THE HEART'S GUEST.
BY MRS, ORNFE,
When sge has cast its shadows
O'er life's dechning way,
When evening twilight lTnhon
Round our declining day,
Then shall we set md‘rondor
On the dim and shadowy past,
In the heart's silent chamber,
The guesis will gather fast,
Guests that in youth we cherished
Shall come to us once more,
And we ghall hold ecommunion
As in the davs beflove,
They may be dark and sombre,
Tney may be bright and fair,
But the heart will have itschamber,
The guests wilf gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters,
Who shali be our heans' guest ?
How shall it be my brothers,
When life's shadow on us rests?
Shall we not 'mid the silence
Hear voices sweet and low,
Speuk the old familiar language,
The words ol long ago?
Shall we not see gdear faces,
Sweet smiling as of old,
"Till the mists of that lone chamber
Are sunset clonds of gold?
When age has east its aiudown
O'er life's declining way,
And evening twilight gathers
Round our retinng day ?

THE ESCAPE OF THE DESERTER.
The strip of ground from Broadway to Cen
tre street, along Chambers, commencing at
the new store of Stewart, in Broadway, sev
eoty years ago was a burial place. The part
uearest the latter street was devoted to the
negroes for the last resting spot of their dead,
and the moiety extending to Centre street was
a kind of Potter's Field, and during the Rev
olution the spot where mostof the private sol
diers of the British army who died in the city
were intered. Gallows Hill (the spot where
the Mauhattan Reservoir is now placed) was
decorated with a gallows, where all deserters
and prisoners suffered death, who ¢ame un
der the control of the infamous Provost Mar
shal, Cunningham.
[t was customary to execute most of the de
serters who were native born, at night.—
There was a policy in this. ’ublic execu
tions of the Americans by the Royalists would
have been noised abroad, and theinjury creat
ed thercby, through the manner in which the
continentals themselves would have made
use of it, must have resulted to the injury of
the king's cause. These executions gener
ally took place after midnight. The prison
ers condemoed to death were always confin
ed in the old juil, within musket shot of the
place of execution, and a sergeant's guard of
eight men, accompanied by the Provosi Mar
shal and his deputy, generally condacted the
prisoncr to the gallows.
- It was near twelve o'clock of a night in Oc
tober, in the year 1780, that a young man
was reclining at full length among the recent
dug graves that raised their mounds in the vi
cinity of the gibbet on Gallows Hill. The
hour and the place were singular for a lone
individual like the oue in question, to be re
posing. 1 say lone, yet he was not exactly
80, if buman bodies divested of their immor
tality can be considered companions; for
nearly above his head, swaying to and fro in
the night breeze, hung the remains of two
soldiers of the sth regiment, who had been
executed that morning, for desertion.
The sky was obscured by dark and murky
clouds, and the meaning of the wind as it
swept around the gallows and through the
trees that here and there reared their brauch
es amid the darkness of the night, gave a des
olate and disagreeable sound, well befitting
the place itsell. The man scarcely moved,
with the exception now and then of rawing his
head and peering cautiously above the mound
of earth behind which he lay, towards the jail
dimly visible with its high massive walls in
the hyeld beyound.
At length a light ghmmered, the tread of
men was laintly heard, and the young man,
raising himsell from the spot where he lay,
glided along the rude fence which skirted the
barial ground until he stood within a few feet
of the execution place. Here he paused,
and looked ia the direction of the approaching
light. Faintly through the haze appeared
three or four files of soldiers, preceded by a
black man, who ecarried a lantern—the only
light which seemed to be in the party. Then
walked a prisoner, with his arms tightly bound
behind him, and directly after, Cunningham,
the Provost Marshal and five or six soldiers
with muskets on their shoulders.
*“Oue, two, three,” repeated the young
man to himself, as i’ counting the number of
men approaching ; *“iwelve in all. 'lis a
desperate undertaking ; but my comrade shall
not die if I can save him. Now (or skill and
courage. Be cool, Dick Martin! You have
been cool on still more perilous occasions, if
Your commanding officers speak the truth.”
He glided back again towards his old rest
ing place, when he stumbled into 2 new dug
grave that he had not noticed before, just in
the rear of the gallows. His first impulse
was to leap out, for the depth of the grave
did not exceed three feet, but asecond thought
altered his determination, and he murmured—
“This is the best place for me : they cer
tainly will not think of looking for a living
man in the grave,”—and he stretched himsclf
at full length in the “narrow house” that
he knew oue day or another that he should
have 1o fill. In the meantime on came the
party with their prisoner. T'hey enter:d the
burial ground and proceeded directly to the
gallows, under which they halted. Forming
a circle, the black fellow with the lantern,
Cunningham, and the prisoner in the centre,
preparations were made to go through with
the awful ceremony—that of depriviug a fel
low being of life,
The biack fellow looked up at the gallows,
from which the two bodies were hanging and
then proceeded very deliberately to cut them
down, observing—
“Dese chaps hab hung long a'nuff. I
guess dey an't much better than dead niggers
now.”
