SONG SWEET BOSSY KATE. By the author of "Blade Hawk, (S-c." In the huts of the poor, in the halls of the great. What form can compare with our own bonny Kate Let thein boast of their brightest from Texas to Maine, -No Fair of the East or the South we maintain, Can compare with the pride of our prosperous state, For we'll match with their fairest our sweet bonny ' Kate. I admit that she's haughty, I own she is proud, ' Her beauty and wit are displayed in the crowd; Yet receive but one glance from her eye, 'tis enough, Your heart's at her feet though you mail it m proot: For full many a lover bewails the hard late, Of the day he contended for sweet bonny Kate. There are'knights from the East bowing down at The ilerv Southron declares she's divine; And the Aully has turn'd rom rr For union he's ready to t v.-:. :. eresies now, last vow: kiic'u mvstflrv: both to t';': 2"iv and sedate Was there ever a fiir-o" i:iie sweet bonny Kate! Tiicn talk not of beauty that's east of the mountains, Tell rs no more oC m maidens or fountains; The West in its Liveliness widely is gleaming, Contentment a rid j ea-e o'er the lirJscape isstream- - ing, -If the bright scene should fail your sad heart to elate, It will gluw.at the sight of our sweet bonny Kate. From the Cincinnati Republican. 3d Ivrs. Crimes. Old Mr?. Grimes is living still, A widow still is she; She wears a neat old fashioned frock, A neater ne'er can be. She's happy home nor seeks abroad The scandals of the town; There's not enough put in her sleeves To make another gown. Although she's poor, the needy poor's Hard wants she will appease; Her dress it never drags the ground, Nor sets above her knees. She every Sunday goes to church, Nor Eleeps, nor chatters there; Her caps are of the plainest kind, Save one for Sunday's wear. She often says, "she hopes above, To meet hor husband dear;" - - She rents a cot at fifteen pounds, And pays it ev'ry year. She always was industrious, And rises now betimes; She's called by all her neighbors round, "The Good Old .Mrs. Grimes." W. S. s. EBody Snatching. From the Diary of a lale London Physician. 3Ty gentle reader start not at learning that I have been, in my time, a resurrectionist. Let not this nppalling word, this humiliating confession, conjure up in your fancy a thing of vampirc-Iike images and associations, or earn your "Physician's" dismissal from your hearts and hearths. It is your own groundless fears, my fair trembler! your own superstitious prejudices that have driven me, and will drive many others of my brethren, to such dreadful doings as those hereafter detailed. Come, come let us have one word of reason between us on the abstract question and then for my tale. You expect us to cure you of disease, and yet deny us the only means of learning how.1 You will have us bring you the ore of skill and experience, yet forbid us to break the soil, or sink a shaft! Is this fair, fair reader! Is this reasonable! What I am going to describe was my first and last exploit in the way of body stealing. It was a grotesque, if not a ludicrous scene, and occurred during the period of my "walking the hospitals," as it is called, which occupied the two seasons immediately after my leaving Cambridge. A young and rather interesting female was admitted a patient at the hospital I attended; her case baffled all our skill, and her symptoms even defied all our nosology. Now it seemed an enlargement of the heart now as ossification now this, that, and the other; and at last it was plain we knew nothing at all about the matter no, not even whether her disorder was organic or functional, primary or symptomatic; or whether it icrts.reauy me -ncari mat was at tauit. Sue receiv ed, jwbenebt at all unaer tue fluctuating schemes of treatment we pursued, and at length fell into dying circumstances. As soon as her friends were appris ed of her situation, and had an inkling of our intention to open the body, they insisted on removing her immediately from the hospital, that she might"die at home." In vain did Sir and his dressers expostulate vehemently with them, and represent in exaggerated terms the imminent peril attending such a step. Her two brothers avowed their appre" hension cf our design, and were inflexible in exercising their right of removing their sister. I used all my rhetoric on the occasion but in vain, and at last said to the young men, "Well, if you are afraid only of our dissecting- her, we can get hold of her, if wc are so disposed, as easily if she died with you, as with us." "Well we'll roythat, meastcr," replied the elder, while his Herculean fist oscillated somewhat significantly before my eyes. The poor girl was removed accordingly to her father's house, which was at a certain village about five miles from London, and survived her arrival scarcely ten minutes! We poon contrived to receive intelligence of the event; and as I and Sir 's two dressers had taken a great interest in the case throughout, and felt intense curiosity about the real nature of the disease, we met together and entered into a solemn compact, that come what might, we would have her body out of the ground. A trusty Bpy informed us of the time and exact place of the girl's burial; and on expressing to Sir our determination about the matter, he patted me on the back, saving "Ah, my fine fellow if you have spirit enoufrhan irons " &c. Scc. Was it skilfully said! The baronet further told us he felt himself so curious about the matter, that if fifty pounds would be of use to us, they were at our service. It needed not this, 'ncr a glance at the eclat with which the successful issue of the affair would be attended among our fellow students, to spur our resolves. The notable scheme was finally adjusted at my rooms in the Borough. 