Af- Si ter a rapid ride of a few hours, 1 fortunately v." reached the beautiful town of K. before the 1, mantle of night fell upon, tuel had no soon- ' er crossed the river and gained admittance iuto a hotel, than I commenced, by intcrrogatories, to?eek for tome elucidation to the 11 melancholy spectacle I had that evening , witnessed. I asked the landlord if there was " any news about town, lie replied there was J1; great excitement pervading all ranks of so- 4 ciety by the sudden disappearance of two 81 young moo,and also of a young lady; all of r"' whom had been raised in the place, lie ? said Mr. McCloud and Mis* Mary Lawscn 0 had crowed tire river for the purjiose of atr I1 tending church, some four or live miles dia- v taut, and in the evening Col. Van Dyke, fol- " j lowed in the same direction, and nothing ^ bad hincc been beard from thein. He said McCloud and Van Dvke were rivals for tlie hand of &fiia Lawson. "McGloud," tie said, "Lb very wealthy*, and consequently, m ia us- ' ual in suck cases, he is the favorite of Mary's r< parents. Yet Col. Van Dyke is the favorite w with the young lady, and knowing the parties as I do, in y apprehensions are of a sen- a' ous character." ,n Before retiring to bed, I related the whole ^ scene I had witnessed to the hotel keeper; M and by the dawn of day next morning some f , fifty >r sixty gentlemen rode up to the ho- j tel and requested me to go with them hack ^ to the mountain. There was one difficulty with me; if the two transactions had not no ,n connection, 1 might become au object of nt n( least suspicion. f0 In four hours' ride wo slighted near the spot, C found the body, but it was so h:nMated and ?t torn to pieces by the wolves as not to leave t! one feature of recognition. I soon found figflHNhe objeot of Suspicion, fc and after many intorrogaviffoh, a 'epot fo of blood was dfocWEed On my fight arm. T Lab. ' JL' ^ f | it pealed its aw Ail anathemas from the thick, heavy clouds, as they covered the mountain's ,(| top. This frightful abode of terror was sit- 't(j unted on Cumberland mountain, near the j road passing through Sparta, the Crab Orchard and to Knoxvilie, Tennessee. Surpria- j ed at what I henrd so unexpected in that ^ hideous wilderness, 1 checked my horse and m listened with intense avidity, to hear once ?j more that horrid dwelling place of mysteries, before 1 could take my leave of this strange < tj, affair; and whilst thus suspended, as it were yj by hope, fear, and agony, 1 Heard, as 1 thouglit, a fcmai* voice exclaim, "thank ^ Heaven, 1 am safe." My curiosity was now r< excited beyond expression. Hearing tirst the voice of a innu, then the loud voico of dentil's jy instrument, and still more, the soul, oniiua- 0J ting voice of a female, all conspired to ex- a] cite my most profound sympathy and great- ^ est astonishment, I could no longer refrain M from dismounting and rushing to the mouth .u of the secluded aperture. After some inin- ^ utes of breathless surprise, looking, through the dark foliages of thick pine leaves, 1 discovered the blecdiug form of a man lying prostrate in the lowest part of the cave, with a pistol in one hand, and a dirk, as if fallen JU from the other, close by bis side. All was T still?<leath and silence reigned triumphant there. After many attempts to discover the ^ parties to this strange ntlair, L ventured still closer to the victim of demon passion, moditating upon the scene now dcraoiistating he- ^ fore me. Where were the actors of this bleedy tragedy ? time seemed insufficient for f their edjwpe.- And could it l>e possiltlo all i that I h'tid heard had resulted from an act of suiciue ? From the rapid succession and ^ incongruities of sounds I thought not. ' The hall had passed through his head. ? Poor man, thought I, you have fallen a vielim to disappointment, disappointed atnbilion, or blasted hopes of earthly felicity, and have retired far from the world's vulgar scru- ^ tiny?hiding in nature's dark recess alike bis ^ person and his bloody deed. Aud if so, 1 . aiu an intruder upon the purposes and designs of the dead. Hut upon & examination of his pistol, I found it to be loaded. I found my conjectures were all wrong, and for the j^j safety.of tuy own person,I hurried away fioin the scene of carnage and death. Many con- ^ jectures pressed themselves during my eve- j j ning's ride, yet all ended in doubt aud un- 'j certainty. A clue to the facts seemed cover- ^ ed in impenetrable darkness. After travel- ^ ling twenty miles through a wild wilderness, i v seeing, anil hearing uci human voice except j ^ the constant reiteration of "uotyet," "thank , . heaven, 1 ant safe," which rang as if spoken ? from the tops,of thy majestic pines covcriug A the cloud-reaching hills in every direction. .

I i obey his commands, submitting myaelf * to the iron fangs of the law without justice ' s the least shadow of a crime, yet without < murmur, there was heard a voice, loud and ! 1 ear, exclaiming ''not, vet," At that mo-, i lent? general shout ensued, proclaiming, i Herb is the colonel." A tall tino-looking j inn, stepped in and said: "Stop, Sheriff, < lis man is guiltless; 1 am the man. 1 killed ] tcCloud." The whole crowd stood for sev- < al moments as if electrified, until that awil silence was disturWd by shrieks from the < Nations, both of McCloud and Van l\vke; o ars flowed in torrents ; cverv heart seejned ! i ill of unrestrained grief. Old Mr. Lawson i une up to the colonel, and asked if he knew i lything of his lost Mary, while his frame j i einbled with fearful emotion.

