From ihe lloyl s own ir.tcll.nctr. THE ORPHAN. I saw the poor wndeitr set on the sand, Beneath yonder wide spreading tree; His bead quite uncover'd reposed on his band, While he rested his urm on his knee. The tears of afflictions were bright in his eye, And 1 askM him what caused tbr m to fljw, He mildly lookM up and repl)7d with a sigh, "I'm an orphan in sorrow and wo. "Oh1 pity kind mortal and deign to be good, And shelter a stranger forlorn; . For I have not tasted a morsel of food, Since early on yesterday morn.
"Last eve when the sun had retired with his lighS To yonder fair dwelling I sped, To ask for a place to repose for the night, And beg for a morsel of bred. "I enterM with n the magnificent door, Gay luxuries crowded the hall, Ad e-fgnt carpet spread over the floor 1 And paintings envelup'd the wll. 'Bot its mast r was obdurate, ne'er had he felt, For a morul with mis'ry oppresi; And when in tffliction before him I knelt, . Compassion ws far frora his breast. 'He smiiM at my sorrow and Uugh'd at ray tens, And setm'd to exult in my pain; He mock'd at my trembling and taunted my fears, And bad- rae go winder again. "I left the inflexible monster and fled ' From bis inhospitable door; Fur hs barbarous gaze nearly frenzy'd my head, While trembling 1 stood on his floor. "I thought thit the beasts that roam over the wild Could not more barbarity show, They would not insult an unfortunate child, When sunk in affliction and wo. "I rrawl'd to this grve, to the foot of this tree, Where I laid myself down in despair, Iiesv'd to remain hr-re till death set me free, From all my misfortunes and care. "But hope with the morn has awoke in ray breas" , I trus that assistance is nigh; For .ho7 ( m htrd by advrrsuy press'd. Yet I feel 1 m unwilling to die. "Then pity kind friend, and consider ray grief, Thou canst my iffl-ouun rtroovt; And he who ( xtends to the wretched relief, Is laying up trr-ures above." ANNE ROYALL, To the Courier and Enquirer. My Dearest Friends, What is the reason that you make no mention of my triumphal march through the South? From the days of my predecessor, Queen Elizabeth, no woman has enjoyed such fame—such eclat as I have done. I say this wilh ali becom ing modesty, for every one who knows me is aware how sensitive I am on that point. There is no place in this Union worthy living in during the winter but the South. I have passed through Richmond, and had a strong desire to call and drink a cup of tea with my friend of Roanoke. In Fayetteville an. Raleigh you have no conception how glad all classes of society were to see me. I received several hints that a public dinner would be offered me, and a speech expected from the great Mrs. Royall. Having disapproved of this gormandizing practice ever since Mi. Clay entered upon the eating plan, I cannot forego my principles--I must preserve my consistency. Occasionally, however, I like to take a cup of tea with a few of the literati, and discuss the affairs of the nation, and the forthcoming novels and poetry. I had the pleasure of seeing old Mr. Gales in Raleigh. He is a clever old gentleman, with blue eyes and grey hair. I gave him a word of advice, which I have no doubt he will remember.—North Carolina is a poor miserable state after all they can say. They do occasionally pick up a little gold, but their paper wants the doctoring of my friend Judge Forman. How is my old friend Gen. Root coming on in Albany ? I see by the papers that he is kicking up a row there occasionally. Gen. Root is the John Randolph ot New York. You must take parfirular care of him till I return. I mean to salt him up in my Black Book for posterity. Before I left Washington, I put Congress to rights, but they are such a set of sad fellows, that they cannot keep straight unless I am constantly with them. Mr. Chilton, I perceive, has gone over to Clay. Last December I gave him the head of several sermons, besides a dozen resolutions. I thought they were quite sufficienl to occupy him during the session. Mr. Chilton, to my certain knowledge, has quite mistaken his genius. As a fiddler, he might have stood unravelled. He is really excellent at the long bow, and many's the time I have danced to him when he was in the right key. I was the other day in Charleston, and sulfered much from the barbarians and blue skins. I have borne much degradation and contumely in South Carolina, and I am half inclined to put her down in my Black Book. The "Old Dominion,'' is a glorious state. She is the Sparta nf the South—full of public virtue—public principle—firmness and integrity. I have not many Black Books there. The "0ld Dominion," never mires in the waltz and other indelicate dances. South Carolina is eternally kicking up rows. There was I, Anne Royall, in Charleston, hunted into a grocery by some of the mad
caps, and not only that, but cheated out of my passage'money to Camden. I have been told that South Carolina intends to put herself upon her sovereignty—she had better put herself into an honest bib and tucker, and behave like an honest woman who was never yet twice married. I hate all those