31 and E , Sir 's dressers, and myself, with an experienced ""-rao," that is to say, a professional resurrectionist; were to set off from the borough about nine o'clock the next : evening which would be the third lay after the burial m a glass coach, provided with all "appliances and means to boot." During the day, however, our friend tW from an over-night's excess, as to disappoint us of Ins invaluable assistance. ThisNunexpccted contretemps nearly put an end to our project; for the tew other grabs we knew, were absent on professional tours! Luckily, however, I bethought me of a poor Irish porter a sort of "ne'er-do-well" Wg-

er-on at the hospital, whom I had several times

hired to so on errands. This man I sent for to my rooms, and in the presence oi my two coaujuiors nn:i,aiml tlirmt.oned. and brothered into accuies cence, promising him half a guinea for his evening's work, and as much whiskey as he could onnk pru- j dently. As Mr. Tip that was the name lie went j by had some personal acquaintance with the sick j rrrab, he succeeded in borrowing his chief tools; with j grab which, in a sack large enough to contain the expected prize he repaired to my rooms about nine o'clock, while the coach was standing at the door. Our Jehu had received a quiet douceur in addition to the hire of mvselfand coach. As soon as we had ex- I hibited sundry doses of Irish cordial to our friend I Tip, under the effects of which he became quite j "bouncible," and ranted about the feat he was to j make a prominent part in and equipped ourselves j in our worst clothes, and white top-coats, we enter-j ed the vehicle four in number and drove off. The weather had been exceedingly capricious all tue , evening moonlight, rain, thunder, and lightning, fitfully altering. The only thing we were anxious about, was the darkness to shield us from all possi ble observation. I must own that in analyzing the feelings that prompted me to undertake and go through with this affair, the mere love of adventure operated as powerfully as the wish to benefit the cause of anatomical science. A midnight expedit ion to the tombs! It took our fancy amazingly; and then Sir 's cunning hit about the "danger," and our "spirit!" ...... The garrulous Tip supplied us with amusement all the way down rattle, rattle, rattle, incessantly; but as soon as we had arrived at that part of the road where we were to stop, and caught sight of church, with its hoary steeple gray, glistening in the fading moonlight, as though it was standing sentinel over the graves around it, one of which we were going so rudely to violate, Tip's spirits began to falter a little, lie said little and that at intervals. To be very candid with the reader, none of us felt overmuch at our ease. Our expedition began to wear a somewhat hairbrained aspect, and to be environed with formidable contingencies which we had not taken sufficiently into our calculations. What, for instance, if the two stout fellows, the brothers, should be out watching their sister's grave! They were not like to stand on much ceremony with us. And the manual difficulties! E was the only one of us that had ever assisted at the exhumation of a body and the rest, of us were likely to prove but bungling workmen. However, we had gone too far to think of retreating. We none of us spoke our suspicions, but the silence that reigned within the coach was significant. In contemplation, however, of some such contingency, we had put a bottle of brandy in the coach pocket; and before we drew up, we had all four of us drank pretty deeply of it. At length, the coach turned down a by-lane to the left, which led directly to the churchyard wall; and after moving a few steps down it, in order to shelter our vehicle from the observation of highway passengers, the coach stopped, and the driver opened the door. "Come, Tip," said I, "out with you!" "Get out, did ye say, sir! To be sure I will Out! to be sure I will." But there was small show of alacrity in his movements as he descended the steps; for while I was speaking, I was interrupted by the solemn clangour of the church clock announcing the hour of midnight. The sound seemed to warn us against what we were going to do. "'Tis a cold night, yer honours," said Tip, in an under tone, as we successively alighted, and stood together, looking up and down the dark lane, to see if any thing was stirring but ourselves. "Tis a could night and and and" he stammered. "Why, you cowardly old scoundrel," grumbled , "are you frightened already! What's the matter, eh! Hoist up the bag on your shoulders directly, and lead the way down the lane." "Och, but yer honours och! by the mother that bore me, but 'tis a murtherous cruel thing, I'm thinking, to wake the poor cratur from her last sleep." He said this so querously, that I began to entertain serious apprehensions, after all, of his defection; so I insisted