THE FORSAKEN TO TUB FALSE ONE, By William ttynes Bayly I dare thee to forget me! go wander where thou wilt, Thy band upon the vessel's helm, or on the sabre's hilt; Away, thouVt free! ocr land and ca, go rush to danger's brink 3ut oh, that cans't not fiy from thought! thy curse will be to think Remember mc! remember all my long enduring love That linknl itself to perfidy; the vulture and the dove! Jlcmomber m thy utmost nced,l never once did shrink, But chmjr to thee confidently; thy curse shall be fa think! Then go! that thought will render thee a dastsml in the tight; That thought, when thou art tempest tObt will nil thee with iiflf iht. In some wild dungeon ma st thou lie, anO counting each cold link That binds ilu e to captivity, thy curse shall be to think. Go, seek the merry banquet hau where younger maidens bloom. The thought of me shit make thee there endure a deeper g!oom; That thought shall turn the festive cup to poison while you drink. And while faUe s.miles are on thy cheek. thy curse will be fa think Forget me! False one, hope it not! When minstrels touch the string, The memory of other days will gall thee while they king; The airs 1 used to love will make thy cow. ard conscience shrink. Ay, evry ujU will have its sting thy cure will be c :mk. Forget me! Xo, that shall not be! I'll haunt thee in thy sloo;: In dreams thou'lt cling to slimy rocks that overhangs the deep; Thou'lt shriek fr aid' mv feeble arm shall hurl thee from the brink. And when thou .-akVt in sild dismay, thy curse w'dl h to thh:k. From the Cincinnati Chronicle. A STORY, With a Morale bring a leaf from the Journal of Absalom Alien. ut will never do, Jcdediah,1 said my uncle Obcd Allen to mv youngest brother "it will never do this flirting with nil the young girls, and trilling with their guileless alfectionsf' My brother Jcdediah was a handsome .Young fellow. He bad a line person, when his Sunday clothes were on a clear, black eye, and red cheeks. He wore a pair of whiskers at eighteen. During his vacations, our village girls were all in a tumult: All wen anxious to have the honor of his attentions and many an eye has closed, -with u tear under its lid, after waiting the whole eening at the w indow, with the expectation of seeing Jcdediah ride up to the horseblock. Hes iw their sly glances at him, as he stood ot a Sunday in the gallery at church, and ltd the choir. He knew that they thought him 'handsome, that he was admired and he was fool enn'h to be ilattcrcd by such things. His vanity grew, at las, to be his ruling passion, and he thought the party tcdivus, w here haL the eyes in the room were not directed towards him. 1 He spent his vacations wholly with (he pr riding with one, walking w ith another, and "setting upM with another. He made declarations in a garland of dowers, ana expressed His adoration to every briglu eye in the village, with a bouquet of the sweetest and freshest nse-buds he could gather. As long as their admiration had the charm of novelty, he w as all devotion but when that was gone, he lie v awav , like a surfeited bee, to some fresher. At tho time uncle Obed addressed him as I have stated, we were sitting at the breakfast table. Jcdediah had just returnid from a walk among the hills, with Isa bel Johnson, one of the sweetest girls of our village. As became into the room, he snant the dew out ot his whikers with Inch glee, and sung out at the top of his voice, "I say, Vosalom, said he, 4thdt Bt ' l Johnson is not to be sneezed at of a damp dav.

All this may be 'strawberries and reanP to such a crazv natc as yours. It may be fine fun to win the heart of such an innocent thing as Bell Johnson, just to throw it aw ay again, like a worthless orange, after vou have squeezed all the juice out. Hut mark mv words, Jcdediah. I have seen more days than yo, andob served somewhat of the ways by w hich Providence brings its righteous ends about. Justice is sure of foot, Jcdediah, though slow mark that. And for every idle word and deed of yours, there will be a dav of account, here or elsew here. It is true, I have seen some precious scoundrels in my day, die quietly in their beds, who deserved to die at the end of the halter. And the preacher says, 'there is one event to all, both tho righteous and the wicked But, observe, my pretty fellow, t never knew a graceless rouge that trilled with a woman's affections, who did not, ever after, find a bitter curse in his cep. Judgment follows hard upon such misdeeds. I believe thcrt is a special woe denounced upon tho wretch and he might as we'l attempt to fly into the reg ions of infinite space, as to trv to escape it. j Leave o!ftliese wicked ways then, Jede - diah, if you would prosper If you would live, to lie down without dreaming of fire and brimstone, or would die without hear-

