31 ISCIi MiAA RIOIS. j ' - - the bleedim; heart. A dark cloud hung over the Cedar Valley, and a drizzlir.ii mist ha J watered profusely the thick prass around the lov painted cottage that stood hid amcng the trees at ihe foot ef the hill. But the window that looked down the narrow road towards the village, was open, though it was the hour of 1 1 at night, and Marv sat pale and dejected

by it, resting her cheek upon her hand, and looking out upon ihe gloomy sky, and listening with all the deep and anxious expectation of a tender wile, for the approach of her husband. De Lancy had not always kept such hours as this; he w as once fond, atleoionate, attentive (o every want and wish, and as careful of her happiness as; of his own life. When she married him, he was gay am 1 cheerful, rich and virtuous, and she had joined her hand in ids with the bright piospeet of a long life of connubial bliss, (nil befoie her. Hut now this brow wore the aspect of deep and sclth d gloom he seemed to be himself no more; some seeiet disquietude preyed upon his mind, the spiings of which lay concealed from her view. Sometime? !he thought he loved hei no lot ger; but the thought almost broke her heal t, ami she banndied i he hoped for the best; and waited now hi return with all the impatience of wronged but silent, unrc pining alilction. As midnight approached, the streaked lightning began to ll.ish along the woodlands, and at intervals the deep and hollow-toned thunder rolled across the western arch of Heaven; the clouds dropped rain in large quantities, and the quiet of the night yielded to the stormy blackness of a coming tempest. She rose and closed the w indow w ill) a heavy sigh. Ah! that moment a heavy flash, unlike that of lightning-, at the edge of the woods, directly down the road, and a report as of a pistol, alarmed her; she threw open the window againjall was silent then a faint voice seemed crying in the wood; she listened, and she thought she gathered the found of "mi RDtu!" hut the thunder rolled again and again, and the red lightning lladied angrily; and a howling" wind rose up and moaned most dismally along the forest. She fastened down the sash, and threw hcrselt beside her sleeping infants on the bed, clasping them closely to her bosom, while her heart heat most violent! v, nnd her whole frame trembled with terror. A brief space elapsed, and the hurried tread of a horse was heard coming up the road; the gate creaked on its hi iges; she heard De Lancy s voice, 44 wo, wo, Dob, let me get cuf! this is bad business; we. are both crazv ; wo, wo, Dob, you don't smell the blood now; Lord how the lightning flushes; there's blood on my arm yet; wo, wo.' The horse was led away to the stable; she heard the door fhut, and the key turn, and presently De Lancy rapped at the door. She ilew to open it, and her husband entered with a wild and agitated air, pale and besmeared with mire and blood. Iu the name of I Tea von," cried M.ry,"what is this?" "Only a liitle woman; Dob threw me and my nose bled n ltttle.M She feared to interrogate him further, for his rulh'ed and morose humor was forbidding; she pressed him to partake of the supper she had kent ready for him, and endeavored to soothe by kindness and attention the uloomv I : .. I . : - . i r ' . moon in itiiii ii sue louiui mm. lie refused to eat, however, and after silting with his hands clenched some moments on his forehead, rose, took a heavv draught of brandy, and threw himself on the bed. Mary laid down beside him but not to sleep, or if a momentary doze came over her, her w aking C.iuvy pictured to her restless and anxious "mind the feverish dreams of a disordered brain. She rose as the first ulimmerinjr of dav broke upon the green valley, and walked out to the spring to bathe her burning brow in the cool clear waters of the flowing brook. She had been there but a few moments, before two men rode rapidly up the road, and entered the gateway; she hastened to the house and they entered w ith her, enquiring for Mr. De Lancy, ai.d seeming in too much haste to wait even the common forms of civility. De Lancy lay still asleep, and when they rudely roused him and laid their hands upon, he sprang up in a kind of Iipn7y. hat, so soon 'cried he. Vhv who told you I killed him.' Ml is enough' fcaid one of them, 'who asked you to accuse joursew, how came you to know lie was killed! Come w must tonrrl. you.' Do Lancy stood anhasl: in tb, perturbation of the mo.ocnt he had b,. trajed himself; be had been taken unprepared; and as they drew from his pockets the money and watch of the

