WVe were insepjarable--where one wats,I henre the othuer could be found-the secrets ol oie were also the secrets oif both. Our eduaca ilin ait lert was Iini--hied; we hid a List udieu to. Ihe old school .Ihiu- anid its venerable master. ' a id inniuched our hark, freighted with hopuhes :iia joyvs, upon the bui~terous waves of the sea f1 life. Our intione~rv still continued ;our evenings were :ilways s'pent iteech others society, nd rane was mise-rable whlen bereft of the other. )iriing onir of our riambles, fortune (or rat her . misfoirt iie) mtade me a- neunmiited with Mary Art hir. That meeting is forcibly impressed upon my memory, and( time possesses no power to ellhree the recollection. She was onae too fair for earthi, her beauty was of a heavenly eatst, her loiwing tresses, black as the wings of mid-i night, her eyes beaming with fire, yet so modest,. anid meek in t heir exprerssions; tier form. grace-. ful as a fairy spirit; her melodious voice-al tmiiped uploni her the seal of a purer, holier, heavenly birthI. To see her was to love lier, nod as'I viewed her nmany ebarms, her nume rous virtues, my heart was drawn towards lher. ad on its sacred alhnr I ericted an idol, to whom was (llered my life's adoration. There was none who cam'e withina thle circle of her home, but wvhat were drawn insensibly towards her, nd I, witliin the ebiambiers of tr~y own soul, en shrinied her imaige with all the fondness of which my natutre was capable. Night after iighit we were in her presence, Charles and myself, btt jelousy had riot yet enitered my heart. To love her in silence I could not, and so one even ig. potiritng into her car burrning wvords, I tiold her aill ; howv that moy soul was bruind up within her own; how in vain I had attempted to smoth er the feyflammes of passion, which bturned withign maybreast, and how love's fingers had pinvaed tiponl the strinrgs of my heart, anid tiat now' my fate was in her hanids. She listeneud, I took her hiand, she did not, withdraw ii, and thrrowinig huerself upon my neck she went, I was happy-content; she protmised to be mine. Fool, foiol, that I was, to trust the vosof at womani. The daiy was fixed. prepa:rii tions made, and alreandy I looked to the futuireI for dnays of hauppiness and hours of, hss. Charle.' Ryan was my confidant, I told him all, I I tdle -:ndas ..- :ple,,a at the hapniness of I a friend. Ile offi-red congratit ion, lie proposed pleasures, but still that smile, so abiguous inl its neaning, pliyed upon his lips. 01e summer evening-we-ll do I remember it, for it burns within my brain. ns if seared with ten thousand iri.ns-we romnmed inl the old woods by her father's house. Tle evening was beautiful, and as one by one tile :-tars sole out from their peaceful homie inl heaven, we would gaze upon them, and watch them t winkliiig inl their brillianey. Never be'ore hid Mary :ip. peared to My eVes so lOvelV, iad Ha I s:at With my head reposinag upon her breast. I was h:ipy. and thanked God for giving me the love of such an an.el " Mary," said I, " las it never appeared to you that in tle course of time your love might grow cold-" lush-nonsense," said she, " you knmw T love you above all things, .nd never w ill el:mLge inmy atneealion." " God bless you." I murmured, and then I impressed a kiss upon her rosy lips. At that moment there fell from her bosom : small piece of p:iper, and she enagerlv made :an ami attempt to reg.iin it. But I already had seized t, and horrible thotiLibLs took 'posession of yin nind, as I witnessed her anxiety io repossess It. "Give it to ine-fur heaven's sake I" she al nost shrieked. 'aying no atteiition to her entreaties, I opened he note, aiid read -Dear Mary: Yet a little while, and the farce ill end.

As I read this piece of villiny, my brain mured as if touched wiIt living ci.ials of fire. \ind this was from him who hal sworn eternal riend-hip!

Africans At Home, This is the subject of an article in the !nst number of the Southern Qgtrtely Review. of a graphic and inlergs'ting character. The writ er gives a sketch of e moral and social condition of the Iegroes inhabiting the Gold Caast and the iteigh boring countries, compiled from tie terotunts of the earliest Portuguese discoverers, nnd compares then with the recent report of' Mr. John Beecham, -)f the London Weslevian ilision. The result is to show that after Ilhe lapse of nearfour centuries, in spite of all Ihe missionary efforts, zealously and snerificingly put fourth, and their intercourse throughout, this whole period with citilized man, the people fit' Africa still ocCUIpy tle position of he most savage, disgusting and degraded race kiiown to histolry. It will be readily seen that to do such a subject full justice-to lay bare in all their horrid and revolting truth, the habits and man ners of snch people, would require a vo.:abulary itolerant to polite ears. The writer, ais ne think, treated the subject with all the delicay it could well admit of, and concludes his .ketch thus: Scarcely has one of their barbrous inud bloody customs been abaudoied from the earli est period of which any thing is known of them. They s ill pave their court yards, palaces, and even the streets or market places of iheir villa. ges or towns, with the skuills of those butcher in wars, at feasts, funerals, or as sacrifices to Bosuim. Still their wives and slaves are buried alie, with the decensed huhand or tmaster. When Adabanzen died, twro hundred and eightv of his wives were buichered bctore Ihe arriv:il A his successor; which put a stop to ii nilty to increase the flow of blo 'd and the numbe'r of Icamns in other ways. The rema.,iing living wives were buried alive amidst dancing. singing ind bewailing the noike of horns, dru . mus kets, yells, gro:mns and screechings; tlh omen narcbing by headless trunks, bedaubed them-. ielves with earth anid blood. Their victims 6vere marched along with large knives passed i .birough their cheeks. The executioners strug ile for the bloody oflice, while the victims look mI and endure wii apathy. They were tooi 'uamiliar with tile horrid sncrifiee to show terror )r to imagine Ihat all was not as it should be. l'heir hands were first chopped oW, aid t hen heir heads sawced off, to prolong t h atmuilsement. 3ven some who assisted to fill the grave were mu lled in alive to add to the sport or soietimniy C it the scene.