vour guide, when vou go among the sweet innocent flowers w hom God has raised up here. "Never excite expectations you do not intend to gratifv!" Here uncle Obcd's voice grew husky. He took a long and dep draught from his mug of cider, and then rose from the table and walked out of the room. As he closed the door behind him, Jcdediah drew a long breath, looked at me, ha If mad and hMf ashamed, ami then contemptuously whistled fc A-r-ir.' My foolish brother continue:! to flirt with Isabel, until her whole being was looked up in his. Her friends cautioned her in vain she was blind to the surgestions even of her better judgment. At length, when he had completely triumphed over her gentle heart, he left her, aud sought some other sweet flower to blight as be had done this. Isabel bore his coldness a-whilo with apparent indifference. But tho lustra gradually left her eye, her .checks grew pale and thin, and her line red lips took a death like purple hue. She murmured not against him. She complained to no one. Her friends observed that she rr.ingled more with the pious and less with the gay. It was evident, however, that the machinery of her existence was gradually running down; and every day was expected to bring some storv of her sirknes or death. At length she almost shunned society, and spent her time w hen die weather would permit, in wandering among the hills and the forests. One evening, of a pleasant day which she had spend away from home in this manner, her parents observed that she did no, return at her usual hour. Thov be came alarmed, and rousing a party of j their neighbors, they went in pursuit of her. They traversed the forest and thicket for a long w bile in vain. They shouted her name through tho deep glens, and blew their horns from the top of the hills. But echo alone replied. At length, about mid night, one of the party , on his return, discovered her on the edge of a high ledge of rocks, seated at the foot of an old beach, which hung far over the precipice, lie called on her as siKn as ho discovered her. She returned no answer. Ho thought she might be asleep, and he clam tiered up the rocks to where she sat. He called again and loud- 1 cr, but she answered not. Then he touch cd her shoulder, and gently shook hcr.and hnrk wit i hnrmr? xh ir.rx ,Li1 cold and stitVihough as she sat, she looked more like one enjoying a quiet slumber. Her left arm rested on the trunk of the tree, and the lingers of her right h ind were laid upon the letters of my brothers name cut iuto the smooth bark. It seemed as if she had been trving to trace them in the dark. Doubtless such was the fact, and that her broken spirit had passed away while busied in this strange but natural ctlort. She was buried in the village churchyard the next day, without any parade Bat the j storv ot her lite and death, become one of the traditions of the place, and the stran I ger may hear it told by any oue of the villagers should he chance to ask whose neat white marble monument it is which stands iu the corner of the yard, Villi a strangely quaint device sculptured UTji it. O-ir schoolmaster had been a rejeeteunover of Isabel's, and he procured the artist who executed her monument to carve upon it, an amhlem of his own devising. It consisted simply of her name, in beautiful Gorman capitals; under which, there was a dnwping w hite lily, iu full oioom, around whose stalk, a small adder had coiled himself, his head thrust into the cup of the fijwer, as if he were sucking away the life juice of the lovely plant. This was her only epitaph. No one, who' knew tier story, could be at a loss aj to die design. My brother was absent when she died. When he returned and heard the story cf

her death, he showed some signs of cmo-

tion. t or several days, he kept aloot ! troin society, you could read remorse in j his eye,and at times there was a twitching (of the muscles of his face, as if ho felt i the gnawing of "tho worm which never j die. But it soon swore off, and he became os gay as ever. He mingled with his usual lightness in all the frolics in the village. He smiled as swcctlv as ever upon our bcllcs,vr alas poor human nature, tkey returned them as sweetly as ever. I must confess that I thought sometimes of mv uncle Obcd's warning, and looked lor come dread fulfilment of the deceiver s curse. I felt a foreboding that a judgment would come. It did come. After he graduated, he studied law, ant established himself in an adjoining coun ;ty,iahis profession. He bad fine talents lonuc oar, ana roscrapiuiy in me estimation of the public. Several years rolled away and at the pgo of twenty-nine, he found himself wealthy and with a high reputation. He still remained, however, a reckless and wild in his intercourse with society, mingling in all its gayest circles In the w inter of his 29th year, he caught a dreadful cold, while on a sleigh ride, which made great inroads upon his health and brought on symptom of consumption. His physician told him, that he could not survive the rigors of another new England winter, and recommended a vovaue ; Cuba. I went w ith him as his nurse, and t the following winter we spent in Havana, Here ho rapidly regained his health, and Ins he spoke Spanish as ihicntlv a a Casmanners, soon found him a passport to the lavorot many a black eyed donna. He seemed perfectly happy, while t-aking in the sunshine of their smites. But alas poor fellow, slow footed justice was about to over take him. On some great occasion, the Governor General gave a splendid ball at his place. We were both invited. I was satisfied with looking at the cav scene, but he mingled with all its luxuries. I observed that he wait zed several limes with ihe beautiful wife of a young Spanish officer of high rank. The last time he handed her to u scat, hepluckc moss ross bud from a vase, which stood near him, and .dropped in'o her bosom. Here he stooped and whispered something in her ear, and when she raised her bead, I observed that a deep blush was passing over her face, and a smile of peculiar meaning curling her lips. IIo forgot that the eye of Spanish jealousy knows 44 neither slumber nor sleep.1 Two days afterwards, he was found by the city guard, about day light, on the pavement in front of this Spaniard's house; a broken guitar K ing beside him. and a Spanish dirk sticking in each side, both thrust quite through his heart. I was at no loss to guess whose hands directed the blow. But 1 thought of Bull Johnson and uncle Ohed's warninir. and felt that tho Spaniard was but an instru ment, ruied up by ONE who has said "ven geance is mine!'. The sonic. ;ee was just and I did not murmurIt is more than twenty years since these events occurred. But they are as fresh in my memory, as if they occurred but yesterday; and now whenever I see a "ifted young man, flirting and trifling with the gentle feelings of a lovely girl, a sight too often seen in these degenerate days, I think of Jcdediah, and feel tempted to say to him. in the words of my uncle Obcd, Boware how you excite expectations, you do not mean to gratify UM Absalom allcx, Gent. ministrator's Notice. riCE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that we have taken out letters of adminition upon the estate of Samuel Tomlinson,(latc of Knox county, Ind.) dee'd.

