MISCELLANEOUS.

A SIXGITLAK CIRCUMSTANCE. ome time duriug theyear 1815, Mr. r:c Lossley, of Georgia, the son of a t rt' mnri of moderate circumstances, ai married to a Miss Mary Lansing, a iaJy of some accomplishments and great beauty. A few months after heir union it became evident that they ould have to gain their support by heir actual labor; and it was certain 'iat in Georgia they could not do more iian to obtain a mere subsistence. It was thought best that Mr. Lossley should travel into some new country, , et a piece of land, make some improvement on it, and then return to carry nut his companion. Mr. L. traveled to the state of Ken nrkv. and was about contracting for .a piece of land in the neighborhood of - w r 1 . -1 1 II .. where the town ot ii. is now ouin. e availed himself of the first opportunity of writins a few lines to his companion This letter never reached the beloved obiect for whom it was intended, but fell into the hands of one with whom Mr. Losslev had been a competitor An answer came not of Mrs. Lossley, but apparently from her father, with he h:id left her durinc his ab sence. "Dear Son: Your wife took sick aVimit a week after vour departure. At urst we did not entertain fears concern vug-her. After some days her brain became affected, and she lost her reason, and while in this situation she called every person who was in attendance on her and-came to see her, 'Henry.' A short time before her death she came to herself, and seemed to have but one desire to live, which was to see you! and her last sentence was, 'oh, my dear Henry! and shall I see him no more in this life!1 and breathed her last." On the reception of this letter Mr. Lossley became almost desperate. His whole amount of earthly goods seemed to be cut off at one 6troke. He made several attempts to answer the letter, but found it impossible to write on such a painful subject. He became a solitary man being in a land of strangers and had no person to whom he could unbosom himself; and though grief is fond of company, yet he had to share his alone. The thought of returning to the place where he had so often beheld the fair face and lovely form of his now lost Mary, without being able to see her, he could not bear; and having left but little behind, save his companion, that was of any consequence to him, he gave up the idea of returning. Neither had he any disposition to settle himself ; and finding that he could sustain his grief better when travelling than in any other way, he joined himself to a company of fur traders, and shaped his course to the Rocky Mountains. He passed nearly two years among the North Western Indians. Thehaidships he endured, the dangers through which he passed, al! had a tendency to call off his mind from former sorrows, and by the lime he had returned to Missou ri, he had in some degree assumed his former cheerfulness. The roll of years t length wore away his grief, and finding at last an object on whom he could place his affections, he again married. From the lime that he left his companion in Georgia, till he married his second wife; it was about five years. But what shall we say about Mrs. Lossley? for. strange to tell, she yet lived! Weeks, months and years passed by, but has brought her no tidings other husband. Post offices were examined, but no letter came. His name was looked for in public prints,but could not be found. Travelers were inquired of,but to no purpose!-Not a word could she hear of him. She at length gave him up as dead, and conceived of his death in many ways. After a lapse of seven long years me ucjidiiure oi ;ir. Loss ly, Mr. Starks offered his hand in mar ;. . . uu, as u was nrmiy Dcneved by herself and friend that he was dead, she accepted At this time Mr. Lossley was living with his second wife .in the elate of ..Hissouri, wnerene continued to live for something like eighteen years. Abou' fourteen years after his marriage his se cond wife died and he wag left with two children, a son and daughter. The daughter was the eldest, and took charge of her father's house but in little wore than three years after the death of her mother, she married and moved to North Alabama, and her father and brother went with her. In the mean time Mrs. Starks had lost her husband and father, and having hut one child, and that m little daughter, he removed to North Alabama also, to live with an aged uncle, who was living in that part of the country; so that Mr. Lossley and Mrs. Starks became neighbors; and they became acquainted with ch other hi Col. I ,ossley (this title he taa obtained whea among the fur Ira-