[From the Baltimore A merican.] Terrible Tornado, CriCisNATi, Aug. 28. We learn by a boat just arrived from Louis ville that a destruetive tornado swept over that city yesterday afternoon, accompanied by an awful destruction of life and an immense destruction of property. The congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian Church were at the time of the storm attending service. The wind lifted up the roof, and caused the walls to totile, and amid a scene of fright and confusion fell down into the body of the church carrying with it a portion of the walls. The reports received here state that twenty-fiVe of the congregation were instantly killed and a large numbL r seriously wounded, many of them fatally. SECOND DESPATCH. The Louisville papers of this morning contain full particulars of vesterday's Tornado.. The Democrat describes'it as'one of the most vio lent storms that ever swept over that section of the country. The Third Presbyterian Church, on the cor ner of Eleventh and Walnut streets was com pletely wrecked, and the entire building fell in, inclnding the roof, rafters, and brick wall, crush ing twenty of the congregation to instant death, and wounding severely ten or twenty othirs. The scene was truly heart-rending. Soon a large crowd assembled, :nd began their search for the victims. A mother and her three chil dren were grouped in death. Another scene presented a father, mother andatbe-tho father dead and the mother mortally wounded, while the little child placed beneath them remained un. hurt, being protected by the form of its parents. In other instances, some of the victims were found terribly wounded and maimed. The entastrophe has stricken consternation in to the very heart of the city, and its people are ippalled beyond belief, Fully one hundred buildings in the city were inrooted and otherwise injured. The total loss s estimated at $100,000. The storm was also very severe in Jefferson rille, where four houses were blown down. [,ate from San Juan-Re-Building of Greytown. A correspondent of the Herald, writing from Mnenta Arenas, on the 14th inst, says: All those wvho left Gregtown on the day of he bombardment have returned, and T. J.

They were taken ack to San Juan, and placed under the flag taill' The town, Phmnix-like, is rising from its shes. One month ago to.day there were but hree buildings in the town, whieh were left by rder of Captain Hollins, that the people might lot be destitute of shelter; there are now under he course of erection some twenty-four small rame buildings, and no doubt in a month's time here will be as many more.

Captain Bartlett, from New York eft this port on the 9th instant, for Laguma, 'rum there to New York. Hbos.-The Somersett (Ky.) Democrat of the 9th instant, says: It seems probable, at present, from the ap pearaunces of the corn crop, that hogs will be very iow this flall. We hardly see how it can be T1he Louisville Courier of the 12th inst. says: In the Courier of Thursday wec published a roll table of the assessment of six months of ad hogs last year, and the returns from 93. rounties this year of 284.742 hogs in the above counties, over the entire estimate of last year, and eight or nine counties yet to hear from, which will further increase the excess. The excessive drought which prevails through out the greater p~ortion of Kentucky wvill exert much intinence upon the hog market, nas corn will be both scarce and high, and it is fair to presume that the hogs wilt not come to the books as large and fat as heretofore. In fact, we learn that many persons in the interior have turnied their hogs out, and abandoned all at. tempts to flatten them for slaughter. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-Th~e following is rrnm the Centerville Times: " Under the obitua.. ry head in to-days paper will be found the death of Sir. Jacob Reese. On the day of his death Mr. Reese was engaced in seedling oats, and toward evening was ~stnrtled by a voice appa rently at his elbow, aying, " You may sow but shall not reap," he looked around and'seeing no one, continued his work of seeding, attributing it, as he afterwards state'd, to his imagination. At every step, however, the warning waa repeat. ed, and at last, unable to bear it he proceeded home to his wife, persuaded by liar that it, was. only imagination, and finding that he had no fever, and did not complain of any indisposition. she induced him to return to the field. There, however, the same solemn voice attended hiti. at every step. "You may sow but shall not reap !" and in a' state of extreme agitatiorn, be> again ceased work and went home. He took an early stupper, was shortly after attacked with swelling of the throat, and before sunrise next morn was a corpse.