I lis own voluntary confession i ero read in evidence against him b'y the i rosecuting counsel, and proofs of his vitality < r McOIoud, and other circumstances, were ( itablished. Then Miss Lawson was brought < rward to give testimony. She came, lean- : ig ou her father's arm?her pale, intelligent ; id interesting face was modestly eoncealcd ? y a veil and bonnet. All eyes were fixed < [ion her as an object of pity and extreme < sauty. She came forward, trembling with I msibility and fear, to give evidence against ? 8r benefactor, her preserver, anil idol of her ? tart. The tremor of her voiee and the gen- < c undulations of her bosom evinced theemirrassment of her mind, and the peculiar ulieaoy of her position, and aroused the sytnnlhy of a crowded assembly. Alter a few loinents ofcomposure,she gave the following j ateiucnts of facts: "J. was decoyed off from j I mno, some months since, by Mr. McOIoud.

The attorney for the prosecution respond- j ?d in a strong appeal, reiterating his former i positions assumed in the opening of the case,, fuforcing them by new views and arguments.j He spoke about an hour, when the case was', mbmitted to the jury. For six hours an awful susj>enseof the final result took possession of the assembly. "Hope, fear, and apprehension, swayed each bottom?the jury havfng been that length of time in chwe consolation in their room. At length they cniue to the clerk's table, with slow and solemn steps, handing in a vordict of'Guilty. The stern tind rigid principles of law and the magic influence of McCloud's inexhaustible wealth waved the better feelings of the human heart, it was evident the verdict had been ! wrung from them with much reluctance. On the next morning the judge pronounced the sentence or death iu conformity with j the verdict of the jury : and decided that in ' ten days Coi. Van Dyke should atono for the murder of MeCloud by his public execu [ion upon the gallows. The fatal day soon come, bringing with it i general gloom. Kven the elements above .eetned conscious of the injustice about to be inflicted upon the noble Van Dyke. Dark lowering clouds obscured the sky?thunders pealed thoir solemn notes?the lightning's awful ghtre ami Quick fliisbos struck terror and alarm into the stoutest hearts;and the muffled drum added still another solemnity to tho heart-sickening scene. Thousands ofj spectators ha<J assembled before the hour of axeeution. A platform had been erected, and ilothed in the deep habiliments of mourning ind death; and on this was soon seated the fotl^hfnl condemned felon, surrounded by lonie devoted friends of both sexes. The ofti3er having charge of the solemnities of that Jay arose and commanded silence, in order hat the condemned might *be heard. The solemn silence of that assembly, which then matted, far, far surpassed anything that 1 ev ?r witnessed upon any former occasion. ' It was so solemn, stilt and dead. That yon ini^ht hour the fairie's lighter tread, Tlie spider's stop as he wove his snare From tree to tree, or snails soft creeping there." It was a moment of breathless anxiety, until Van Dyke stepped forward, in lull view of the numerous assembly. His fine form, open sountenance, and dignified self-possession, won universal admiration and sympathy.? ' You are assembled, my friends, said Van Dyke, "on the present occasion, to witness the degradation and death of a fellow.dtiiien.

Sydney, COUNTESS OF PEMBllOKK.'' j , > This lady, who possessed in herself qual- i ideations briirht euouerh to have rendered her I name famous, and to have added dignity j and ornament to the most illustrious Mood, I enjoyed also the proud distinction of being j sister to Sir Philip Sydney, who loved Iter j to idolatry, and delighted to dwell oil her ; merits. She was daughter to Sir Henry Syndoy, the wise and worthy l.>enuty of Ireland, and President of Wales, and Mary, eldest daughter of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, and was born in the year 1550. In 15*70 she hee>me the wife of Henry Herbert, Karl of Pembroke, who had been [ twice Irefore married. She seems to have | regarded with equal indifference the magui- ! ticenee of KlizabctlTs and the intrigues of, James* courts and to have devoynl herself! entirely to the exercise of private virtues, and j the retired enjoyment of literary leisure.? With regard to such characters the alienee | of detraction is sufficient evidence of moral i merit, for in her time the practice of domes-! tic virtues by her sex was too universal to ' challenge particular praise, and it is the con- 1 duct of the worthless, therefore, that has' been chiefly recorrled. She hud received tile learned education wjiieh was then bestowed on women of her rank, but attained to a proficiency v/hich had before been seldom reached by any. She had left the reputation of having been mistress even of the 1 Hebrew tongue, and a translation by her, from the original text, of several <>f the > Psalms is said to remain, in manuscript, in the library ut Wiltou. Possessing, with a powerful mind, much richness and variety of fancy, she fell almost naturally into the practice of poetical composition of which she became passionately fbnd; but her prose, of which few specimens remain, is better than her verse, more ornamental and graceful? metaphorical, and yet more simple and intelligible. The following passage, in which a j fine moral sentiment is clothed in such di- i versity of thought, and delivered with so' much force and elegancy of expression, is | scarcely to be equalled among the works of the host prose writers of her time. "Tt seems to me strange, and a thing much to l>e marvelled, that the laborer, to repose himself, hasteueth as it. were the j course of the sun that the mariner rows with ' all force to Attain the port, and with a joyful crie salutes the descried land; that the traveller is never quiet nor content till he is at the end of his voyiige; anil that we, mean while, tied in this world to u perpetual taske ; tossed with continual tempe.it; tried with a rough and cumbersome way ; ; yet cannot see the end of our labor but with , griefe, nor behold our port but with horror j and trembling.

We fea;o more the cure than the disease ; the surgeon than the paine. We have more sense of the mediciue's bitterness, soon gone, than of a bitter languishing, long continued; more feeling of death, the end of our miseries, than the endless miser in of our life.
