Oh, dearly I loved her, the sweet woodland blossom,
' ' .
So blithsome and joyons, so sparkling and gay,
Whom life was tlm tyj?e of the heart in her bosom.
And that heart free from guile as the lilies of
May,
As purs as the dew-burnished lilies of May.
J
Yoe, dearly I loved, but that lore was unspoken ;
And when, with a sad heart* I bade bur farewell,
Oave one "long, ling'ring look," and a sigh, not
a token
I left her my spirite's devotion to tell,
My spirit's sweet wildering passion to tell.
For 1 knew notif ever the scenes of my birth-spot,
Its >wi>At urAriffi" i/rnviM or its 1 Aiiri>l-lir<lin>il
streams,
Tlie dark green magnolias that shaded the homecot,
Would be seen by the exile excepting in dreams,
By Adversity's banished one, only in dreams.

And in the sweet bliss of that oft-sighed-for meeting.

Each }>aiig of the past in the present was blest
For 1 knew, by the flesh in her dimpled chock

By the quivering smile to her vermeil lips flowing.
And the low-drooping'fnuged veil that shad

"Not yet!" was heard spoken in a loud ^
qtiick tone of voice, succeeded by a repoi t of ?
h pistol, emanating from the bottom of a dark
subterrnueoos vault, hitherto undisturbed by
sound from the commencement of time, ex- ^
cent bv the deen-toned. muieatic. thunder n* i
eu uiueousiy, as uiey passed mo oy?the ,
loud roaring of the cataract's awful full, and }
the deep gathering clouds that shut out the aJ
light of day, all, all kept my heart awaken- "
ed and my mind on terror's rision bent. 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. .
My feelings strangely accorded with the 11
scene now ?urrouudiug me?the winds howh *'
1 1.1J - ? I- .1 . . . w
uspicion now burst into h flame?many 1
lid it was not McClond ; even his relations j
ere of that opinion; and soon I was polite- 1 <
informed it would ho theirpaiuful duty to; i

atided to accompany me to tho Crab Or- I
i?r<l. Soon after our arrival', I found tny- |
If undergoing the formalities of a trial 1*>- ?
re a court of inquiry. The dead Ixxlv was; i
niveyed to the trial its a witness against me, <
id also for interment nt that place. , i
After lite oxparte trial was concluded, and i
10 niagisti ate banded the sheriff a mittimus 1

from uiy seat, manifesting williurrness i 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. Van Dyke j i
tidied, with a placid suiile upon his face :, 1
sir, she is safe, ami you will find her at ;
lr. White's about two miles distant. She 1
there the same innocent, virtuous, iinmacu- j i
to child she was when decoyed from her !
uternal homo by a treacherous villian." ;
hen, turning to the sheriff, he said: "Sir,11
n ready to answer the demands of the law." j,
be formalities of a trial before a court of in - i i
niry were bad, and Van Dyke was commit-; i
d to prison. Time rolled on. Various i i
cro the opinions of tbe tinul result. The! I
jlest lawyers of the duy were employed on j
)th sides. i
The great day. fraught with momentous '?
miequeM to the prisoner, at length ar- i
ved. The court house ami court yard > 1
ere crowded witli an excited audience,
II eves were on the alert to catch one ,
liinpse of the prisoner as he entered the i
>urt house. 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

more than ordinary eloquence, addressed the
Itiry in the defence of Col. Van Dyke. He
Jcuicd the legal positions assumed by the
it torn ey for the prosecution. He contended
:hat the prisoner had not violated the law?
Jnit the act complained of was necessary to
prevent the commission of an atrocious mur*
ler. That instead of shame, degradation
?nd punishment. Van Dyke gloried in the
Jeed, nud felt that he deserved the applause |
uid approbation of the community for tbe j
v-tmuu oi iiiiiucuncv auu vinue iroin MO cm-1
jface of desperation and death. Ho dwelt |
ipou the high and noble inspiration* of love!
?its imperative claims upon all who would j
worship at its pure and holy shirnc. He in-j
listed that the law of nature, which was pariinount
to all humnn law, the sacred statutes
if love and affection, that commanded bin),
,o cherish and preserves its* idol and inspirer,
* as Col. Van Dyke's justification for the J
loath of MeCloud.
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.
You come to see the infliction of a disgraceful
punishment for imputed crime. Hut in
Lite midst of death and in the presence of a

In a moment the manly form of Col. Van

in token of instant action, a ory was heard.
Horses came with lightning speed. A shrill
mid loud voice exclaimed, "Not yet; oh, not

rushed to the platlorui. She bore iu

Governor. She went the grateful messenger

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. This life is but a Penel- j
ope's web, wherein we are always doing and j
undoing; a sea opened to all winds, which I
sometimes within and sometimes without, j
never arouse to torment us; a wearier jour- I
11 ey through extreme heat and colds; over [
high mountains, steope rocks, and theevish ;
deserts; and so we term it, weaving this |
web, in rowing at this oare, in passing this j
miserable way; yes loe, when death comes j
to end our worko; when death stretches out
her arnica and pulls us into the port; when,
after so many dangerous passages, and lothsome
lodgings she would conduct us to our
true homo and resting-plaeo; in stead of rejoycing
at the end of our labor; of taking
oomfoit at the sight of our land; of singing
at the approach of our happy mansion; we [
would faine, who would believe it f retake
our worko in hande; we would again hoist
snile to tho winds, and willinglj' undertake
our journey anew. No more then remember
we our pains : our shiprcck* are forgotten
; wo feare uo more the travailes or the
theeves; contrariwise, we apprehend death j
as ail extreme paiue wo doubt it as a roeko ;
wo Hie it as a tlieiele we do as little children. '
who all the day coinplaine, and when the
medicine id brought them are no longer
sicke; as Lhey who all the wceko long runne
up aud downs the streetos with paine of the
teeth, and seeing the barber conieiug to pull
them out. feel no moro paine. 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. We fcare
that we ought to hope for, and wish tor that
we ought to fear,n
