AS AFPECTI-NG SCENE. Jt is now between two and three years since a young Englishman with. ii!s Bister, a beautiful nnd accomplished pirl of sixteen, arrived in this country. Having business to transact here, and thinking that a change of climate and tea air might he beneficial to her health, he brought her with him, and baring placed her in a beautiful and retired situation, he left her, to attend to his business in some other part of the country. Rut 1 soon learned that this beautiful and interesting female, was the victim of that disease, which, in his desolating marc!), sweeps so many of the young and beautiful into the grave. Consumption had fastened upon her young and delicate frame, and although' for a time it appeared to have been checked, it suddenly reapred w ith all the symptoms of speedy

nnd ranid dissolution. Her brother was immediately sent for, but the let tcr did not reach him until it was too late. I then learned that she had a lover whose anxiety for her health had induced him to leave his country, to follow her here, and that he was now .fiinl!i- nn hi rvicsnrre. hlt situation was now truly distressing; brother absent, lover not yet arrived, a stranger in a strange land, the hand of death upon her, and con scious that it was dealing with her yet never did a murmur escape he lips. I visited her constantly until I thought her too ill to receive me, when I reluctantly discontinued mv visits, till informed she expressed regret at my absence. I immediately called to see her. She was sitting in a chair, her head reclining on the back, with that unnatural but beautiful gloom so peculiar to the disease. Her eye kindled for a moment as 1 entered. This is kind,' said she. I approached and took her hand, the beat of which was already wasted into a ghastly resemblance of a skeleton. This is indeed kind I feci a stranger in your country, but 1 shall soon go home.' 1 could only reply by pressing the hand I held my heart was too full for utterance. kl do not fear death,' she continued, 'for 1 am in the hands of that merciful l'rovidencc which has ever been kind to me; but I feel that I could meet it with more composure, under the roof and amid the friends of my childhood.' 4Tho?e trees,' said she, pointing to some oaks that were waving before the open windows 'those trees are beautiful, but they are not the trees of England of my home; I would now give more to sec the elms that stand belorc my father's door, the garden over which I have so often plated, any thing that belonged to home; even the moss upon its windows than all your lakes, cataracts and mountains.' I cautioned her for speaking so much, fearing it would exhaust her. Oil no,' she replied, 'if ever yc: arc a stronger, dying in a strange land, you will know how delightful it is to think, to speak of home. You may have every attention ef skilful physicians, kind friends, but the heart w ill j cam for the tenderness of a mothers love the look that sooths the pain that medicine cannnot reach that arms the nlfcction of nature against its sufferings. You will then learn how different are the attentions we owe to motives of kindness and duty, from those which the heart otfeis, and the heart receives.' After a pause she continued, 'this dying among strangers is indeed a bard death. If you knew how the heart turns from all attentions they offer to all which they can bestow from the looks of pity, to the looks of love that are faraway, that have watched and wept over our tomb to feel the agony of those who will watch in vain for our return to think how the eye will grow dim, and the cheek pale at the thought that the conflict is indeed over, and the child has fallen, unshielded by the buckler of a mothers love to be denied is death, the kind look of that only love that was unchanged thro' life to feel the tit s of this world draw closer round the heart, at the moment they are to be served forever imagine all this, and you will still have a faint idea of the feelings cf a dting exile.' The next morning t went to visit her. I found her still in her chair, but evidently more weak and exhausted. The bright eye and unnatural bloom were still there, but her countenance was more sunk and hollow: She smiled when ahc saw me enter, and motioned me to her, told me in a voice much nvre feeble than 1 had before known, that 1 had come to bid her farewell; and pointing to the sea which was visible from the window near width the nt, she added in a half plajful mumer. 'I shall soon cmbaik:

I feci that I have saw the sun rise for the j last time, and pleased myself with the thought that it is (he same sun that shines at home: I sit and watch the waters and the breeze, and the clouds that come from cast, as if they could tell me of England, and those I

