The Fugitive.
It is true, I suspect Moreton, and methinks there is great room for suspicion.
Whence did he come ' Would any
'man, who enjoyed the consciousness of
rectitude, refuse to divulge the place of
lus.natjvity and former residence ? Is not
such a refusal itself a presumption of
guilt r And again, have you not observed
a gloom cantering over his countenance
even while he was in your presence? I
do most firmly believe that that gloom is
occasioned by remorse for some concealed
and criminal action. But could you ser
iously think of marrying a man under such
circumstances? I hope your prudence
itself will prevent such an inconsiderate
step." It will be seen that Maria rea
soned here with some accuracy, and only
a good motive was wanting to make her
conduct exemplary. Her words had the ,
desired effect; Clarissa sat some momr,'s
in silence and dejection: *,.'. 'length she
raised her he.vi, and answered in the fol
lowing words.
"It was always ny intention to demand
some explanation of his mysterious con
duct, and my belief that he would give it.
It was my belief also that his reserve
was occasioned by some painful circum
stance in his former life, but I never sus
pected him of any thing criminal.
When next we meet, however, if he re
fuses to account for his extraordinary be
haviour, he shall see me no more."
Maria commended this resolution, and
soon nfter took leave of Miss Selby.
For the first time in her life, the latter
experienced mental anguish and painful
suspence, which is thought by some to bo
more intolerable than certainty itself.
Maria had scarcely been gone an hour
before Moreton entered the apartment.
He perceived that Clarissa had been
weeping, and tenderly inquired the cause
of her distress. She told him without re
serve, and earnestly requested to know
whether it was in his power to clear up
those suspicions which had arisen con
cerning bis character.
Moreton became agitated in his turn,
"Miss Selby," said he, "I have request
ed you to excuse me on this point ; cart
you imagine no circumstance wherein
such concealments would be desirable?
But tell me who they are who have en
deavoured to fill your mind with distrust,
and I will make them acknowledge their
error."
" The persons who suggested
these suspicions," said Clarissa, "are my
friends, and have been prompted by their
solicitude for my welfare. To conrince
us of our error, yoo must remove the
causes which gave rise to our erroneous
impressions. In short Mr. Moreton, how-

The Wife.
Woman's love, like the rose blossom
ing in the arid desert, spreads its rays
over the barren plain ofthe human heart,
and while all around it is barren and des
olate, it rises more strengthened from
the absence of every other charm. In
no situation does the love of woman ap
pear more beautiful, than in that ofa wife;
parents, brethren, friends, have claim
upon the affections; but the love of a wife
is of a distinct and different nature. A
daughter may yield her life to the preser
vation of a parent, a sister may devote
herself to a suffering brother, but the
feelings which induce her to this conduct
are not such as those which lead the wite
to follow the husband of her choice
through every pain and peril that can be
fall him, to watch over him in danger, to
cheer him in adversity, and even to re
main unalterable at his side in the dep! lis
of ignominy and shame. It is an heroic
devotion which a women displays in her
adherence to tho fortunes of a helpless
husband; when we behold her in domes
tic scenes, a mere passive creature of
enjoyment, an intellectual toy, brighten
ing the family circle with her endear
ments, and prized for the extreme joy
which that presence, and those endearmcants are calculated to impart, we
scarcely credit that the fragile being, who
seems to hold her existence by a thread,
is capable of supporting the extreme of
human suffering; nay, when tbe heart
of man sinks beneath the weight ofagony
that she should maintain her pristine
powers of delight, and by her stores of
comfort and of patience, lead the dis
tracted murrourer to peace and resigna
tion.
Man profits by connection with the
world; but woman never; their consti
tuents of mind are different,the princi
ples of thought and action are moulded
variously, and where the character of
man is dignified and ennobled, that of
woman becomes reduced and degraded.
The one is raised and exalted by min
gled associations, thei purity of the other
is maintained in .seclusion and silence.
Woman was created by the great giver
of all good, as the helpmate of man;

