V Mary'? Bee. BY JAMES NACK. As Mary, with her lip qt rosee, . Was tripping o'er tho flowery mead, A foolish littlo bco supposes The rosy lip, a roso indeed; ' , And so, astonished at thc bliss, Ho steals tho hbney of her kies.1 Ho wantons thero a moment lightly He sports away on careless wings But, ah, why swells that wound unsightly? * The rascal! ho has loft a sting. She runs to mo with weoping eyos Sweot images of April skies. m J|Be this," said I, "to heedless misses, A warning they should bear in mind; For oft a lover steals their kisses, . Then flies and leaves a sting behind." "This may bo wisdom, to be sure," Said Mary; "but I want a cure." i What could I do to caso tho swelling? My lips and hors dolighted meet; And, trust mo, from that lovely dwelling I found tho very poison sweet. Fond bovl unconscious of its smart, I 8Uckc(?^io poison to my heart! THE m$0N ANO NEGRO* About tho end of tho last century, I was called out of Inverncsshiro to attend a meeting of the General As1 senibly of the Church of Scotland, in Edinburgh; nud having beeu but newly placed over my charge, my circumstances wero but as yot so limited that, upon making tho neces? sary preparations for tho journey to Edinburgh, I could muster no moro than ono poor solitary half-crown in cash tc meet my traveling expenses a sum totally iuadequato to pay any, or but a small part, of my means of conveyance. Tho call bciug hurried, I had no timo to writo to auy of my brethren for tho needful funds, and not caring to ask this of any of my parishioners, but expecting . that, ?when I came to Ediuburg, I would get such assistauco as I required, from SODIO of my brethren, or some friends whom I kuew, I resolved tc set out on foot, husbanding my pre? cious half-crown in such a way as would afford mo tho necessary vic? tuals, without having recourse tc bogging . during tho journey. Re ceiving tho letter of convention ir tho afternoon, I resolved to start nex' morning, thero being only five day! before tho meeting of tho Assembly. In the dim dawu, accordingly, I wai on my way; nud after pushing on fo: an hour or two, and entering tin high road for Inverness to tho South I descried, somo distance ahead o me, a man on horseback, leading ii his hand another horse. Having como up with tho rider, who wai going forward at an easy paco, ! begau to bo afraid, and tremblet when I saw that the man was quit black. You must remember I was i young mau and a Highlander, an< though I had heard of tho black mai of the Indies, yet, considering tb ur*" ?able hour, and, as I hat r - ^earu ot any black man eve having been eeeu iu that neighbor hood before except the dovil, win was believed to assume that appeal ance, I was not without some doubt of this strange apparition, and io some timo I narrowly watched th man and his movements. Havinj ventured to accost him, I perceive ho was eagor for conversation, whic was carried on while I kept cautiousl to tho other side of tho road. A length, having told him I was goin tb Edinburgh, tho black man replie that ho was bound thitherward alse and offered mo tho hcrso that ho lee This, as my misgivings regarding th personality of tho black horsema had beguu to givo way, I was glad i accept, inwardly thanking Provident, for having thus favored me with sue good fortune.. It turned out that the black mn was tho servant or slave of a ric Jamaica planter, who was ut thi time homo on a visit to Highton friends, and that tho spare horso wi for tho master, who had gone forwai a day iu nilvanco of the horseman, I enjoy a walk through tho Highland My good fortune was not then qnil so great as I had at first calculate but fyet I was very glad. Tho di was spent'very pleasantly, tho bia? man raising my astonishment by co versing freely iu Giolje, which, appeared, was well known in tl West Indies; while I myself, takii an advantage of tho occasion, ni anding tho man was willing to lear as he was also ignorant of religio spent tho most of the day's journ in unfolding to him. the truth of t divine record, until I came to regn my ucw friend, whom, from his wi and swarthy looks, I nt first look upon with dread und abhorrence, wi a brotherly affection, founded n only on our common relationship the first, but also to the second A,da; When the night was coming dow and we had entered the bleak li country, we left tho main road a struck up through the hills, expect] to find some human habitatic where, for the saleo of the horsi wo might spend tho time; but, afl pursuing our errand for some tin without anything appearing tu ni< our desire, and our ronto having ) come very fatiguing and dungeroi the ground being everywhere brok and puddled, and often covered tho thick and iutergrowing heath wc came to a halt, and having other resort, set about making p parations for spending thc night tho open nir. Willing to mako c moro effort for the sake of tho ben? I proposed ascending to tho top o high hill that appeared to tho Sou ward, and leaving tho black with 1 horses. I reached tho summit of 1 hill in about half an hour, and v delighted to catch in my eye tho c faint glimmering of the light of a habitation* and? iUvingTiiiaxkedi tke pobitiojn of, tho dight, r at on??ire tr?c?d niy stepa abwli th ti hui. \ve now remounted; and after a little moro fatigue and a low escapades, arising aa mucji from our ignorance ol the ground as^from ita real $i?? ciUty, we Mrive'd nt tho place to which tho light directed us.' This turned out to be a bohanart, or shepherd's shielding, rather larger than tho or diuary dimensions, and looking by no menus uncomfortable, and having secured and provided for tho horses for tho night in an ouclosure back of tho shielding, wo entered the bonan, where wo fouud i\ blazing fire, but no human being. However, ns wo were now in need thereof, wo set about preparing our evening menl, trusting to tho well-known hospitality of tho shepherds, that tho liberty wo were taking would not bo taken amiss. After