murdered man, he trembled excessively ab, the devil has done for meat last,' said he, throwing a wishful glance at his two sweet infants as thev lay smiling in their infant slumbers on the bed, locked in each others arms; and then towards his wife, who, in an agony of despair, at this sudden burst of overwhelming misfortune on herself arid children and of ignominy and shame on hint who was as dear to her as her heart's blood, vile and dishonored as he stood before her on that fatal morning, stood pale and fixed as a cold statue by the bed side. 1 huvc ruined you all,' said he. 4 Dut he whom 1 slew, first ruined me ; he w on a 1 .000 of me last night; I killed him; I got my money back, and now nv life is forfeited. Oh, why was I linked with this infernal spirit. Gambling has ruined me, and those whose fortune were bound up in

mine, forever; oh Mary; my poor dear wife; mv poor dear babes. He raved and raved, but thev hurried him away; and hound his manlv arms with a (hie cord, and ltd him between their horses from bis beautiful cottage home. They had not gone far before they heard a distracted voire bihind them; Dc Lancy's wife was following; her hair haniring about her shoulders; her feet iiaie, and her r ( ry feature hetekor iic tlie very horror 'I nt uish. 'Slay y il j 1:0 ? moment ; oh stav ! freak to me (eot oh what will become of us; what will become of your poor v ife and children.' The otl'icers only increased their speed and De Lancy went on with his hands folded, and his brow bent in desperate and silent despair. Poor Mary, after following litem more than two miles, turned and went back, crying loud and bitterly all the way. George's trial and condemnation followed speedily. He plead guilty. Mary went to see him in goal, but he told her at parting, (hat it would break his heart to meet her again. This proved !o he an unnecessary admonition; she had been deserted by all her friends, amid the crush of her morning hopes; lie pined away in her solitary home. uav after dav, and wa at last found dead in the cottage, wish a babe on eacn arm, cany one morning, ny a passer by, who was attracted to the house bv- the crying of the infants. De. Lan i . cy never knew her fate, though he was not executed for nearly a month afterwards. Thus ended the life of a gambler, in utter ruin to himself and fimily, in double, and doubly desolating crime. A TALL I)!' OI.I TIMES. In the year 17C0, Louisville was a collection cf huts huddled closely togeiher, in order to diminish the fre quent attacks of the Indians. There was, on (he opposite side of the Ohio, where New Albany now stands, a small collection of houses defended by a log tort. An understanding existed between the settlers, on both sides of the river, that they should, by "the tiring of a swivel, give notice of the approach of the red men, and on hearing such signal they mutually hound themselves to hurry to each other's assistance. It was a daik and stormy night in the fall of the vear, when the good citizens of Louisville wore roiiM-d from pleasant dreamsand refreshing slumber, by the sharp report of the swivel of the New Albany settlement. Eveiy person was instantly in motion. The nvcr had been I i-ing rapidly fr several days ; huge trees were constantly drifting down, with velocity which ahno.-t rivalled the sweeping rapidity of the Mississippi. It wa with great difficulty that the little flotilla of ll.it boats (rom Louisville stemmed the rapid current of tho river, and effected a landing on the nortiierii hank ot tbe river. 1 lie hardy warriors were much as tonished at the. death-like stillness that reigned through the Fort; they feared much that all was over, and that noth ing would be left for them except ven geaiice lor tbe slaughter of their allies, They cautiously crept forward in In dian file; suddenly a low whisper of tbe leader caused them to halt. A man was dimly discovered approaching in the gloom, lie was a white man: 4 Whole are (he Indians,' said fifty men in a hoarse whisper. 4 Not hereabouts, as 1 know on,' was the reply. 'What the d 1 did you fire the swiv el for then V said the leader of the Lou isville forces. Well now that's oudacious queer! Why we fired for joy, because a child hath been born unto us as the scripture says. It s enough to lire about, 1 reck on seem that it s the hrst white as ev wa3 born on the north side of the Ohio And so you thought it was the Indians ha ha! by it's a matter o' life in stead o' death. Half laughing half grumbling the

good citizens of Louisville re-crossed the river and returned to their beds.

