' THE HEIR OF LINN. BY WILLIAM J SHELLING. There is as beautiful a Scotch bnl'ad by is tille, as I ever saw in my life; but it ade a very strong impression on me. As ie ballad by ts not in lie found, I will en;avnr to tell the story in plain prose. a The Laird of Linn, in Galwav, was one n 'the richestslanded proprietors in Scotland. P esides the lands and dwellings, he had 11 >rks and herds and a good store of go'd. r [oreovcr, he was a man of fru?nl and par- s mnninnc dicnneitinn cn tlint Ih,. mnn nl '' alway av >idod his company, and I he conn- | P v side cried shame on him. Nevertheless J s riches grew and increased to a mighlv im. and there was no telling what heaps of ? ensure he had snugly concealed. The Laird of Linn did not marry till late a life, and his wife died within a year alter ^ cir marriage. She left him one child, a Sl m who was the joy and plague of his exis- ' nee. Though naturally of a noble and 'r merous temper, he was wild. reckless and ^ drarogant. Seeing and hearing his father " lieu'ed every day. f ?r his miserly temper ,c id habits, he resolved at all events not to 1,1 ; like him, and spent all he could lay his a mds upon among low and dissolute comtn'ons, in drinking and riotous living. So w ue it is that one extreme often produces e other. It was in vain that Ins father monstrafed with him; he only grew worse i he grew older. a At last the La:rd of Linn lay on his death- v id. He had outlived all his near relatives. ? id he had no friends, so that he was obliged leave all his substance to his son; and be- a :1c, next to his gold, he loved his prodigal nr. Previous to his death, lie called the n eir of Linn to his bciL^ide, and thus spoke him: ' a . M I I- _ I , J . I II "MV son, wncn mv lips are con in r.eatn, id my tongue silent in the grave, I know >w it will he with you. You will spend all " e substance of yo?r ancestors, and all the a >ld I got together in dissipation and cxavagancn. Nevertheless, 1 do not wish my ^ in to live a beggar. Therefore give heed i my only dying command, and if you dis ' gord it, may a father's dying curse cling * i you. You know the upper chamber of Si v house in Kippleringan. It is now lock- s I up and I have thrown the key in the sea. i^hen you have lost both gold and land, i 2 hen you have not a friend who will lend >11 n bawbee, and when you are actually n ifTering for a crust to appease your htm- a :r, break the door open, and you will find 1 certain relief; but if you open the room a eforc the lime, I say again, may a father's n ipse cling to you." s With these words the old "man fell back s nd expired. v The Heir of Linn did not grieve long for a is paratit. ftHe soon after (hicvv open his 1 ouse th all comers. His forest all (ell beCatli Ipie axH( ^lis chimneys were always t -rtoJtiA, a hundred men sat at his board, and 11 e bought him horses and hounds, and lent s loney^vithont counting to his dissolute comanions He feasted, aud drank, and gam- '' Ic i; tfnd as if he could rfet get rid of his sub- * anec last cnohgh in ailthese ^ays betook v o care of his affairs, but gave the guidance | f them to a babff or steward fiamed J.ohn i! f Scales, who was a knave and a notorious r surer. John cheated his m^bter in various ' ays, and put more than half his repfs and 1 loney into his own pocket: ' " At Inst what the Ileir of Linn's father had ireseen came to pass. His money was all f one, and he had no means of keeping tip t is excesses except by selling his lands, but J terc was no one rich enough to buy them c xcepting John of S'-nlcs, and every one new how he came bv his money. The " oung Laird was in a desperate want of cash ? . nfiv his aaminsr debts, and was moreover a eatcd with wine, when this unjust steward ffered to buy his estate. It was a hard n use, but, after much discussion, ho agreed f pon the bargain. r "Give me your gold, good John of Scales, t nd my lands shall be yours, forever," said >e Heir of Linn, 5 Then John counted down the good red I old, and a hard bargain his master had I; lade of it. For every pound that John greed, the land was well worth three. r The last money was like the first, and the f loir of Lmn was a beggar. He first went s > the House that had once been his own, r . v hut now belonged to John of Scales, to seek some relief. He looked into the .window of the great banqueting hall, but there was no feasting going on in