our repast, being greatly fa? tigued, we grew heavy aud inclined to go to sleep, and observing a bed, obscured by some drapery, in tho fur? ther coruor of tho hut, we set about examining it, and, finding it quite comfortable, wo both stripped us ol our clothes, drew everything iusidt the curtains, and lay down to sleep. We had fallen asleep but shortly, when wo were awakened by a lout and confused noise outside tho hut which wo soon recognized to bo tin voices of a number of men. Stamp ing aud swearing, they rushed in seized hold of a small tablo at tin foot of the bed, and placing it iu tin middlo of the floor, they began emp tying out great sums'of money upoi it, which, or the parting thereof, ap pearcd to form thc matter of thei dispute. As it now sufficiently np penrod to me ami my friend that thea ruffians wero no oilier thau highwa; robbers, aud that it was iu their chief bed wo wero now lying, and wo wer drivei?, to tho extremity of despair not kuo"wiug what to do. As soon n discovered, we could expect nothini at tho hands of these bloody and law less mcu but certain death, iu on form or another; if wc dared move we wero discovered; aud if wo rt maiued as wo were, thero was- hard! a chauce that we should eveutuall escape observation. Being almos afraid to breathe, aud nearly stup?fie with the squabbling aud swenriug t the ruffians, I at length, in tho coi rogo of despair, whispered in tho sr of tho black man these words: "My dear friend, God is ahvav good, and helps ns in our time < need; have faith, and do this-seeiti that Gpd has giveu you a skin diffe ing so much from the peoplo of th country, you will seizo my stick, an rise up naked in your black skin, tb first time they mention the name t tho devil, and rushing up to then cry out: 'What, in my name, is tin yo? <1r>'' " Then, waiting his opportunity which was not loug in .coming, tl black mau, spriugin.c; from tho fob of the curtains, aud rolling up li eyes aud showing his great paw roared out in Gaelic the words I ga' him. This lucky idea brought tl desired result. The black no soon appeared iu his Satanic charact thau tho villains scampered away lil BO many seared sheep. After a fervent ' 'Praise be to God wo began dressing as quickly as pc sible for our departure; "for," sn I, "though we aro perhaps safer he now than wo can bo anywhere eh tho villains being so superstitio that they will, not venture with some miles of tho place before da light, yet, with tho first break of do they will bc sure to return to s after their money; aud if theu iou: iu tho neighborhood, we shall faro indeed." We next gathered up a: secured the money, for tho purpc of having it restored. to those w might claim it. Much of it \t paper, and it omouuted to a gr< Bilm; aud I wondered how such amouut of money could have coi within reach of robbers iu that pi of the country. Wo equipped 01 selves, moreover, with two of i lanterns which tho robbers lind 1 behind iu their fright, aud havi got out the horses, wo were ready start. Tho black then proposed burn tho hut, and, suiting tho acti to tho word, he thrust a barning p iuto tho wall, and flared a wisp burning straw over the roof, and soou had a blaze, which, the bli said, would let us seo how to set t on our way, as it had guided us on The night was very dark, there be no moon, and the sky overcast w clouds, and we hud.no sign to gn us but the wind on our checks, were not, indeed, without apprch sion that we might full in with so one of thc seared bandits, but black said he was prepared to m them all again. We continued < nocturnal march for many hoi without sight or sound of anyth to realizo our apprehensions, i held, as well as wo could reckon, < South until we got into a moro o] part of tho country. We then pected that wo should soon cit reach tho high road or some hun habitation, and wero beginning assure ourselves that we lind now clear of tho enemy, whim both horses gave a loud snort, pulled br and snuffing air, were eager to phi away in n new direction. Wo stopped, and called for any to answer us. Theu, ?cceiving reply, we dismounted, and resol to know what was befcro us; and black saying ho was the fittest ma: moot anybody, took his lantern went to search. Ho had not fai go, when ho stumbled on a wi figure lying bn the ground, and bring? ing his lint??n?pvor f?r he a?vr it was aman stiripj?i?of every thin? bulb's under-clothing; and laying nis hand upon his body, he found the man was dead, and looking nt the fac.o, ho saw it was his master. The black then raised a howl of anguish, and threw himself on his knoes, and began beating .his breast and crying and nobbing ivs if his heart was strug? gling to burst, and it was long beforo I could draw his attention to hear that I was speaking, and to answer my quostione, put for the hundredth time. At last tho matter was explain? ed, and tho black coming to guard tho frightened horses, I went to look at the body, au?i making a minuto examination, stupefied the poor black by crying out that I believed his master was not dead. Tho poor slave so far forgot Iii m soli that ho let thc horses go, and ran up to his mas? ter to be assured that he was not really dead. "If wc only had brandy or whiskey," ??