who marry second husbands. It is a monstrous departore from the purity ol our first love. I see the old Adams and Clay party in the South are making a great noise and opposing the nominations. I wanted to dish them completely, and I told Mr. Webster that he must make an opposition. You must take care of Co!. Crockett. He is a particular friend of mine, and can eat an alligator to break fast without butter. i don't suppose the Colonel will speak many speeches in Congress while I am absent from Washington. If he is a wise man he will be quiet.--Do you know Mr. Lemar, from Pennsylvania? He is another particular friend of mine. I blew him before I left Washington, and sel him in the right track. I am going as far as New-Orleans before I return. I hope I shall be in time to catch some of the fragments that fall from the table of Henry Clay. Remember me to Thomas Skidmore, Esquire, and his friends at Military Hall. I shall be in NewYork next summer, and help them to make a ticket. Thine forever, ANNE ROYALL. From the Mechanics' Fre P ess. AIT AB1TE1JTURH. BY eETE.I SINGLE. There are many snuum ns in life that men are placed in ,w hich will bring forth talent, strength, courage, and ingenuity, which himself and others deetm d t tal. ly at variance with his nature. I am one whose life has been an undisturbed scene of peace and quietness. N quarrel or dispute e ver rendered it nect.ssa ry for me to call forth my moral or phys ical strength, both of which, mvv,Iarn inclined to believe, 1 posses-,at leasl Ihe reader will bear me ou'. when 1 have related the following adventure. I was on my way to P , in the fall of 18 ; it was drawing towards a cold evening, in the first fall month, when my horse mechanic. dly stopped before a respectable house, about our miles from N. There was something strange and remarkable in this action ol my horse; nor would he move a step in spite of all my exertions to move him on. I determined to gratify his whim, and at the same time a strange present rnent which came over me a kind f supernatural feeling, indescribable, that seemed to uige me to enter. H iving knocked, and r questing to be conducted to the lady or gentleman of the houe, I was ushered into a neat setting room, where sat a beautiful girl about twenty years of age. She r. se at iny enterance, and seemed a liitle surprised ai the appearance of a perfect stranger. In a few words I related to hei the strange conduct d my horse, his stubborn opposition to my will; so tne preternatural loreb -dings ot my mind. 1 am not, I observed, superstition, nor inclined to lean on the side ol the rneta phybital doctrines of those who support them; but the Strang , unaccountable feeling thai crept over me in attempting to pass your house, induced rue lo solicit lodging for the niht. We are not," she replied, "well guarded, 'tis true; but in this part ol il e country we have little to fearir.in robbers, fr we nevr heard of any being near us; we are surrounded by gnud neighbors, at d I flatter melf we are at peace with them all. But (his evening, in consequence of ny lathei's absence, I feel ur. usually lonesome, and if it were not bordering on the superstitious, I might reason like you have, and say I consent to your slaying, for nmilar feeling have betn mine ere you arrived; Iron what cause, I cannot imagine." The evening passed delightfully away ; my y oung hostess being intelligent and lovely, the hours flew so qun k, that on looking at my watch, I wa surprised lo find it was 11 o'clock. This was the signal for retiring, and by 12 every inmate of the house was probably asleep, save myself. 1 could not sleep ; strange visions flouted across my brain, and 1 lay turning and twisting on the bed, in all the agony of sleepless suspense. The clock struck one its last vibrating sound had scarcely died away, when Ihe opening of a shutter, and the raising of a sash in one of the lower apartments, convinced me some one was entering the house. A noise followed as of a person jumping from the window sill to the floor, and then followed the light and almost noiseless step ol one ascending ihe stairway. I slept in the room adjoining the one occupied by the lady ; mine was next the frlaircae; the step came along the gal lery, how and cautious. 1 had seized my pistol, and slipped on part of m clothes, determined to watch or listen to raovt merits seemingly my sterious and suspicious ; the sound of the step stopped at my door then follow ed one as of ihe apply ing cf the ear to the key holo, and a low breathing conviuced me
the villain was listening. I stood motionless, with the pistol firmly grasped Not a muscle moved, not a nerve was slackened, fori felt as if heaven had elected me out as the instrument to effect it3 purpose. The peison now -lowly passed on, and I as cautiously approached the door of my chamber. I now went by instinct, or rather by the conveyance of sound; for as soon as I heard his hand grasp the latch of one door, mine seized on the other a deep silence followed this movement; it seemed as if he heard the sound, and awaited the repetition it came not all was still; he might have considered it the echo of hi3 own noise. I heard