it. The fire was out, Ihe dinner table was taken away, and all was desolate and dismal. "Here's sorry cheer," said the Heir of Linn. John would not give him a penny, but old him to goto the friends he had spent his ooney upon foolishly. He did so, but it did io good. Some pretended not to know litn, and not one would lend him a farthing, >r even offer him a dinner. So he wandered about forlorn and hungry for two days, "or work he could not, and bog he was aihamed. At last, in his extreme misery, he >rt bought himself of his father'sdying words. l| have not sold the old house in Kippletrinran vet," said he, "lor no one would buy it. ... It _ I I I. L Win (*<? HIM! lireilK ??puil II1C Uppci l.llcllll>cr. My father told me 1 would find relief here, ami perhaps he meant treasure. If it hotild prove so, | will be a wiser man than was, and not waste it upon knaves." To the house, men, nv w*... ... j rmintTcr Ttnrn- open. He found relief, inleed. There was nothing in the room exeptiiura hi?rh stool, anil directly over if, a mltor dangling from a hook in the ceiling. Ie looked up and read these words. "Ah. graceless wretch and wanton fool! ou arc rurne I forever. This is the only relef for those who waste their patrimony as on have done, lie bold, then?put the hal cr round your nek, jump from the stool, ml save your fiunily the disgrace of ending s a beggar." "Very excellent counsel,"said the Heir of ^nn, "ami as i musi emiei nrfiP" m think I'll lake mv father's advice and hang. O t Is the shorter death of the two." So he mounted, fastened the halter round is neck and kicked the stool from under him. Kut the I !eir of Linn was not to die so.? he hoard into which the hook was driven nve way with his weight and he fell on the lonr with a shower of gold coin rattling bout his ears. I will not say that he felt o patn in his neck the next day, hut at the loinent he certainly felt none. Joy rushed ito his heart like a torrent, at seeing himself escucd from death and beggary. The pare between the ceiling and the roof conlined an enormous treasure. On the uper side of the board from which he Jiad lought to suspend himself was fastened a etter addressed to him. He hastily tore it pen and read as follows ' My dear son, I knew your character, nd no expostulations or advice can wean on from the desperate course you arc purling. Nothing but misery sharper than cath can work the cure on you. If, thcre?re, vnur misfortunes and suffering, should - - ? 1'? .1 ?U it so grievimifl tnaifou preiur uemii i<? teir endurance, you will n-?t rashly encotin:r thorn again. You hive made the trial, ike mv gold, redeem your land, and become wiser an?l better man." The Heir of Lynn did not leave the spot uthout putting up a prayer to Heaven for tc soul of a parent whose admirable wisom had discovered the means ol raising im from Ltaoary and despair to influence, iid weaningliim front the follies and vices Inch * had disgraced his character. To vince his gratitude, he resolved to amend is life from that day forward, and become II a father's heart could wish. Hut first lie thought he would make one tore trial fit the false friends on whom he ad wasted so much time, his substance, nd his character. Ho therefore kept his ewly discovered wealth a secret until lie eard that John of Scales was to give a rent entertainment, and that all the lords nd ladies of Gal way would be there. When the Heir of Lynn entered his it Iter's hall, it was crowded with richly resscd gentry ; but he was lit beggar's rags. ! * appealed to the charily of the company, aying that he was starving. To one he aid, "You have feasted at my board a thouand tiin?jj|^\vill you deny me the crumbs fiat fall'^pR your own?" To another,"I avc you a fair steed and trappings 5" to a liird,"! lent you a thousand pounds and ever asked you to repay me," and so on to II the rest of the company. But instead of emetnbering his favors, they reviled him lid called him a spendthrift beggar, and all rianner of vile names. Some said it was a hamc that such a wretched object should be offered to come among them, and one to vhoin more than all the rest his purse had ilways been open called on the servant to hrust him out of floors. But one man took his part. ]t was maser Richard Lackland, a poor younger son if the wealthy gentleman. He stood up and aid, M I never ate at the board of the llcir if Linn. 1 never rode his horses or shared lis purse; or received favor from him to the nine of a fart. ing. But what then??lie vas a worthy gentleman when he had the noans. 