The prisoner looked on with a glance of no
common interest, for he felt that his soull'
fluttering on the confines of eternity. s
useless 10 talk of bravery when a man in the
full vigor of health beholds preparations mak
ing to deprive him of existence. True, he
m? meet death with manliness and fortitude.
and display to no bnman eye any of the phy
sical shrinkings by which we are apt to meas
ure the outward counqe of man ; but within
there is a fnlin} that the great Creator alone
perceives, and He judges whether or no the
man is prepared to die.
The negro had passed a rope through the
beamn where but a few moments before hung
the inanimate clods that now encumbered, as
it were, the ground under the gallaws. This
done, he said—
“Dar, Massa Cunningham, is a rope that
will hold the prisoner long a'nuff, 1 reckon.
Guinea Sambo no stop abroad a man o' war
for nuffin’ I guess. I lurn 10 reeve dat knot
wid a hitch dat de debbi) couldn't break."”
As he finished this classical speech he very
deliberately kicked the body of one of the
dead soldiers aside, and rolled (he other very
coolly into the grave where lay (he young
maa: and the dead rested upon the living |
A shudder ran through the frame of (he
gfl as he felt, pressing above him, the cold
orm ol one who the day before had been as
full of life 28 he now was, but not a sound
escaped him, for he knew that silence was his
“Well, rascal, you sce what you are com
ing to for deserting from his majesty's seivice.
A halter, T suppose, is more agreeable than
good treatment and a soldier's pay.”
Thus spoke Cunningham to the prisoner.
“1 entered into the refugee corps for my
own reasons. These have proved satisfactory,”
said the prisoner, looking at Cunningham,
with a bold countenunce.
“Yes, infervally sul:ufalctu?'. you rebel
spawn of damnation! A spy, I s'pose? De
Lancey's Refugees wounld be a preny set it
they were all like you, rogue. No, no; I
had my eye on you when you enlisted, a
month ago, and [ told De Lancey what 1 be
lieved you was. Not a royul refugee, but a
rebel scoundrel. 1 was right, rogue, ¢h?
“Yes, you was right as 10 my culisting.
As to being a rebel scoundrel, why there is an
offset—you are a royal knave and a blood
thirsty villain., Al the information 1 wanted
to send to the great Washington he has got
before this, so hang away! But I should like
five minutes' communication with my God
first, i you have the manliness to grant it."
Astonished as Cunningham was by the
boldness of the man's speech, he knew full
well that he himself’ was detested by the Eng
lish soldiery for his tyranny, and that a refu
sal of such a request to a man on the point of
execution would only make him still more
odious among them.” With an ill grace, he
1=
“Pray, raseal, pray ! I don't wonder that a
knave like you fears death. A man that be
trays his king, betrays his God; and it is full
time that you try to make peace with him.
Three minutes,rascal—three minutes ! That's
all the time you have from me. Go on your
knees at once then. Sambo, have the halier
readv. Three minutes, only.”
T'he negro had placed the lantern upon the
ground directly under the gallows. ru faint
higit gleamed upward, showing in dim out
line, the gallows frame, and partially lighting
the faces and furms of the soldiers grouped,
with their muskets all at an order, in a semi
cirele around the scene of executions.
The prisoner bent down, resting his knces
tipon the earth thrown up around the new
dug grave. Ile had no hope of escape; and
as he looked upward towards the heavens, al
though all was biack with night, yet his eye
pierced through the gloom, and he saw in the
future, redemption for the past! The quiv
ering of is lips showed his sincerity : he was
prepared to die. Of a sudden he bent his
head. Ah! his prayer was heard—rescue
was at hand. His li!{:-—uh! glorious thought
==was not to set in blood through the hands
of men!
“Harry ! said a voice, in a whisper, pro
ceeding from the grave where the prisoner
had seen a dead body tossed but a few mo
ments before ; *make no alarm. '"Tis I, your
comrade, Dick Martin, of Washington's Life
Guard, come to save you. Make some ex
cuse to turn your back towards the hole where
I have hid myself, and 1 will cut the rope by
which your hands are tied. When this is
done and you hear me groan, kick over the
lantern and make for the east corner of the
grave yard : [ will follow. Things are ready
for our escape. Remember, make no alarm !
The prisoner felt as ift he had wou empire
upon empires. Llis life, then, was safe !
