T the left, stretching away from the banks of tiw lake was a (iark bog, over which, nclose-tan I gled masses, growr the ra: oaswidevoonl.

The iden ily of the kniife wats prov'ed at the starting. Piil Katnaugh swore that he met Baigrooni com ig fromh the bog a short time belbure he came acr'oS Cone~y, but he thought nothing of' it at tte lime, nor hand it occurred to him since. In less titan half tan hour the word "GUIILTY3 sotnded upon the ears of the villain. " It is a lie ! Curse ye all !"' he yelled, andi in a nmonient, when he caught the chance, lie sprang towards Mary. ie did not reach her, however, for Phil Ka naugh pushted forward his foot and tripped him up. Bagrooni was at full speed, and when he was thrown ftrm his feet, fell with a fearful impetus, and his neck struck the sharp edge of an oaken bunch, An instant he remained with h:s head looping over upon the seat, and then his body rolled upon the floor. There were two or three long struggles-a crimson stream started forth from his mouth, and he was no more! The fall had broken his neck! His fair victim escaped him. " Go] did I Iat !" cried Mary. "God did it!" cried they all. Mary Carroll held the order for Coney Drake's release in her hand. She rushed wildly to the jail, and an hundred young men and old follow ed her. "Fr-o! free!" she cried, as she fell upon her lover's bosom. " Corney, dear Corney, you are free!" The jailor came and knocked.off the shackles from the young man's feet and hands, but be fore he could gain time to speak his cell was tilled with men. They caught him in their arms and bore him to the street, where they placed him in a carriage they had dragged from: the Sheriff's stable, and heating the heroic Mary by his side, they proceeded to the fair girl's cot tage. Ere many weeks had passed away, there was r weddin, .and Curney and Mary were the hap py couple. 1ow vue Dcvrr. Losv.---The followin it .i. too good tobe lost.

THE DRAM. Whilst there have been many opposers of the Drama-men too who have stood, -and stand high in the world, and whose opinions have been htuded down on the subject; there is equally as powerful authority in its favour; authority which must' and will command re spect and attention. Mtar..ns Aurelius, an emperor, distinguished for his piety, says: "Tragedies were firat brought in and institutedi to p!t men in mind of worldly chances and casualities. After the tragedy, the Comedia Ve us, or ancient comedy, was brgught in which had the liberty to inveigh against personal vices." Martin Luther, on the subject of the .tage, says: " In ancient times the dramatic artL has been honored by being iade subservient to re ligion and morality; and in the most enli<en ed country of antiqlity, in Greece, the theatre as supported by tbe State. The dramatic na ture of the dialogues of Pluto has always been justly celebrated, and from them we may cou ceive the great charm of dramatic poetry. Ac tion is the true enjoyment of life, nay, of life itself. The great bulk of mankind are either from their situation or their incapacity for un common efforts, confined within a narrow circle of operations; of all amusement, therefore, thI theatre is the most profitable; for there we see important actions when we cannot act impor tantly otrselves. It affords us a renovated pic ture of life, a compendium of whatever is ani mated and interesting in human existence. The susceptible youth opens his heart to every ele vated feeling; the philosopher finds a subject for the deepe -t reflections on the-. nature and constitution of man.". In another work, Luther says: "Christians ought not altogether to fly and abstain from Comedies, because now and then gro~zs tricks and iallying passages are acted therein; for then it will follow that by reason thereof we should also ab.itain from reading the Bible. Therefore, it is of no value that some allege' su'ch and the like things, and forbid christians to read or act comedies." We might, if we had time and space, intro duce numerous paragraphs from the writings of such men as Philip Melancthon, Rev. Dr. Knox, Lord Bacon, Dr. Philip Sidney, Dr. Gregory, Sir Joshua Reynolds, DIsracli, Dr. Isaac Watts, Archbishop Tillotson, Potter Porteous, Percy, Warburton, South, Watson, Paley, Ridley, Young, with hundreds of others in defence of the Drama. The testimony of such men-men of character and tone, is such as must speak in its favor. The Drama "has been supported from the earliest-periods, and for a long series of years, lias met with jthe protection and encouragement of government. Wi uld this have been the case if there had have been within it the seeds of evil? If it had been found injurious to the well being of communities? assuredly not. The DrapIa has met with sulort And fayor from christian'inistersan en., Profes dranfas. Apollenaris wrote scriptural tragedies and comedies, together with Dr. Edward Young, author of Night Thoughts, Rev. C. Maturin, Rev. Dr. Coly, Rev. II. Milhnan, author of the Li.:ory of Christianity, Addison, Dr. Johnson, Milton, Coleridge, Thomnrson, Goldsnith, Miss Iamah l Moore, Mis Joanna Ilaille, Miss Mit lard, with numbers of other.s, whomN we might introduce, as noted for their pious qualities-as their great gifts. As to the character, position and standing of actors. erroneous impressions exist; some may be inclined to tliiiik that they stand outside the pne of society. But this is fllse. It is with thei as with mecmbers of every other profes ;on. Those whose ability, conduct and talent enitles them to respect, are always esteemed. The profession of an actor was highly estein1 I amniong the Greeks. Eschylus held command at Mairathon, under Miltiades. IHe was an actor a111 author. Sophocles held command under t he reat Pericles. Euripides; was a distinguish ed oieer. Roa::cius was the intimate friend of Cicer.. Laeliusi was the friend of Scipio Afri eavm-: Ini modern timoes, Mrs. Chive, Garrick, Cii.ber, Nemle.

M~or,.Assr:.s vno JImIAN Cons.-Mr. George S. Kintzi, of' Exeter townmshipl, Berks county, Penn,., called at the otice~ of the itending Gazette a day or two ago wi th two sampie of syrup or molasses, onel mlatde from the comuan Indttian corn and the other fromr the Chinese sugar cane. The first, it is statetd, was of the colour and consistene~ of the~ best molamsse's, and had a p!rrasanut swee~t lla vor. Mr. Kinmtzi tr'ied but a small experimnit in making this svrup. He took eight earn stalks, cut off' at the~ ~root and at the car, crushed them in a cider mill, anud pressed thme juice out with hi-; hand~s. A quart of sap wams thus obtained, whch, aller hailing thirty minutes, yielded one pint of beautiful syrup. The Chinese sugar cane was subjectedl to thme samc process, and yielded about the same quantity of syrup, but not so thievk nor ofl so fine a flavor as that made from the coumondian corn. Tu'mi :~hx wuto BIIors -ut TEi.EGR.Wic CA r:.::.--The letter of' Prof'esor Morse, which we publ~ishedt, gives a peCrfectly clear and understand able explanation of the cause of' the breaking of the Atlautic: T1elagr'aph cable, and fixes thme blame ot' the disaster where it probably belongs. Mr. Iright, the lheadi enmgiacner, who had the laying of the c'able under his sole direc'tioni, ai~pears to have been the culpr'it. IHe had put thme blame upon "a mlchiei," bmut P'rofessor Morso says that he ordered one of his subordinates to aipply the brakes, the " mnechanic" hesitated, Mr. Bright "enuerously" gave a certificate exonerating all: persons on board the ship from any blame for the disaster. Another very important fact stated by Profe~ssor Morse, is that the cable was running out but very little faster than the rate at which the ship was going.