1 have twelve gold nobles, and that * nil ] own in the world, and there are six f them at the service of the man whose land was never shut to the poor. And as am a gentleman, noone shall lay a finger ?n him while 1 wear a sword." A glad man was the Floir of Lynn.^o ind one man worthy to be his friend. He ook the six nobles and advanced towards lohn of Scales who was standing at the end if the hall, attired in gorgeous apparrel. " You, at least," said the Heir of Linn, ought to relieve my necessities, for you have [rown rich upon my ruin, and I gave you i good baignin of mv lands." Then John of Scales began to revile him. ind to declare that he had given much more or the lands than they were worth ; for he lid not like to be reminded of his extortion teforc so much goodly company. M Nay," said he to the Heir of Lynn, " if ou will but return to me one half of what paid for your fathers'* estate, you shall iave it bark again." "Perhaps 1 will find friends who will lend nc the sum,' said the Heir of Linn. Thereore give mo a promise under your hand and eal, and I will see what can be done." John of Scales knew that lew people ol * ' 'Si*' ..-r the country had so much money, ccn if it * were a common thing to lend money to a beggar, and he had just seen what reliance is to be placed on friends in such a case.? He had not the least idea that the Heir of Linn would ever be the owner of one hundredth part of the sum. He therefore called for pen, ink and paper, and sat down before the company and wrote the promise, and right scoffingly gave it to his former master. Then the Heir of Linn strode to the window and opened it, and took a small bugle from his tattered gaberdine, and blew it till the joints and rafters shook with the din,? Presently a fair troop of servants rode up, well armed and mounted, leading a mule with them ladened with treasure. They dismounted, and brought the bags of gold into the hall. ,4Aly father's land is my own again ! cried the Ileirof Linn, joyously, and before the company had tecnverd from their astonishment, he had counted down t" John of Scales J. ' . , * " -agreed to lake. Then turning to his scrvantsnesam : " Scourge tno this viper out of the house of Lynn with dog whips." And it was done. The company then crowded round him congratulating him on receiving his patrimony, arid excusing their own neglect and ingratitude. Buthe said to them: "Caitiffs, slaves, dogs, begone ! Pollute not the floor of my house any longer. If ye enter my grounds again, 1 will have the servants loose the hounds upon you P To maslpp T.arkland hf? said "flnmii to mv armsjeomc to my heart my friend, my brother! live in my home, and share with the Heir of Linn in all things." And the Heir of Linn became another man, and an ornament to his country, and a blessing to his tenants. ? THE CLAY AND TURNER AFFRAY. The Maysvillc (Ky.) Eagle of June 23d ! gives the following, which is the fullest ac. count we have veTseen of the terrible affray ; between Cassius M. Clay and Cyrus Tur- J ner, in Madisoi county, Ky.: 44 We learn the following from a gentle- ] man who wa9 on the ground : There are three Pro-slavery candidates for the Con. vention from Madison, Messrs. Willis, Chenault and Maj. Squire Turner, (father of Cyrus Turner,) and but one emancipation J candidate, Major Burnam. At a regimental muster ai Waldens's, on Thursday of last ' week, the candidates spoke, Willis and Chcnniih lendino Mai Turner followed?nl 5 1 hough he had promised Cassius M. Clay 1 the stand bcfonj him, alleging that Clay 5 was not a candidate and the crowd was fast 1 dispersing?and made a long speech: Clav ' then took the stand, and bore more heavily ^ in his remarks upon Turner that upon either ? of the other candidates and it was now evi- ? dent fo-the first tirqe that there was some un- * pleasant feeding between them. 1 44 On the next day, Friday, another discus- ' sion took place at a regimental muster at ' Fox town. Willis spoke first, Turner next. ( When Turner had spoken about an hour, ( Clav appealed to him to give Mai. Burnam 1 an opportunity of defending the Emancipationists and their views; but Turner refused, \ and spoke half an hour longer, in a severe strain, during which he read Irom the True ' American