The first white child born on the northern side of the Ohio was a female. We nre furnished with the substance of this anecdote, by an old pioneer, w ho I as killed many a deer on the very spot where the guests of the Union Hal! now sit down to dinner. Louisville Ex.

A schoolmaster hearing one of his scholars read, the boy when he came to the word Honor, pronounced the word full; the master told him it must be spoken without the II, as thus, r.nor: cry well, sir,' replied the lad, '1 will remember for the future.' 'Ave,' said the master, 'always drop tin. H.' The next morning the master's tea, with a hot mufiiu. had been brought to his desk, but the duties of his nvocntio made him wait until it was cold; when speaking to the same boy, he told hi to take the muthn to ihe fire and heat u: ies, Sir, replied tne scholar. and taking it to ti e lire, cat it. Ties ently the master calls for his muihu; M have eat it a vou bid me, sal I the hoy. 4,Kat it you scoundrel? I bid you take it to the lire and heat it."' "Dut sir,'' answered the lad.

LYME AND ANIM AL M.VM'UK TOR WHEAT. Lime has been found by chemical anly sis to compose a vcrv considerable portion of the kernel of w heat. It has dso been found that any considerable ua tityof animal manure, applied to and where wheat is sown, has a tenden cy to cause it to grow rapid, and of course the sap bursts out, and it rots, is we call it; and when this takes the kernel becomes shrivelled, and is renlered nearly useless: and no human means can prevent it, it we enrich our nd largely with animal manure. A rcvious clover crop ploughed in is enough to cause wheat to grow suflicientv large, unless we wish for straw intead of kernel. This cannot always conveniently be had when we wish to ov wheat. In such case it is desirable to place something on the soil which will ausc it to grow, and not surfeit it. We learn that in Great Rritain, nothing has succeeded so well as lime. The 'armors th'To, w t thin fifteen yearn, have y this process procured 38 or 40 per cent, more ol tbe golden crop than for me 1 1 v. jtliinic runner. Tamp. Ri.k.s. That bees may be so tamed as riot to hurt persons to whom they aie an u-tomed, 1 have, by many in-lame-, heard exemplified, but most remaikahlv in tbe following account : A gentb man re-iding at Perry St. Ed mund", comM do with impunity any thing he liked with his bees; he knew every one of them; could distinguish teh beo liom 111 fellow, as a shepherd is said to individualize his sheep by tin physiognomy ofea h; and, if he warded to show a particular bee to a" friend he would have the hive to which il belonged turned out into a i loth, roll the in sects about with his hand--, like so many pea, arm unnarmeti, select liom them . il tbe one required! This feat he has of. ten been seen to perform. IhitMSTO.vE kou Cattle. It is nroh ably known to many of our farmers that brimstone is valuable for cattle in keep. o iuem nee n om iioks. i nese ver min are not only filthy in their appear ence but an injury to the cattle. A piece of brimstone as large as a grain oi corn, well pulverized, given in a lit tie salt, will cause them to drop off and prevent others from getting on for eight or ten days. 1 consider brimstone as necessary for a cow in summer as salt. oulhern. danter.

Law Decision. In an action brought

by an editor of a daily paper in this city the principle has been established, that persons continuing to receive a periodical, without paying up arrearages and "living notice to the editor of a wish for its discontinuance, are liable for the price of the same so long as it is sent. This is accordance with common honesty, as w ell as common law. There are those, w ho at first make the small price of .a periodical an excuse for delaying navment. and then, after rcceivinr it for veurs, make the largeness of the a mount an argument with conscience for delaying payment aKom'thor.