on his taking a little more brandy, Ly way of bringing him up to par. It was of no use, however. His reluctance increased every moment and it even dispirited us. I verily believe the turning of a straw would have decided us all jumping into the coach again, and returning home without accomplishing our errand. Too many of the students, however, were apprized of our expedition, for us to think of terminating it so ridiculously! As it were by mutual consent, we stood and paused a few moments, about half way down the lane. 31 whistled, whistled, with infinite success and Aistlnetncss; V. remarked to me that he "always thought that a churchyard at midnight was the gloomiest object imaginable;" and I talked about business "soon be over" "shallow grave," e. &c. "Confound it what if those two brothers of hers should be there!" said 31 abruptly, making a dead stop, and folding his arms on his breast. "Powerful fellows, both of them!" muttered E . Wc resumed our march when Tip, our advanced guard a title he earned by anticipating our steps about three inches suddenly stood still, let down the bag from his shoulders elevated both hands in a listening attitude and exclaimed "Whisht! whisht! liy my soul what was that!" We all paused in silence, looking palely on one another but could hear nothing except the drowsy flutter of a bat wheeling away from us a little over-head. "Fait an' wasn't it somebody spaking on the far side o' the hedge, I heard!" whispered Tip. "Pho stuff, you idiot!" I exclaimed, losing my temper. "Come 31 and E , it's hightime wc had done with all this cowardly nonsense" and if we mean really to do any thing, we must make haste. 'Tis past twelve day breaks about four and it is one. liere lm annoved us ao-am. T told him to CJ -WW lay down his bag, mount the wall, and look over into the yard, to see whether all was clear before us; and, as far as the light would enable him, to look about tor a new-made grave. Very reluctantly he com pfied, and contrived to scramble to the top of t wall. He had hardly time, however, to peep over j at into the churchyard, when a flutterimr streak of lightning flashed over us, followed in a second or two, by a loud burst of thunder! Tip fell in an instant to the ground, like a cock-chaffer shaken from an elm tree, and lay crossing himself,- and muttering Paternosters. We could scarce help laughing at the manner in which he tumbled down, simultaneously with the flashinsr of lio-htnino- "Now. look ve. gentlemen," said he, still squatting on the ground, "do ye mane to give the poor cratur Christian burial, when ye've done wid her! An' will vp nut hnr back again as ye found her. 'Case, if you wont, blood an' oons" "Now, look ye, Tip," said I, sternly, takin" out one of a brace of empty pistols I had put into my great coat pocket, and pressing it to his head "we have hired you on this business, for want of a better you wretched fellow! and if you give us any more of

Geh, aisy, aisv wid ye! don't murthcr me! Had luck to me," that I ever cam wid ye! They soon cleared the wall and discovered the grave. ye iia( no umbrellas, and our great-coats were saturated with wet: but the brandy we had recently taken did us good service, by exhilarating or spirits, VA esneciallv those of Tip. He untied the sack in peci a twinkling, and shook out the hoes and spades, &c; and takinsrono of thy latter himself, he commenced digging with such energy, that we had hardly prepared ourselves for work, before he had cleared away nearlv the whole of the mound. The rain soon abated, and the lightning ceased for a considerable interval, though thunder was heard occasionally rumbling sullenly in the distance, as if expressing ang?r at onr unholy doings at least I felt it so. The pitchy darkness continued, so that we could scarce see one another's figures. We worked on in silence, as fast as our spades could be got under ground; taking it in turns, two by two, as the grave would not admit of more. While I was thus engaged, a sudden noise, close to our ears, startled me so, that I protest I thought I should drop down dead in the grave I was robbing. I and my fellow digger dropped our spades, and all four stood still for a se cond or two, in an ccstacy of fearful apprehension. We could not see more than a few inches around us, i hut heard the grass trodden by approaching feet! I Thev proved to be those of an ass, that was turned 'hey prov : - ' at night into the churchyard, and had gone on eating his way towards us; and while we were standing in mute expectation of what was to come next, opened on us with an astoundir.ghec-haw! hee-haw! hee-haw! iven alter we nau oiscovereu tno luaicrous nature cf the interruption, we were too agitated to laugh! The brute was actually close upon us, and had given tongue from under poor Tip's elbow, having approached him from behind as he stood leaning on his spade. Tip started suddenly backward against the animal's head, and fell down. Away sprung the jack-ass, as much confounded as Tip, kicking and scampering like a mad creature among the tombstones, and hee-hawing incessantly, as if a hundred devils had got in it for the purpose of discomfiting us. I felt so much fury, and fear, lest the noise should lead to our discovery, that I could have killed the brute if it had been within my reach, while Tip