newspaper a portion of the article : that caused the Lexington mob and the re- 1 inoval of the True American office to Civi. ! cinnati. Clav now appealed to the people 1 to say whether it was fair that this article ] should be read, unless accompanied by the statement so often made to Maj. Turner. ' that the article in question was written by a ' South Carolina planter, (as manv of his 4 friends believed, for I lie express purpose of J breaking down his press,) and sent to his office and printed whi'e he was lying sick of the typhoid fever. The article, he said, was repulsive to his feelings and view as it was to Maj. Turner's or any other man's?and if < he had not been confined to a bed of sickness < it should never have appeared in his paper. 1 Mr. Win. L Nealc, the printer of the True I American, was on the ground, and would < confirm the statement. < "Major Turner continued his speech, nf- I tcr this interruption, and when he concluded, 1 C. M. Clay took the stand for the purpose I ol making a kind of apology to the people ' for the interruption he had caused. lie i again stated that he thought each party i were entitled to be heard, and that he should i be allowed a fair division of the time. That : the friends of right and justice by such a j course had nothing to loose; for if the Cman- i cipationists held incendiary notions, and ad- i vocatcd principles opposed to the best inter, i ests of the country, the people would judge of them correctly and put them down, while if their principles were founded in right and justice, it was certainly not wrong that they should he known, in order that they may be up'ie'd and sup orted. " After making his explanation, which did not occupy more than two minutes, he was leaving the stand, when Major Runyon, a lawyer of Richmond, at a considerable distance oft'plied him with questions, and Clay with the consent ot Chenault who claimed I the slump, endeavored to answer him.? Some misunderstanding occurred in reference to the disposition made of the School Fund, in which Ruynon pronounced a statement made by Clav false and untrue. Clay referred to an act of the Legislature in proof of his assertion, and finally told Runyon, who had interrupted him before, that lie was a mere tftol of Turner, and was obeying his blaster. Clav descended from the stand in perfect good humor, and without expecting a'difficnlty with any one, when Major Turner remarked that 'Runyon was nof his tool.' " Clay replied that whether Turner knew it or not, he was evidently his willing tool. Upon this, Cyrus Turner the son of ihe can. didate, stepped up to Clay, and pronounced his statement a lie, and struck him in the face. Clay was soon stabbed by some one behind him, beat over the head with a stick by Alfred Turner and perhaps others, and a revolving pistol was snapped four times at his hear), bursting a cap each time, by Thos. Turner. He did not draw his knife, nor shake off ihe hold of those who were clinging to him, until he perceived the blood spnuiing forth from his side, and believing from the wound that he must die. With superhuman effort he shook off those who held him, en< countered Cyrus Turner, and stabbed lum. The wound took effect in the lower part of his abdomen, resulting in his death in 34 hours. Cotton Rope.?We have at our office a sample of Cotton Rope, kind y presented to us bv Captain Sensal, of the Spanish bark Celestinn. It was manufactured at Barcelo na in Spain, and Captain S. informs us that he has been for years using cotton rope on board his vessel for various purposes, and in many respects considers it superior to hempen. It works remarkably free, and retains itssofiness and pliability in the coldest weather; and, as an evidence of its durability, he ' stated that his present cotton tiller rope has i been in constant use more than three years, .. k.u .l~ oriirle made of hemp had to be renewed at the ena of every voyageT^-^-^ This rope is manufactured out of refuse cotton, and in Barcelona costs about the same as that made of hemp, in this country we L j?L. ij l. r__. "i _ nave no uuuui u c?>uiu ue mauuiuciureu ai a \ much less costs.?Mercury. i The Annexation of Canada.?A To- ' ronto correspondent of the Rochester Daily Advertiser confesses his positive conviction 1 that a majority of the people of Canada are ' willing to he annexed to the government of 1 the United States. His language, it will be . seen by the following extract, i3 very deci. -I ded: u I believe the time to have arrived when annexation cnmn r>e eiiecieo ir u aepcndea upon the majority of the Canadians. 