Ijflcy Ellenwood.
With tfipse who have never left the
home oHfiieir childhood, the thousand
graticatifions and enjoyments that apper
tain to, and are associated with this de
lightful spot, are not appreciated. But let an
. exile, like myself, from his paternal man
sion again visit the scenes of his earlier
years he will thtn learn that the bloom of
his happiness was passed away at Jus own
beloved home. For my own part, I have
spent many an hour of my life in com
pany with the merry and the gay, the
learned and the witty, or where the smiles
of beauty delight the heart; but the pleas
ures were momentarythey were unlike
the pure joys that arise in the breast of
one who after a long absence again re
turns to his paternal roof.
I had the ill fortune, at the age of
twenty, to be sent to Philadelphia, as a
clerk for my uncle, living in Chesnutstreet. Many were' the tears shed pre
vious to entering the carriage which was
to covey me from my father's happy
dwelling, to the busy hum of a crowded
city, but the oft-repeated consolations of
my friends, that my uncle would be kind
to me, and the idea that there was a vast
deal of novelty in a city life, did, in some
small measure alleviate my grief. Yet
when the pyting camewhen I took the
last lingering look of the old but noble
mansion, partially seen through the trees
before it, I felt a sensation, the recollec
tion ofwhich will never be effaced till my
dying day. We arrived at Philadelphia
after a pleasant journey of two days. I
found my uncle, as he had been repre
sented, an amiable man, and his family
were all assiduous in their attention to
render me happy. But, for weeks after
my arrival, I would set in the door, (when
my business within would permit) and

Women are greatly deceived when
they think that they recommend them
selves to the other sea by an indifference
to religion. Every man . who knows hu
man nature, connects a religious feeling
with softness and sensibility of heart. At
least we always consider the want of it a
proof of that masculine spirit, which of
all your faults we dislike tho most. Be
sides, men consider your religion as the
best security for that female virtue in
which they are most sensibly interested.
Never indulge yourselves in ridicule
on religious subjects, nor give counte
nance to it in others by seeming diverted
in whafthey say.This, to people of
good understanding willjae^ a sufficient
check.
Let a woman bo decked with all the
embellishments, of art and the gifts of na
tureyet, if boldness is to be read in
her face, it blots all the lines of beauty.
Modesty is not only an ornament, but al
so a guard to virtue. It is a delicate
feeling in the soul, which makes her
shrink and withdraw herself from the ap
pearance of danger. It is an exquisite
sensibility, that warns her to shun tho
approach of every thing hurtful.
A poor pun will sometimes answer a
good purpose. A baker once calling up
on Mr. Justice Jones of Coventry, with
the last loaf in his basket, was observed
as he returned through the court yard to

Adelaide Lavorne.
About fifteen years ago, there lived
upon the banks of the Mohawk, in the
town of Herkimer, a family of the name
ot Lavorne. They had come to seek in
Republican America, that peace and hap
piness, which they had not found in a life
in Pai is; and chance led them to the spot
of which we speak. Theirs was a love
ly situation. The duelling-house, though
low, was neatly and beautifully finished,
and it stood entirely concealed from the
notice of the passer-by, behind a thick
row of tall trees, which, casting their
thick shadows upon it, gave it a lonely,
but pleasent appearance. At a little dis
tance from the house, flowed the Mo
hawk, a pure rippling stream, now and
then sending forth gentle murmurs, from
the action of the still gentler breeze,
and joining its music with that of the birds
which upon its snug bright sunny banks.
In a word,
" Nature in all her loveliness, was there."
The family consisted of Mr. Lavorne
his wife, two sons and a daughter. The
daughter, who was the oldest of the three
children, was then I7 years of age; and
she was, indeed, a beautiful girl. Ac
customed, as she had formerly been, to
the example and society of persons of the
first rank, and having received, nlso, an
excellent education, she was, as might be
expected, an accomplished ycung lady.
She was not, however, as most young la
dies of high birth and exalted ciicumstatices are, bred in ease und idleness, or
kept in ignorance of the relative domes
tic duties, which, as a wife and a mother,
she might be called to sustain. As I have
said, she was singularly beautiful. The
mellow light, whic'.i fell from beneath her
long black eyelashes, the continual smile
I that played so fondly upon her lips, and
Fairy.
The fame of her beauty soon spread
through that and the surrounding villa
ges, and many a favored beau tried in
vain to win the heart of the fair for
eigner. To none did she show more
than ordinary civility and politeness, ex
cept Alfred Dermott. He was a young
man from New York, of accomplished
manners, and a superior education. He
loved Adelaide with all the fervency and
devotedness of first love; he visited her
often, and by his agreeable manners and
intelligent conversation, gained complete
ly the affection and esteem of both parents
Hnd daughter. He resided in Herkimer
through the spring and summer, profes
sedly to regain his health, which had be
come somewhat impaired in the stifled
air of the city of New York. In the
course of the summer, a young man of
the name of Barnard, with whom Dermott had been slightly acquainted in the
city, called upon him. Naturally of a
lively and gay disposition, and having no
professed business from the city, he hesi
tated not to accept the invitation of Permott to spend a day or two with him.
In a short time, they visited Miss La
vorne, and always from each successive
visit, did Barnard return more pleased
than before. One evening, as they en
tered the post office, arm in arm, Bar
nard started back from the door, without
speaking a word, and, leaving his friend,
pursued his way rapidly and ailently to his
lodgings. Dermotl, on reaching home,
enquired the reason of it, but all the ans
wer that Barnard made to his enquiries,
was, that there was a man in the office at
tho time, whom he did not wish to see.
Ke appeared very much agitated, withal,
and Dermott had too much civility to
push the subject farther. As soon as
light the next morning, Barnard took his
leave of Dermott, and immediately left
the village.
With Dermott, matters went smoothly,
he continuing his professions of attach
ment to Adelaide, imd finally, before his
leaving for New York, had gained the
consent of the lovely girl to be bis; but
concluded it best to leave the after part,
until he should return from New York,
the following spring. He made enqui
ries respecting Barnard, on his arrival
there, and found that he had forged a