stammered in an affrighted whisper Och, the baste! Och, the baste! The big black devil of a baste! The murtherous murthering" and a great many epithets of the same sort. We gradually recovered from the agitation which this provoking interruption had occasioned: and Tip, under the promise of two bottles of whiskey as soon as we arrived safe at homo with, cur prize, renewed his exertions, and dug with such energy, that we soon cleared away the remainder of the superincumbent earth, and stood upon the bare lid of the coffin. The grapplers, with ropes attached to them, were then fixed in the sides and extremities, and we were in the act of raising the coffin, when the sound of a human voice accompanied with footsteps, fell on our startled ears. We heard both distinctly, and crouched down close over the brink of the grave, awaiting in breathless suspense a corroboration of our fears. After a pause of five or six minutes, however, finding that the sounds were not renewed, we began to breathe freer, persuaded that our ears must have deceived us. Once more we resumed our work, succeeded in hoisting up the coffin not without a slip, however, which nearly precipitated it down again to the bottom, with all four of us upon it and depositing it on the grave-side. Before proceeding to use our screws, or wrenches, we once more looked and listened; but neither seeing nor hearing any thing, we set to work, and pried clYthe lid in a twinkling, and a transient glimpse of moonlight disclosed to us the shrouded inmate all white and damp. Thus were we engaged when E grasped "Oh, my God! there they are!" and placed his hand upon my arm. He shook like an aspen leaf. I looked towards the quarter where his eyes were directed, and sure enough, saw the figure of a man, if not two, moving stealthily towards us. "Well, we're discovered, that's clear," I whispered as calmly as I could. "We shall be murdered!" groaned E . "Lend me one of the pistols you have with you," said 31 , resolutely. "By , I'll have a shot for my life, however!" "Hush hush!" said I, cocking my pistol, while 31 did the same; for none but myself knew they were unloaded. To add to our consternating, the malignant moon withdrew the small portion of light she had been doling out to us, and sunk beneath a vast cloud, "black as Erebus," but not before wc had caught a glimpse of two more figures moving towards us in an opposite direction. "Surrounded," two of us muttered in the same breath. Wc all rose to our feet, and stood together, not knowing what to do unable in the darkuets to ree one another distinctly. Presently we heard a voice say, "Where are they! where! Sure I saw them! Oh, there they are! Halloa halloa!" Tint that was enough the signal for our flight. Without a:i instant's pause or uttering another syllable, off we sprung like small-shot from a gun's mouth, all of us in different directions, we knew not whither. I heard the report of a gun mercy on me! and pelted away, scarce knowing what I was about, dodging among the graves now coming fullbutt against a plaguy tombstone, then stumbling on the slippery grass whiie some one followed close at my heels panting and puffing, but whether friend or foe, I knew not. At length I stumbled against a large tombstone; and finding it open at the two ends, crept under it, resolved there to abide the issue. At the moment of my ensconsing myself, the sound of the person's footsteps who had followed me, suddenly ceased. I heard a splashing sound, then a kick ing and scrambling, alamt stilled cry of, "Ugh oh ugh!" and all was still. Doubtless it must be one of my companions, who had been wounded. What could I do, however! I did not know in what rli my companions; While 1 was turning these thoughts in my mind, and wondering that all was so quiet, my ear caught the sound cf the splashing of water, apparently at but a yard or two distance, min ITTV. K "1 1 -If X 1 , iuu. wiin urj fcouuus oi u naii-smoinereu human voice "Ugh! ugh! Och, murther! murther! mur ther!" another splash "and isn't it drowned and j am Whew! Tip in trouble," thought I, not daring to speak. Yes it was poor Tip, I afterwards found who had followed at my heels, scampering after me as last as tnght could let him, till his career was unexpectedly ended by his tumbling souse heels over head, into a newly opened grave in his path, with more than a foot of water in it. There the poor fellow remained, after recovering from the first shock of his fall, not daring to utter a word for some time, lest he should be discovered straddling over the water with his toes and elbows stuck into the loose soil on each side, to support him. This was his interesting position, as he subsequently informed me, at the time of uttering the sounds which first attracted my attention. Though not aware of his situation at the time, I was almost choked with laughter as he went on with his soliloquy, somewhat in this strain:

"Och. Tin, ve ould devil! Don't it sarvc yo