1 have ( come to this conclusion by mixing with all r classes of society, and by close observation. You cannot enter the house of any well in- c formed man in Canada, and broach the sub- j ject of politics, but annexation is spoken of d as a cure for all our present misfortunes, i and the fact is that unless wejhave annexation we shall have no peace, no prosperity f ar safety in the province." t Present* Strength op the English " *nd French Navies.?From the published ^ ists it appears the French have eight sail of f he line in commission, whilst in the English lect there are 12 sea-going line-of-battle j, .hips. Of the French list of eight, five are p hree-deckers, two of them are ninety gun ships, and one is of 86 guns ; whereas of the n welve sail of the English, only three are M hee deckers, one only is a ninety gun ship, bur are 84's, one is an 80, and mounts 78 a ;nns, and the other two are of the old 72 run class, and moreover two are in the li tome ports with only one-half their full il compliments. The French have eigh' Sl tcavy frigates?one of 60, one of 52, two of h 50, one or46, and three of 40 guns. In " >ur sea going force afloat, we have only jight first and second class frigates.^if which wo only are of 50 guns, two of 42, one of ( 10. and three of J36. The tolal number of ^ :uns carried bv the French frigates 332. j, The total number of guns carried by the ,t| French 1j8 line-of-battle ships and frigates is ? 1214 ; the total number carried by the Brit- p sh line-of battle ships and frigates is 1405, h showing a difference in favor of the latter n if only 190 guns. The aggregate ninbcr a if men preponderate in favor of the French, e The French ships of the line are concentra* * :ed in the Meditcranean; the English ships e if the line in the Mediteranean are only six; " md of the others, one is in the Pacific, [mother in China, and a third is in the a West Indies. 8 ______ v MOTHERS. ? If any thing in life deserves to be consid- a offtfl ito nno? ilia av/inioila hlica nnit nrp. I jmincnt duty of n mother, it i9 this?to watch the dawning disposition and capacity of a favorite child; to discover the earliest buds of thought; to feed with useful truths the inquisitiveness of a young and curious mind; to direct the eves, yet unsullied with the waters of contrition to a bounteous benefactor; to lift the little hand, yet unstained with vice, in prayer to their Father who is in Heaven. But so it is. The child, as it is released from the bondage of the nurse, and needs no longer a careful eye to look alter its steps and guard it from external injury, is often surrendered to its instructors, some of whom are employed to polish the surface of the character, and regulate the motions of the limbs, others to furnish the memory, and accomplish the imagination, while religion gets admission as she can; sometimes in aid of authority, and somelimes in a Saturday's task, or a Sunday's peculiarity, but how rarely as a sentiment. Their little hearts are made to flutter with vanity, encouraged to pant with emulation, persuaded to contract with parsim*-" v, allowed to glow with revenge, or reduced to absolute numdness, by worldlincss and its cares, before they have ever felt a sentiment of devotion, or beat with a pulsation ol sorrow for an offence, or gratitude for a tiepefit, in the presence of God. Believe mo, mothers, you have no right to expect that | sense of religion will be infused by the labors of others. When parents have ceased to be teach- ' crs religion has to be taught. Queer Head Dress.?Lieut. Lynch in ( his expedition to the dead sea, thus describes a queer head dress, which the womorf about Bleyrout wear:?44 The most striking peed- ' liarity of dress we saw, was the tautur or horn worn mostly by the wives of mountain. ' eers. It was from fourteen inches to two ; feet long, three or four inches wide at t${i base, and about one inch at the top. It is made of tin, silver or gold, accordingio the i circumstances of the wearer, and it rs sometime* studded with precions stone*. From the summit depends a veil, which falls upon the braafeaa^ftt.reltawt^t^ Features, I '.-...s- *ii! A It is frequently drawn to leave one eye exposed.