love. Mt seems hard to our weak nature,' she resumed after a pause, 'to be summoned so earlv to leave this beautiful world, yet 1 regret it more for mv friend than for mvself. I de sire to feel resigned to the dealings of Providence in all my suffering, and trn-t I can say, Not my will, hut thine O Cod be done.' Then giving me a small packet of letters, she added. 4vou will deliver this.' Then drawing me nearer and lowering her voice she continued withsome hesitation.-'There is one to whom my affection are pled ged, to whom my hand should have been given. I fear most for him. 1 dare not know how he will receive the tidings of my death. He is already on his passage to this country, and will soon be here. Promise me not to part with this letter but unto his hands.' 'One thing more,' she ad ded, and showed me a small miniature of her lover. 'It was his first gift,' said she. 'ai.d I promised never to part with it. When 1 am dead lay il on my heart, and let it be buried with me. He will then visit mv grave when lie comes; then tell him I loved him to last. Promise this.' 1 promised. 'It is enough,' said she, 'now place me so that 1 can see the waters he will come from thence tell him that all my last thoughts which were not claimed by Heaven, were on borne and him. : la this situation she expired. I have since remembered my pledge. The portrait of her lover was buried with her. I visited her grave with him, and delivered the message she had dictated. Hut the blow was fatal to one already laboring under feeble health. The canker worm too was in his heart, and the lover now sleeps at the side of his beloved. v. -.no-ix Tc'iiN' the :i:i.dsto.e. When I was a little boy, I remember one cold w inter's day 1 was accosted by a smiling man with an axe on his shoulder. 44 .My ..rctty boy," says lie, "has your father a grindstone?'' '"Yes, sir," said I. "You are a fine little fellow," said he, "will you let me grind my axe on it?" Pleased with the compliment of fine little fellow, 44 O yes, sir," 1 answered, "it is dow n in ti e shop." "And will you my man," said he, tapping me on the head, "get a little hot water?" How could I refuse? I ran and soon brought a kettle full. "How old are you, and w hat is your name?" continued lie, without waiting for a reply; " I am sure you are one of the finest lad that ever 1 have seen will you just turn a few minutes?" Tickled with this flattery, like a little fool I w ent to work, and bitterly did 1 rue the day. it was a new axe, and I toiled and tugged till I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, and 1 could not get away; my hands were blistered, and it was not half giound. Hut it was (inidicd. and the man turned to me, saying, "Now, you little rascal, you've played the truant; scud to school or you'll rue it!" Alas, thought I, it was hard enough to turn the grindstone this cold day; and next to be called a little l.i.-cal, was too much. It sunk deep in my mind, and I have thought of il often since. Win n I have seen a man of doubtful character palling a girl on her cheek, prating her sparkling eve and ruby lip. and gave her a sly squeeze beware my girl,lhougM !, or you'll find to your sorrow, that you have been turning a grind.-toite for a villain. When I see a man Haltering the peo ple, and making great professions of attachment to liberty, who is in private life a tyrant, metbinks, good people, that man would set vou to turning the grindstone. W hen 1 see a man holding a fat of fice, sounding the horn on the borders, calling upon the peojde fo support the man on whom he depends for an nfl'iro thinks 1 to myself, no wonder the man is zealous in this case lie evidently has an axe to grind. SKETCH OF AX OM1 UACHEI.OR. An old bachelor is a thing which nature never intended. He is a creature formed cut of the odds and ends which remained after the great work of creation was concluded; when all the finer materials, were used for the composition of such as were intended for social enjoyment. Hut that he should not be insupportable to himself and the. world, dame nature gave him self love in abundance; a kind of illegitimate understanding; and a judgment so mixed with acidity, that it luins sour every thing within its comt : 'i'l ! t i.i I'lLiictiMuii?. l mis lormeu, ana inus l

nullified the bachelor breathes without '

the possibility of enjoying happiness him-clf, or essentially contributing to the happiness -of others. The principal business of a bachelor is to keep himself quiet. He gets up to lie down, and lies down to get up; no lender, no social impressions enliven his walking hours no agreeable reve ries diversify his dreamy slumbers. 11 a bachelor is ever in love, it is with a favorite dish or the comforts of his wine cellar. His house keeper he can speak to without reserve; and he does so like i tvrant. Of every other woman he stands in awkward or abject awe. Agiint starry eves and rosy checks, tu'by lips and" snowy bosoms against the'eharms of relative enjoyments, and connubial, parental and filial joys he is aloof. A coffee house is his fort, hi tan-lum sanctorum; here he lounges out his useless days, and at night retires to the miserable possession of his pillow. Extraordin ary . While certain per sons in the employ of M;ijor Hute, of Guernsey county, in Ohio, were latelyengaged in quarrying stone for the repair of the National Road, on the hill west of Cambridge, they found, in a petrified state, what is supposed to have been the body of an Indian child, which, perhaps centuries ago, was de posited in that spot. This extraordin ary specimen of ancient remains was found imbedded in a mass of solid rock. and has the appearance of a stone im age, somewhat imperfect in form, yet having the general outlines of human shape. The material of which it i composed appears to be a species of limestone. In the same cavify was also found a small row of what appears to have, been Indian beads matted to gether. G in rnc v 7 Vi n cs. A Trimt.wiiax. There is now liv ing in a country village in Scotland, ; man who has been three times married each of his wives names were the same he hud three children hy each, and each lived with him three years. He was a w idower, between each marriage three years; lias three children living, the third by each wife, and whose birthdays are within three days of each olh-tr-i r- i t i.i er. ills last w ne lias neen dead inrcc years, and expects to be married again in three month! We wish him the luck of having 3 limes 3 children every third year by every wife he has the good fortune of marrying. Scctch pa. Weeds. Evert- farmer should make make it a principle of duty to cradi cate every useless weed, not only from the injury he may sustain, but from re gird to his neighbor and the public. A few seeds from his field may be car ried by the wind into those of his care ful neighbor, and thus eventually ; whole neighborhood become invested. Coxlnpucm.

Hvud Cideu. "Why clear me, Mr. Long-swallow," said a good lady, "how can y ou drink down a whole quart of that dreadful hard cider at a single draught?" As soon as the man could breathe again, he replied, "I beg pardon, madam, but upon my soul it was so hard could not biic it off!"' Ixi)iN Anecdote. A white man sold some powder to an Indian, telling him if - he sowed it in the ground he might raise his own powder. The Indian watched bis ground for a long time w ith great patience, but at length began to suspect that he had been imposed upon. He said nothing, however, but went to the trader, Who had forgotten the trick, and obtained credit for a quantity of goods. When the liaie of payment came, ihe trader re quested tl le money, but ihe Indian with great complaisance, only replied, "Me pay you when my powder grow!" Coxstaxtin'e, when he was chosen emperor, found several Christians in office: and issued an edict reuuirino' them lo renounce their faith or quit their places. Most of them gave up their offices, to preserve their conscien ces but some cringed, and renounced Christianity. When the emperor had thus made full proof of their dispositions and character, he removed all w ho thus basely complied with his supposed wishes, and retained the others; say ing, "that those who would desert or deny their Divine master, would desert himk and were not worthy his confidence." An trislvman lately undertook to prove that clocks Were an Irish invention, "For,", says he, "does not every body say O'clock just in the same way as every body say s O'Connell."