+Come, rogue, your three minutes are up.
Nambo, the rope there ! you pattern of Guinea
beauty.”
The prisoner, without rising from his knees,
turned round so that he faced the lantern, his
hack towards the grave. "I'he negro advanced
with the halter, to place it around his neck.
The scene was striking. In the foreground
swod the soldiers, gazing with no very pleas
ant emotions, by the Jim light upon the poor
prisoner. Cunningham was in the centre, his
brutal and harsh features lighted up with al
most the expression of a devil, preparatory to
seizing his victim. Scouundrel, you had no
victim that time! Just as the wnegre got
within arms' length of the prisoner, the jatter
(elt the thongs cut which bound his anns.
He was free!
But why starts the black, his eyes protrud
ing from their sockets, as if death was before
’ him? The halter drops from his hands :he
is paralyzed with fear. Slow!ly from the grave
I tises the dead body of the soldier he had him
' self vrolled into it!
| “Gor a’mighty, the dead had riz ! said the
‘negro solemnly. .
~ Cunningham beheld the sight, and so did
the soldiers. The vision was so awful—so
apparently contrary to huwan reason—that
with one accord all fled, excepting the negro
and the prisoner. T'he former rolled on the
ground, exclaiiming :
“Spar’ me, massa ghost !—spar’ me his
time, an' | neber hang another sojer !"—and
be rolled over the graves, shivering as if struck
with an ague fit.
In the meantime the prisoner, and his com
rade who had so opportunely rescued him
from an ignominious death, hurried from the
scene 3 and, springivg from the grave yard,
made for Lispenard's woods, which theo
skirted on the North River, near about where
Canal sireet now ends.
There they found a boat, in which Dick
Martin had crossed alone from the Jersey
shore, six hours before, to save his comrade.
Reaching the Jersey side, just below Bull's
Ferry, in an hour, they struck into the woods
and reached the camp of Washington, near
West Point, at night the next day. The
morning after, in general orders, two new
licutenants were commissioved in Washing
ton's Life Guard, and the reader can imagine
who they were. :
A brief explanation perhaps is necessary.
It always surprised the English commanders
how Washiogton knew so well the movements
in their lines. Washington, in many cases,
made desertion a duty. He knew who among
his private soldiers, to ask this from, and never,
in a single instance, was his confidence be
trayed. Death upon the gallows followed the
poor private often, but he never compromised
his commander. How could Britain expect
to conquer a country that contained such men !

RIFLES AND RANCHEROS.
BY PHAZMA.
In the city of Puebla (1843) there is anold
Datchman who is very fond of relating the
story we here introduce. When making his
first visit to this country, wmany years since,
he happened to travel sole companion of a
| sturdy Kentuckian in a diligence between two
| of the large cities. Of course the two travel
| lers soon became familiar, and (Luilo as much
| a matter of course was it that t eir lhoujhts
' and conversations should turn upon the dan
| gers of the road. The Kentuckian was mas
| ter of a superb rifle, which seemed to be al
most a part of himself, as indeed, he paid far
more attention to it and handled it with more
care, than he dreamed of bestowing upon his
own person. In the diligerce he carried it
between his knees, muzzle down, and while
he rode he would pat and fondle it as tender
ly as maternal dotage would an innocent babe.
The Dutchman's weapon of defence was a
double barrel shot gun, which he had care
fully loaded on this occasion, and the two
very soon agreed to do all the slaughter they
could before the outlaws should make free
with the smallest valuable they had about
them. Th.l{ had no sooner arrived at this
conclusion than the driver was commanded 1o
Join the compact, and it was arranged that
upon the first indication of npfiroaching dan
ger, the two travellers should be warned, and
the diligence should stop.
This arrangement was scarcely made before
it was called into action, and the driver hasti
ly gave notice that eight or ten mounted ran
cheros were in the road advanciog slowly to
meet the diligence.
*“Stop the horses—give her a lick back—
stop her!"” roared the Kentuckian, as he kick
ed the door open and ju' ped into the road.—
The Dutchman was hardly second in the
movement, being upon the outside of the op
posite door with simualtaneous rapidity. At
about two hundred and filty yards distance,
three of the foremost robbers were advaucing
abreast. It was upon the most lonely and
desolate part of the road between Puebla and
the city of Mexico, and in the misty dawn of
morning. The kentuckian and the Datch
man placed themselves side by side in front
of the diligence; each with the most indomi
table determination to fight until the last
breath in defence of theirrights. I'he Dutch
man, however, was much puzzled at seeing
his comrade in arms elevate his rifle perpen
dicularly in the air, and slowly let the muzzle
fall in drawing a deliberate aim at the advanc
ing horseman.