one trouble himself about his own." Were the
disasters, mischief, misery and broken hearted
ruin which arc engendered by this useless, if
not malicious propensity well weighed, a med

despised for his cruelty, and often hated for his

View every attitude of the existing con
troversy, and it will be seen that in every
case in which wrong has been done to the
interests of the country, the redeeming pow
er was at hand to check the tide of evil at its
rising, and preserve the balance of power and
of opinion in all departments of the com
pact.
No sooner had the U. S. Bank, by striv
ing to elect its own partisan to the presiden
cy, evinced a determination to acquire the
jxMsession of the whole power of the govern
ment, than the people come forward and
defeated its designs, by electing one who
would not fear to do their will, and vindicate
the laws which they had made.
No sooner had the Bank, by an unprece
dented extension of its loans, betrayed a
tremendous scheme of bribery and coercion,
to force or purchase a renewal of its charter,
than it was met by the guardian vigilance of
the executive, and deprived of the means of
carrying out ju designs.
No sooner had the Bank majority in the
Senate set themselves up as above the law
of the land, the guardians of the Executive
and the dictators of the House of Represen
tatives, than they were met by all these, and
confined to their proper limits of' duty, and
made to feel that though they may retard
the operations of the government, they can
not hurry it onward tame and blind to des
truction.
Then where is the danger to be feared
from future innovations? Have the people

AN ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE
DEPOSITS.
On Thursday last a very bold attempt
was made in this city to remove one hun
dred and fifty dollars in bank notes from
the drawer of one of our Exchange bro
kersMr. Reuben Manley, whose office
is at the N. W. Corner of Third and
Chesnut streets.
A genteely dressed
young man, about twenty-five years of
age, who calls himself James Peterson,,
entered the office with the pretended ob
ject of getting half a sovereign changed.
Mr. Manley took the gold piece and
turned front his counter for a moment for
the purpose of getting the silver. The
moment his back was turned Mr. Peter
son, made a sudden rush at the drawer
attached to the counter, opened it in the
twinkling of an eye, thrust his hand in
and seized a bundle of notes to the amount
stated above. He immediately took to
his heels with the evident intention of
giving Mr. Manley no other security
than " leg bail." The broker was not
satisfied it seems, with this mode of ma
king exchanges, and as soon as possible
mounted over the counter and gave chase,
crying at the top of his voice, "stop thief!