right, ye fool! Ye villainous ould ooffin-roblH'r! Won't ve burn for this hereafter ye Finnor! Fllaloo! When ye are dead yourself, may ye be treated like that poor cratur and voursclf alive to fcc it! Och! hubbaboo! hubbaboo! Isn't it sure that I'll be drowned, an' then it's kilt I'll be!"--a loud splash, and a pause for a few moments, as if he was re-ad-justing his footing "Och, an' I'm catching my dith of could! Faint, an' it's devil a drop o' the two bottles o' whiskey I'll ever sec. "Tip, Tip, Tip!" I whispered, in a low tone. There was a dead silence. "Tip, Tip, where nre you! What's the matter, ch!" No answer; but ho miittrrrd in a low tone to himself "Where am I, by my soul! Isn't it dead, and kilt, and drowned, and murdered I am that's all!" "Tip, Tip, Tip!" I repeated a little louder. "Tip, indeed! Fait, ye may call, bad luck to ye whoever ye are but its divel a word I'll be after spaking to ye." "Tip, you simpleton! It's I 3Tr. !" In an instant there was a sound of jumping and splashing, as if surprise had made him slip from his standingagain, and he called out, "Whoo! Whoo! an' is't vou. sweet 3Ir. ! What is the matter wid ye! Are ye kilt! Where are they all! Have they taken ye away, every mother's son on you! he asked eagerly, in a breath. "Why, what are you doing, Tip! Where are you!" "Fait, an' it's being washed I am, in thofect, and in the queerest tub your honor ever saw!" A noise of scuffling, not many yards off, silenced us both in an instant. Presently I distinguished the voice of E , calling out, "Help, 31 !" mv name "Where arc you!" The noise increased, and seemed nearer than before. I crept from my lurking place, and aided at Tip's resurrection, and both of us hurried towards the spot where the sound came from. By the faint moonlight, I could just see the out outlines of two figures violently struggling and grappling together. Before I could come up to them, both fell down, locked in each other's arms, rolling over each other, grasping one another's collars, grasping and panting as if in mortal struggle. The moon suddenly emerged, and who do you think, reader, was "E 's antagonist! Why, the person whose appearance had discomfited and affrighted us all or it coachman. That worthy individual, alarmed at our protracted frtay, had, contrary to our injunctions, left his coach to come and search for us. He it was whom wc had seen stealing towards us; his steps his voice had alarmed us, for he could not sec us distinctly enough to discover whether wc were his fare or not. He was on the point of whispering my name, when wc should all have understood one another when lo! wc all started offin the manner which lias been described; and he himself, not knowing that ho was the reason of it, had taken to his heels, and lied for nisiue: Jie supposed wc nau iaucn niton hurt ui ambuscade. He happened to hide himself behind the tombstone next but one to that which sheltered E . Finding all quiet, he and E- , as if by natural consent, were groping from their hiding-places, when they unexpectedly fell foul of one another each too affrighted to speak and hence the sculHc. After this satisfactory denouncement, we all repaired to the grave's mouth, and found the corpse and coffin precisely as wc had left them. We were not many moments in taking out the body, stripping it, and thrusting it into the sack wc had bro't. Wc then tied the top of the sack, carefully deposited the shroud, &c. in the coffin, re-screwed down the lid fearful impious mockery! and consigned it once more to its resting place. Tip scattering a handful ofg earth on the lid, and exclaiming, reverently "An' may the Lord forgive us for what we have done to ye!" The coachman and I then took the body between us to the coach, leaving 31 , and E , and Tip, to fill up the grave. Our troubles were not ended, however. Truly, it seemed as though Providence was throwing every obstacle in our way. Nothing went right! On reaching the spot where we had left the coach, behold it lay several yards further in the lane, tilted into the ditch for the horses, being hungry, and left to themselves, in their anxiety to graze on the verdant bank of the hedge, had contrived to overturn the vehicle in the ditch and one of the horses was kicking vigorously when wc came up his whole body off the ground, and resting on that of his companion. Wc had considerable difficulty in righting the coach, as the horses were inclined to be obstreperous. We succeeded, however deposited our unholy spoil within, turned the horses heads towards the high-road, and then, after enjoining John to keep his place on the box, I went to sec how my companions were getting on. They had nearly completed their task, and told me that "shovelling in, was surprisingly easier than shovelling out!" Wc took great pains to leave every thing as neat, and as nearly resembling what wc found it, as possible, in order that our visit might not be suspected. Wc then carried each our own tools, and hurried as fast as possible to our coach, for the dim twilight had already stolen a march upon us, devoutly thankful, after so many interruptions, wc had succeeded in effecting our object. It was broad daylight before wc reached town and a wretched coach-company wc looked all wearied and dirty Tip, especially, who snored in the corner as comfortably as if he had been warm in his bed. I heartily resolved, with him, on leaving the coach, that it should be "the devil's own dear self that should tempt me again hody-snatching" 0n examining the body, we found that Sir ' suspicions were fully verified. It was a disease of the heart but of too complicated a nature to be made intelligible to the general reader. A CARD.