Young Stallion, Vill stand the ensuing season at the subscrilr stable, in Mount Vernon, and accommodate visi tors on the following terms: Ten dollars the single leap, payable at tho tune of ser vice; if the mare should oot prove in foal she can continue the season by paying Secn dollars at her return: rttecn dollars payable before the expiration of the sea son ; Twenty dollars payable trie 2oth day of December next; Twcntv-Ftve dollars to insure a marc m foal, payable as sooa as the tact is ascertained, or the property changed. Pasturage will be furnUhcd and rnares grain fed at seventy five cents per week. Particular care will be taken w itli mares, but no liability for accidents of any kind. The season 'will commence the first of March, and end the first ef July. A note w ill be expected with each marc from a distance. VALIANT was selected from a multitude, in the vicinity of Gallatin, Tennessee, which is emphatically the land of tine horses in the west; he is fiilecn hands three inches high, four years old last spring ; a rich bay, with black legs; his highly finished head and cars, lofty appearance, great strength of shoulders &. body, round hips and tapering thighs, broad hams and tlat bony legs, must be an acquisition to Indiana. As such, he is offered to tho pablic as a breeding stallion. Although his racing fame is not on the w ing uf every breeze, still he his always kept good company, Leing beaten only in two public exhibitions, three mile heats; he then led the Held more than two-thirds the distance, then gave place to a half sister iu one instance, and a cousin in the other. lie was the contending horse on buth occasions, and for both heats, and on ly beaten a few feet iu both cases; he at the same time beating a field of reputed good racers, Stockholders, Timoleons, &c. :c. It will bo perceived by reference to the certificate of pedigree that this young horse has two crosses of col. Elliott's olJ Top Gallant, a son of Gallatin, by the imported Bedford; his dam being by Top Gallant, his grand dam also, which was the dam of Tonson, Richard, Henry and Champion. I would say to all well wishers of this branch of internal improvement, come and see this beautiful young Stallion, if you cannot come, send your mares, and thus prove your theory by practive. J. Y. WELBORN. Mi. Vernon, la. Feb. 13, 1S31. 0-10: We do certify, that VALIANT was got by the noted race horse Sir Richard, he by Pacolet, Pacolet by the imported horse Citizen, he by Pacolet of England, he by Blank, and he by Godolphin Arabian. Citizen's dam Princess, by Turk, he by Regulus, and he by Godolphin Arabian. His grand dam, Fairy Queen, by Young Cade, he by old Cade, and he by the Go dolphin Arabian. His great grand dam, Ruth's Black Eves, by Crab, out of the Warlock Oalloway, by Snake, Ball Galloway, Curwan's Bay Barb. J'acolcfr dam, col. Epp's gray mare, by Tipuoooaio. iane was aiso tne uam ot several tine horses, among them was Palafox, Wilk' Wonder, &c. Pacolets grand dam, by Brimmer, he by the importod horso Valiant, &c. His great gr. dam, by Babraham, his great, great, gr. dam, by the imported horse Jolly Roger. Sir Richard's dam, Madam Tonson, by Top Gallant, he by Gallatin, he by the imported horse Bedford, out of an imported mare by Membrino, Bedford by Dangannon, one of tho best sons of the celebrated English Eclipse. The dam of Top-GalIant by Wild Air, he by Fearnought, he bv Regulus, and he by the Godolphin Arabian? The dam of Wild Air, by Jolly, out of the imported mare Kitty Fisher, &c. &c. Thus it is evident that Sir Richard has descended from the most valuable blood stock, including that of Citizen, Gallatin, Medley, Wild Air, Fearnought, Jolly Roger, Valiant, Old Partner, &c; and goes directly back in all his crosses to the most approved blood in England; particularly to that of the Godolphin Arabian, of which celebrated horse he partakes ol more than a dozen different crosses. Sir Richard's racing fame has never been tarnished by defeat, though he ha3 run many races, and is said by his keeper never to have been put to the top of his speed. VALIANT'S dam was got by col. Elliott's Top Gallant, a son of Gallatin, her dam by Andrew Jackson's old Truxton son of the imported Diomed, her "rand dam by Turk, a sgn of Dr. Barry's liray Medley, her great gr. dam by Reubea Cages's ch. stallion Ilinaldo, a son of Dawson's Mouse Trap, a son of the imported Mouse Trap, her great, great, gr. dam, by Wild Air She was esteemed one of the est mares in the country at that day. The Truxton mare was esteemed of fvqual value to Madam Tonson. The Top Ga!. lant mare wa3 valuable, having produced

many good foals, among them V ALIANT, above described. For Truxtou'd jiedigree, see American Turf Register, vol ll.pwJ59.