the cry bawled out with the voice of a

BOSTON, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1834There is no specimen of human folly more
sr.IC.Vi, or more debssing, than the practice of
slander ; the most odious crimes spring from it
as the fount of wickedness, while the soul it
self is blasted by its influence, with as wither
ing a curse, as that shed from the branches of
the fabled Upas. It is impossible by the force
of law, to put a stop to it : a high sense alone,
bf mora! responsibility, pervading the commu
nity, can effect a thorough reformation Slan
der assumes various forms, has an hundred
eyes for the faults of others, while its own im.
perfections aie veiled under a cloud of palpa
ble obscurity.
A Core for Slander;Take of "good
nature," one Ounce ; of an herb called " stea
dy employment" one ounce. Mix these with a
little charity" and two or three sprigs of " pru
dence.'' Simmer them together in a vessel
called Circumspection, for a short time, and it
will be fit for daily use.
Bunker Hill Celebration.This went
to shew that if the people acted voluntarily in
military affairs, efficient discipline and full ranks
would be the consequence of volunteer or vol
untary corps, and military tactics, in times even
of peace, would become honorableand fashion
able. At the celebration every citizen soldier
was proud of the occasion, his dross, his object
and his discipline. And neighbor Charlestown
were proud of their display, and foreigners
spoke highly of the discipline of our spirited
young citizen soldiers, who would give thou
sands for defence but " not a cent for tribute."
Death of Lafayette.
Intelligence has been received at N.
York, by the packet ship Silas Richards
from London, of the death of Gen. Laj
fayette. He died on the 20th of May at
Paris in the seventy-seventh year of his
age. ' His illness was at first exceeding
ly slight, and no one calculated upon the
lamentable result. He followed the re
mains of Dulong to the grave, and it is
believed that hfi then caught a cold,
which fixing upon his lungs, has caused
his dissolution.
There are many who recollect his gen
et osity in the Revolution wherein we
threw off the chains of England, and
there are none but those . who have a
heart harder than adamant that can read
this obituary without sighing. As a friend
and a patriot the pen wielded by the wri
ter would tell more if necessarybut as
an honest man, broken down by the fa
tigues of public and private life, he was
a martyr.
Interesting Fact. A few years ago, a
very worthy laboring man, in Salem who
had been so unfortunate as to acquire a
habit of drinking spirit, becoming con
vinced of its ruinous tendency, had
strength of mind sufficient to form an
effectual resolution of future abstinence.
At that time he had a woden box made,
with a hole in the lid, and labelled
" RUM," into which he every day drop
ped as much hioney, as he had been in
the habit of spending for liquor. The
box was never opened till very recently,
when on counting the sum, it was found
to no less amount than one hundred and
eighty dollars, with a part of which he
purchased a good house lot, and the re
mainder will go towards putting a neat
and comfortable new house upon it.
Such examples are above all praise.

A True Story,
BT THE AUTHOR .OF " THE STOLEN BOY."
(Continued.)
Our young lady, alone, seemed to
maintain her dignity and reserve, in this
trying moment ; and it was not until a
cry directly over their heads of " all's
well," announced their vicinity to the
watch-house, that she opened her lips.
Then, when the insatiate maw of that
lock-up house, into which so many, and
so various descriptions have been thrust,
from time to time, was opened to receive
them, our heroine stepped lightly forward
and touching the arm of the watchman
with her taper fingers, said in a voice of
unutterable sweetness, but in a tone not
to be mistaken for a voice of supplication,
" will you, sir, who have this night so gen

female emigrants, give me your name

Rose Mac Orne was a rare sample
of Scottish beauty. Her eyes deeply
blue, as Loch Lomond; glowing cheeks
hair -light and glossy, parted over her
broad forehead, like folds of flax coloured

muscular frame, of stately proportions ;
and a firm, elastic, rapid tread, which
she had acquired in early days, when
" Down the rocks she leaped along,"
Like rivulets in May.*'
Her youth was unfortunate; for her
mother had died during her infancy and
her profligate and selfish father had abandoned her before she reached the
dangerous age of I5.
Many were anxious to take Rose into
their service; for she was neat and thrifty
as a brownie, and had the obsequious
manner of her countrymen, united with
their proverbial knowledge of the direct
road to favor and fortune.Her greatest
misfortune was her beauty. Often after
the most uaremitting efforts to please,
poor Rose was accused of a thousand
faults, and dismissed by prudent wives
and mothers, lest she should become too
dear a servant.Scotch discrimination

The Storm.
It was a balmy evening in June, when
au anxious and devoting wife sat before
an open window which overlooked part
of a beautiful bay that formed the harbor
of the see-port in which she resided. Her
eye had never rested on a scene more
lovely. The pure blue sky without a
cloud, and the calm clear water sleeping
beneath it in its lovelines like the babyboy that was pillowed on her own fair
breast.
But it was not the beauty of the scene
tbat made it so attractive to her. Hers
was not the delighted gaze of one whose
feelings are all absorbed in the loveliness
of nature. On the contrary, her anxious
eager eye told that she was not satisfied
with the scene before her, though so fair;
but that she was looking for an object of
greater interest than any that appeared.
But not a speck was to be seen on the
silvery expanse before her, and she turn
ed away with a disappointed and a heartsickening feeling.
Emma had looked forth many times
in the day for several weeks on the same
scene, sometimes fair as now, and some
times deformed by storms, for the ship
which contained her dearest treasure.
.Still the husband and the father came
not, and her thoaghts grew troubled and
her*heart sad, and now tlie tears fell fast
en the dear face of her sleeping infant.
But Emma was a Christian, and the sweet
promise, " Thou wilt keep him in perfeot peace whose mind is staid on Thee,"
came over her spirit so soothingly, and
with a power so divine, that her heart at
once rested on the promise of her Al
mighty Father, and her perturbed and
anxious feelings were hushed to repose.
While she still sat at the window, her
little boy of about ten years ran into the
room exclaiming, "O mother! dear moth
er! father is coming!" What do you
mean, my child?" said Emma, turning
very pale. " Why look, mother! don't
you see that pilot boat! Well the men
on board of her say that the ship Anne
is in the offing, and will be in the harbor
before morning." " O my dear boy,"
said Emma, tears of joy now filling her
eyes, "what gratitude do we owe to our
heavenly Parent! But are you sure, are
you quite sure it was the vessel that con