the door open softly; I also opened mine, and the very moment I stepped into the entry I caught a glimpse of a tall man enter the lighted chamber of the young lady. I softly stepped along the entry , and approached the chamber; through the half opened door 1 glanced my eyes into the room. No object was visible, save the curtained bed, within whose sheets lay the intended victim to a midnight assassin, and he gracious heaven! a kecro!!! For at that moment a tall, fierce looking blai k approached the bed; and never was O In Ho and Dt sdemona more naturally represented at least that par titular scene of ihe immortal bard's conception. 1 vvas now all suspense; mv lu-art swelled in my throat almost to suffocation, my eyes to cracking, as I made a bound into the room. The h!a k villain had ruthlessly dragged part of the covering olf the bed, when the kou. (I of tny fool caused hirn to tur.. He -!arted, and thus confronted wt stood jezit,g on eac h other for a few second; his eyes shot fire fury was deph ted in his countenance. He made a spring towards mi and the nex1 moov-u lay a corpse on the flo r ! Tiie noise of the pistol aroused the fair sleeper; she started in her bed, and seemed an angel of the while clouds emerging from her downy bed to soar up to tin' skis-. The first thing that presented itself to her view, was myself standing near her, with a pistol in my hand. 4Oh, do not murder me! take all; yon cannot, will not kill me, sir!" The servants now rushed in; ail was explained. The wretch turned out to be a vagabond, supposed a runaway slave from Virginia: and 1 had the providential opportunity of rescuing one from the worst of fates, who in after years, called me husband, and related to our children her miraculous escape from the bold attacks of a midnight assassin. A Letter from an Am t in Ireland, to her Atphezc, Dear Jtphezv: 1 have not written to you sii ce iny last before now, because as wt hiid moved from our former place ot lining, 1 did riot know where a letter would find you; but ! now with pleasure t ike my pen to inform yon of the tin lancholy news of the death of your own living uncle Kilpatrick, who (In d very suddenly last week alter a lingering illness ot five months. The io. i n an was in violent Convulsions the w ht h lime ol his sickness, lay ing periVc ry quiet and speechless, all the wr.ile taiking incoherent, and calling for vater. I had no opportunity of informii g y ou of his death sooner, except I had wrote you by last post, which went If two days before he died, and then you would have had postage to pay. 1 am at a loss to tell what his death wa. occasioned by, but 1 fear it was brought on by his last sickness, for he was never well ten days together, during the whole timeol his confinement, and I be-' lieve his mc kness was occasioned by his eating too much of rabbits stulfed with peae and gravy, or pease and gravy stuiTui with rabbits, 1 cant tell which, but be that, as it will, as soon as he breathed his lat the doctors gave over all hopes ol his recovery. I need not lell you any thing about his age, for you well know that in December rux:, he would have been twenty five years old lacking ten months and he had lived till then, he would, then have been just six months dead. His properly now devolves on his next of kin, ivho all died some time ago, so that 1 expect it will be. divided between us; and you know his property was something very considerable, for he had a fine estate which was sold to pay his debts, and the remainder he lost in a horse-race; but it was the opinion of every body at ihe time, that he would have won the race, if the horse he run against had not been too fast for him. 1 never saw a man, and the doctors all say so, that observed directions and took medicine better than he did. He said he had as leave drink gruel as wine, if it had only the same taste, and would as soon take jallap as eat beef-stake, if it had the same relish. But poor soul he will never eat or drink more, and you have not a living relation in the world except myself and your two cousins, who were killed in the last war. 1 can't dwell on this mournful subject, and shall seal my letter with black sealit g wax, and put on it your uncle's coat of arms, go 1 beg you Dot lo breuk
the seal when you open the letter, and don't open it till three or four days after you receive it, by which time you will be prepared for the sorrowful tidings. When you come to this place, stop, and do not read any more till my next. P. S. Don't write me again till you receive this.

A lady a little advanced in life, gave the required intimation Lorenzo visitr-d her she became his wife, and shared her fortune with him, A young fellow, wh is the very tippy bob in a village "down soulh," fell desperately in love with the blle of the place, who, besides a pretty face, had & good fortune, and whaTs more, had received a goodly education at a fashionable boarding school, lie was at first, rather shy when in her presence, knowing her to be somewhat above him; but on being en couraged by some of his wagish friends, he determind to pep the question, for they had so flittered him, that he began to the k in reality that he was most too good for her, He accordingly fraught her presence, and after a long story anout his burning paasion, long sutKrug broktn hear', ?tc--be at length came to the point, and askeu her in good tamest if she wouid have him.