-id I> "I think ho would revive." Then the black, nay ing ho had brandy at his saddles, ran away again in pursuit of tho horses, calling himself by no flattering names for his stupidity in letting thc horsos go, and almost immediately came np the high, road, from which it appeared wo had been but a little way off when wo stopped. . Ho then listened, and catching a sound of tho horses' hoofSj ho bounded off in tho direction indicated, and soon found tho? poor animals, which -'were too fatigued to run far, lazily moving along and biting tho grass by the road-side. He Avas soon back again to my assistance; and leaving tho horses on tho road with their bridles tied toother, he came with a flask of brandy. I had hy this time ascertained, by tho aid of tho lantern, that thc black's master had received a severe blow on the head and a,kuifc wound iu thc neck, which appeared to have bled profusely, but that ho was still alive, though ho was unconscious. Wo lost no timo in* administering the brandy, and before half an hour, we had tho satisfaction of seeing the wounded man so far recovered as to be ablo to speak. Wo then dressed and bound his wounds, and divesting ourselves of part of our own gar? ments, clothed him, and laid him upon tho heather. Hero he remained until day began to dawn, when thc wouuded mnn, appearing so far re? stored as- to bo ablo to bear lifting, wo placed liim upon ono of tho horses; and tho black man walking by his side supporting him, wo jour? neyed slowly onward until near thc middle of tho day, when we carno in sight of a fai'm-house, towards which wo at onc2 made, and wcro most hos? pitably received. Our sad plight was sorely bewailed, the wounded man put in a comfortable bcd, and had all tho caro and kindness shown him that could bo given in tho circum? stances, while I was myself also i? ; doced to rest where I was for the day. Thc poor gentleman told his story as follows: "Ho had loitered longer on the way than he had at first in? tended, and having arrived about midnight, the first night, at a publie house some twenty miles North of tho place where we then were; ho spent the night there, and also part of thc next day, amusing himself by getting the stories and information of thc place. Ho loitered on tho road the second day as ho did on tho first, so that ho did not reach the placo where ho was found till some hours after dark, though ho calculated to have reached that distance by sunset, and | tho next public house two or th reo hours after. On reaching thc place alluded to, he was surprised by a number of men springing upon him from tho road-side, and demanding his purse or his life. He happened, and, as it turned out, very foolishly, to Lave a largo quantity of money upon him; and not wishing to risk .tho loss of such a sum in this way, ho first remonstrated with tho men on .the wickedness of their design, and then o fie rod them five pounds apiece. This appeared to satisfy them, and he was allowed to pass on. Ho had not gone very far, however, when apparently, after a second con? sultation, the men were after him again, and coming np to him, thej said they wished to know his name, and immediately ho felt a blow on j his head, and he remembered no j more." After thus hearing the wounded man's narration, I produced thc money found in tho bohnnnri, and rehearsed our own story, and was de? lighted in thus being guided by Pro? vidence to restore the lost property ! to its rightful owner. ! Next morning, 1 started for tho South upon tho planter's stied, and i attended by one of .tho farm servants to bring tho horses back. Tho black remained to attend to his master, who, having some knowledge of sur? gery, was ablo to prescribe for him? self until his further recovery should enablo him to proceed on his journey. On my way back to Edinburg, after tho meeting of the Assembly, I called at the farm-house to inquire for my friends, but found that they had gone a few days beforo. There was, how? ever, a letter for me, and a packet, which, on hoing opened, was found j to contain nil the money that tho black and I had* recovered from the robbers. SARDINES! SARDINES!!

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT' tho great American Alterative and Blood Puri? fier, is tho most perfect vogotablo com Sound of ?Iteratives? tonics, diuretics and iaphorcties; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. In introduciug this new and extraordi? nary medicino to tho public, observation leans us to remark that too little attcution is paid to tho "life of all flesh," tho blood. Manv diseases, and, too. many complaints, whichhavc their origin in a vitiated state of tho blood, aro treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if thc rcmcdv had been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both cause aneVelTect would have bren removed. Tho Queen's Delight is offered to tho afllicteel a? a sure remedy for thoso diseases arising from au impuro condition of tho blood. It has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders thc blood puro. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins 'to live thai ho begins to die, and that tho charaetorisfics of the living organism aro ceaseless chango and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is* pure, in supplying the wasto tis? sues with material, it must be tho cause ol innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, Ho patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. . Lifo andhoalth is only to be maintained hy tho circulation of pun arterial blood. Wo therefore advise everv ono whose hl?od is ha tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im paired by discaso and is suffering fron Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consnmp tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles Boils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erf si polas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness o tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tin Bo?les, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilid ii Sores, Indigestion,'inflammation of tin Bladder and Kidneys, Pains iu tho .Back General Debility, and for all complaint arising from deficiency and poverty o blood, to uso the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer ing from weakness and depression ot min in consequence of thoso complaints wilie! nature} imposes at tho period of change have a pleasant anet sure remedy in th Queen's Delight. Children whoso fair and ruddy complci ion gave carly promiso of health an beaut j-, hut too ?OOH become blanched an palo by nomo hereditary taint of the blooe will have tho rich boon restored by usin tho Queen's Delight.