' I can tell you all that I know,' replied
M'Grawth,' you came here lately in

' Yes, yesI know all that':said she,

that makes existence tolerable is the hope
of seeing a very near and dear friend,
whom I still fear I cannot se,e, and whom

' Pardon me, madam,' said M'Grawth,

well together. You say you hope to see
this friend, and yet that you will be miser

A True Story,

Isabel sunk to the earth and a happy
forgetfulness rendered her insensible to
the horrors that surrounded her. How
long she lay on the ground, in this situa
tion, is not known, but when she recover
ed, she foufld herself lying on a sofa and
surrounded by anxious countenances,
who exchanged a smile of satisfaction
with each other, when she gently unclos
ed her heavy lids and looked wistfully
about her.
* Where am I ? Where is he ? What
is the matter !' she exclaimed.
A middle aged lady who held her head,
and whose plain, neat attire bespoke her
one of the Friends or Quakers, then
beckoned to the rest of trie company to
leave the. room. When all had retired
but the lady, Isabel sat up and looking
around the room, discovered that it was a
very pleasant apartment, well furnished
with books, chiefly of u religious nature,
and such, as appertain principally to the
sect of Quakers. There was a large
book ctilled George Fox's Journal, ano
ther denominated The Rise and Progress
of Quakerism ; also, Willis's Reply to
Hibbard ; Patience Brnyton, Clarkson's
Portraiture of Quakerism &c. She also
saw Cowper's Task and Young's Night
Thotights lying upon the mantle piece.
Then looking in the face of her attend
ant, Isabel saw so much sweetness and
intelligence, that she felt at once at her
ease, and quite at home. The Quaker
lady seemed to know what was passing
in Isabel's mind ; for she said : ' Make
thyself easy, young lady, for thou art
amongst thy friends, and those who know
how to feel for the sufferings of others. '
Isabel then besought the good woman fo
tell her all that had happened. Her
narrative was as follows, that her hus
band was returning from the city in a
chaise, when he saw a considerable dist

barking, &. howling over something which
looked like a human being prostrate on
the ground.
He fastened his horse to a
tree, and ran, to examine into the affair.
When ',lie -came to the *pot he found
Isabel lying upon the ground, perfectly
senseless. Upon examining her atten

alive, and taking her in his arms con

MUNICIPAL COURT.
One Mr. King was brought before
Judge Thatcher, charged with assault
ing and wounding his wife, with intent
to kill. The prisoner is a colored man.
We saw nothing peculiarly ferocious in
-his appearance. The story which he
told was much more plausible than the
declarations of his accusers, although
as the witnesses were under oath, we are
obliged to swallow their tough stories,
though wc burst our windpipe in the at
tempt. The witnesses were mostly fe
males, and it is well known that 'the fair
sex are seldom averse to taking advan
tage of any opportunity to vindicate the
"rights of women," and encourage the
, rebellion of wives against that sex which
God and Nature have proclaimed their
lords and masters. When we saw that
Mr. King was a colored man and a poor
one to boot, wc at once gave him up for
lost. We knew that 'money, the Christ
ian's god,' would not be. jingled in his
behalf, and that all true Christian juries
would convict a man whose color was so
nearly allied to that of their Devil ! It
is now a generally acknowledged fact
that negroes have no souls, and a black
man should never be believed excepting
when his evidence goes to the conviction
of another black man. We would ad
vise that King should be banished to Li
beria, as hanging is Uo good for him.
Poom King was obliged to plead his own
cnusl, which he did with a calm self-pos.
session which innocence alone could give
buf alas ! of what avail is it for an un
lettered African to defend himself before
a white jury ? Had the prisoner been
able to employ counsel, a few rhetorical
figures and nourishes of the hand would
undoubtedly have amelioriated the ver
dict greatly ; but had he been a white
man, he would probably have been ac
quitted ; and in so saying we do not pre
tend that the jury, of whom wc know
nothing, were any other than conscien
tious men who think they have done their
duty but custom and prejudice, like
subtle poisons, may work unseen. It is
not the fault of the jury ; it is the fault
\ of the age.