Starks. "They formed ler

an attachment for each other, and Co lonel Lossley eventually offered his hand in marriage, which she accepted! It is to be observed that during the whole of their intercourse they took great care never to mention any cir cumstance connecting itself with their first tnarriage,and both passed as having been married but once they had both been so very cautious on this sub ject, that the slightest trace of their for mer acquaintance was not discovered until the night before their marriage was to have been solemnized. The night before marriage, as they wcre conversing alone, the Colonel remarked that he expected to be a little 3 ..,1. frightened on the next evening saying, with him, the older the worse: "for, when I married the first time, I was not so much embarrassed as when I married the last!" To which Mis. Starks replied by saying, "you have been married twice, it seems!" The Colonel tried at first to change the subject of the conversation, but soon found that would not do; and knowing it would have to come out, sooner or later, he went into a detail of all the circumstances connected with his first marriage, giving names and dales! This was a subject on which the Colonel was eloquent. At length looking upon his intended bride, he saw that she had ta ken more than usual interest in the relation he had been making. He then broke the silence by saying, "you must forgive me for the kind remembrance I bear for the beloved companion of my youth." While he was uttering this sentence, Mrs. Starks swooned away, and would have fallen from her seal had not the Col. supported her. While she lay in this death-like state, many were the reflections which passed thro' the mind of the Colonel. First, supposing that as he had for a time kept this secret from her, and at last divulged it without intending to do so, it might have a tendency to destroy her confidence in him, or cause her to fear that his affections were so much placed upon the memory of his first wife, that it would be impossible for him to respect her as he ought; these and many oilier thoughts of a like kind, rushed through his mind, and he but awaited the power of utterance on the part of Mrs. Stalks to hear her renounce him forever. But, oh ! how mistaken were his fears ! No sooner had she recovered from her swoon, than she threw his arms around his neck, and resting her head upon his bosom, sobbed like a child, crying out, "Oh! my husband!" The Colonel being much astonished, inquired rather hastily what she meant. With her hands still resting on his shoulders with a countenance beaming with joy and suffused with tears she exclaimed with a half choked utterance, "I am your long lost Mary ! and you are my Henry, whom I mourned as dead these twenty years!" The joy then became mutual. That night and the next day were spent in relating circumstances which transpi red with them during their separation, and admiring the Providence that had brought them together. On the next evening, those invited to the marriage attended. The parson came, but there was no service for him to render. The transported couple informed the assembly that they had been lawfully married upwards of twenty years before, and gave a brief outline of their histo ry, and entered into the hilarity of the evening with a degree of cheerfulness unusual to them. Ga. Sentinel. NATURAL LANGUAGE OF HOUSES. Bolh in the Ukraine and in South America, the horses pursue an orderly system of political government among themselves which cleat ly proves the existence of a natural language, by which they perfectly understand the commands and wishes of their superi ors. A combination ot voice and gest ure, wl liich in fact may be defined to be corporeal expression, is always un derstood by every individual in a troop ot many thousands of these spirited anmals. In South America, the election of a leader is certainly made by the whole body; and when chosen, he is promptly obeyed in all his orders for traveling. In the Ukraine, Dr. Good says that the chief horse in command seems from all the observations of naturalists, to hold his office about four or rive years, when a new election lakes piace, the old general submissively fall...g mio ine ranks, when the polls are opened. Sometimes he is re-elected, it .'"those instances wnere there are rival candidates, and .c ui-ciMon is not satisfactory to the parties, they fight it out, and the conqueror then quietly assumes. the command. There is not a single movement that does not show a degree of sagacity bordering upon that kind of intelligent characteristic of man. A larg number of domestic horses, af-

being a few months together at pas

ture, begin to esiaonsu certain police regulatious; and ultimately, one of them assumes dictatorial power. This, therefore, implies some sort of language; because witnout it, mere woula be constant disorder and vexation; but philosophy as yet, has done nothing towards unravelling the mystery. The same natural language exists among the elephants. The generalissimo of the wild herds shows his power fearlessly, and under his power the company readily submits. What this language consists in whether it be voice alone, gesture alone, or bodily expression, modified by stamping on the ground, win oe aimcult to decide. It is probable that by . " . t I I 1 ft the whole of them the word of com mand is produced. While grazing, de fending themselves against or securing their young, they display something more definite than mere instinct.
