From the United Slates Gazette. THE OAl OHTEIt. ft was on the evening: of one of those delightful days which distinguished the last of September, of 1032, that I turned my horse from the beaten track, down a lane that lead? towards a email stream which empties into the Schuvkill. In a few minutes 1 had left behind me the clattering of hoofs and the insidious dust that distinguish turnpike riding, and found myself descending into a valley, into which th1 declining sun was pouring his yellow radiance, with a softness and beauty, in delightful harmony with the place. Checking the progress of the horse, 1 paued to survey a scene, which seemed designed to encourage reflection, and sooth a mind irrilated hy disappointment, and poorly sustained by spiritual consolations. There was no building in sight, and yet the rye never rested upon a place more delightfully adapted for quiet retreat and the full enjoyment of those pleasures. which are incompatible with the jostling of a city life; and when the sobered beauty of the place was harmonising my own feelmg, "here,1' I almost involuntarily sighed "ilow blest could I live, and how calm could I die." Proceeding a few steps, I found that others had adopted the same opinion for, turning short around a clump of trees and bushes, I discovered a small cottage; from the chimney f which, was curling a light smoke, a sign of habitation, while the neat garden, and decent display about the building, denoted taste in the inhabitantWhile I was looking at the house, and tasteful arrangements of flowers and vines that distinguished the yard and garden, a little child came to the door and was about to retreat on seeing me, but encouraged by a few kindly words she at length ap proached I alighted, and taking the child in my arms enquired her name a child almost with instinct knows its friend and n kiss which I had pressed upon her sunny forehead was promptly returned to my sallow cheek io token of affectionate con fidence. "Will you walk in?" said the child "moiher will be glad to see you." "And your father, my dear, where i? heP "Father? Father is dead but rnothei and sister are in." Oar conversation brought the sister to

however. A courtesy t me ant) a look of reproof rrt- TObnt she considered the child's bold ness, showed her sense of propriety ! set the child upon tne grounu anu respoaaeu to the salutation ot the young woman. Mv mother, sir, is feeble indeed very sick but I believe she will willingly endeavor to attend to any business which you have to transact; will you allow me to announce your name and business? My name and business are so rarely connected that I hesitated indeed what business had I there? could mere curiosity excuse my breaking in upon the sick chamber of the widowed mother? "J have no business with your family," said I "and my name would be wholly unknown to vou I came into the valley by mere accident, and should feci mortified to find myself chargeable with impertinence." The little child had in the mean time run into the house and returned, and she now seized my hand, and attempted to hurry me along with her. The young woman led the way to a neatly furnished parlor which opened into a small bedroom, at the door of which sat the mother bolstered in an easy chair evidently in the last stage of consumption. j I have, madam, followed, or rather been led by your little daughter into the house I should certainly have hesitated had 1 known that I was to disturb an invalid." I obeyed an inclination of the, lady's head and took a chair and the little child climbed into my lap. Though most of the conversation was directed to the peculiar 6tate of the lady's health and the great change to which she was approaching, 1 yet gathered, that she had left England with her husband and the eldest daughter, some years before a change of circumstances or disappointment in views, had sent her husband to the retreat which she now occupied his taste had decorated the spot and Jits careful attention had cultivated the mind of his eldest daughter who richly repaid him by her devoted attention during a lingering sickness, which terminated his life and who now dedicated all her pow er6 to mitigate the pains and sustain the spirits of her fast wasting mother. 1 noticed for one or two subsequent vi sits to the house, that a cast of melancholy, or rather of chastened grief was visible on the face of Maria, the eldest daughter; and on one occasion, in her absence, I ventured to inquire of the mother whether other causes than the death of her father and the sickness of the mother had so affected Maria. I learned that in bet ter days, a youth had paid his addresses to the girl but when misfortune had driven this family to this retreat, the young man's family had interposed their authority to break off the connexion, and had so far succeeded as to engage him in a voyage that could scarcely occupy less than three years he had evidently yielded to their persuasions, as bis departure was marked with no leave, taking, such as young hearts hold. The father and mother of Maria had done all they could to wean her from the attachment she ceased to mourn and shortly afterwards domestic concerns so engrossed her attention, that but for the tales that little Alice told of restless nights and the tear steeped pillow, the paients would have believ ed that Maria had called back the affections which she had so early pledged. My visits were frequent and indeed, at each departure I felt it necessary to promise an early return, lest I should not again pee the mother alive. It was on the evening of the C9th of April, that alighting from my horse, I for the first time entered the front door without the greeting of a kiss from little Alice I hastened to the bed room, Maria was kneeling on one side of the bed, and Alice was stretched on the other side while the countenance nf the parent gave intimation that death was easing her sufferings. As I entered the last words were breathing from her lips; for herself she had no fears for her dauehters. defence less as they were in the world she had prayed and 6he resigned them now to the care of Him who is the father of the fatherless. The yellow rays of the evening sun were resting on the wall of the room; not a branch moved in the trees around; a holy calm seemed diffused through the little valley, as if the attendant spirit of tne dying saint was awaiting in silence the close of his earthly mission one glance of light passed over her eyes as they turned from her daughters to me and 1 bowed in token of assuming the obligation imposed. A smile that had be gun to play on her lip was lost in the con vulsion of death I attempted no consolationbut pressing the gentle Alice to my heart, I went inquest of some females to dispose into the proprieties of death the limbs of the deceased. On the 2J day from the death of the mother,! attended to aid in her burial a few only of the people from the neighbor hood had come to the house of mourning. The place of sepulture was the extremity of the garden; yet the little proprieties of the occasion were fully observed and the procession of only eight moved from the house to the grave in unbroken silence. When the "nlain coffin was lower ed into the grave, the hoarse rattling- of the earth upon its lid drew from Maria a few groans; and the little Alice wept aloud There was a pause and I found ill eyes turned nn me mv cutomary suit of solemn black, and the ashy paleness which long, unmitigated pain had thrown o my feature?, bad lead the strangers to!

The Largest Journal printed in the United Slates. FOR TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM. IF it most generally occurs that the path of n. public jourBal to popularity and success lies through years of toil and attention, and that the approbation of the public n f slow and precarious growth, and does not in all cases reward, the enterrize of the cultivator, it is chiefly ascribable to the want of that judgment and discrimination so essential to that end. and which seldom fail to obtain a just remuneration. This observation is fully confirmed by the experience which the Proprietors of the Saturday Courier have hitherto enjoyed. Knowing the cauC3 which have impeded the progress, and frequently terminated the very existence of many newspaper journals, they were enabled to avoid them, and in an unusually short period to sou the triumph of their opinions and ex'rtions in an extent of circulation, which, whether regarding numbers or rapidity, is equally flattering.
