed form; yet so mild when fotind in its native situation, as to be eaten by graminivorous animal, with impunity, as an article of food.