“Mein Cot—ton't waste the powder!”
said the Datchman, * Wat are you for go
ing to hire?" g
“Let me just level old Kaintuck,"" replied
the Kentuckian—=**keep cool, and I'll pick
out that middle chap in a minute !"
“ Mein Cot. man,” said the Dutchman,
“ vy it ish more farder ofi’ dan von mile 1
i The old Dutchman made no allowance for
| the uncertwmin hight of early dawn, but the
‘ Kentuckion knew every shude of the sky from
' morning till inidnight, at this time he was as
I sure of his shot as though the ranchero had
L already fallen from his horse.
“If you kill de rashcal at such much dis
tance,” said the Dutchunan, * you vill only
vaste de pullet.”
But the Kentuckian had got his aim, and
just as the Dutchman had ceased speaking,
“Old Kaintuek” politely spoke up, and scnt
the middle robber tumbling from his saddle.
The eyes of the Dutchman expanded with as
tonishment at the effect of the Kentuckian's
shot, and broken expressions of extravagant
surprise Issued from his lips.
The old hunter said nothing, but quietly
loaded his rifle again, and with a pleasant grav
ity lifted it to his shoulder. In the mean
time the rancheros made off with most inde
fangable expedition at the first broad hiut of
powder aund shot.
““Ave there any of them in sight 7" said the
Kentuckian, as hie coolly let the muzzle of
his rifle fall again in search of a victim.
This question was answered by the driver,
who seeing that the Dutchman was too much
astonished to speak, ventured to announce
that the robbers* were out of sight farenough,
but whether or not they were out of reach of
that rifle, he could not venture to say !"
The Kentnckian has travelled away, hea
ven knows where, since the adventure we
speak of, but the honest old Dutehman is liv
ing now in the city of Peubla, and swears
even to this diy, that the distance at which
the Kentucky man killed the robber ** vas pos
hitively so more ash amile !”
Prerry Hanvs.—Delicate, beautiful hands!
Dear Miss, how do you conteive to muke
your hands so pretty T—and get on such rings,
too, as if to Jraw attention that way? Ler
us feel of them. Lord-a-marcy, how softand
tender! Do you bake, Miss? No. Do you
make beds? No. Do you wash floors, and
scrub the pots and kettles ? No. So we
thought. Look at your mother's hands.—
Ain't you ashamed to let that old lady kill
herselt’ outright, while you do nothing from
day-light to dark but keep the dust from your
face, and the tlies from your hands ! \z’lm
are you fit for? Will a man of common
sense marry you for your delicate hands? A
person who is a real 'nan would prefer to sce
them blackened occasionally by coming in
contact with pot hooks um{ trammels, and
callonsed by a day or two's hard rub at the
washing board. Pretty fingers indeed! What
are they good for, but to move over a piano,
or to stick throngh gold rings? Like many
of the vain things of earth, they are kept for
show, and nothing more. For our part, we
would rather sce them worn out in actual ser
vice, and as tough as a coquette’s conscience,
than so tender that a fly's foot will make an
impression upon them. |
AUTUMNAL SPLENDOR IN CANADA.~From
the first of September to the beginning of No
vember, and sometimes even to the end of it,
the weather, although delightfully pleasant
and beautiful, becomes gradually colder and
colder; the sweet melody of the birds gradu
ally dies awey, till all is silent. Even the un
ceasing chirp of the cricket is hushed; but
the trees in the boundless, measnreless forest
~exhibit, in the bright sunshine and the pure
| itmosphere of this lovely season, a picture as
' beautiful as it is novel to the eye of a stran
ger. ludeed of waving their luxuriant foli
age over mouuntain, hill, and valley, in one
rich monotonous hue of living green, they
now gradually, one by one, assume colors
which, in brilliiney and variety, exceed all
description. ‘The soft maple is the first to
commence this gorgeous digplay, by chang
ing to a rich crimson; the sugar waple then
follows, in similar though more sombre tints,
variegated with the yellow of the trembling
poplar, the orange and gold of the beech, and
the sere brown of the butternut aud the bass
wood, while the sturdy oak still maintains his
delop green.—Memoirs of @ Missionary in Can

ANSEL WHITE.
The cure described in the above certificate o
Mr. White, isby no meansa singular one. There
are hundreds who have beencured from the most
acute or long continned discase, by the use of
this excellent and highly popular remedy. The
proprietor recommends it to the public with the
utmost conlidence, for in all cases where it has
had u fair trial, it has sncceeded beyond the ex
pectations of the patient or even his own. The
care with which it is prepared, and the intrinsic
excellence of its materials, should secure, and
have secured for it, a character which it well de
serves. The prejudice nsually existing against
advertised medicines, would not he merited if
bestowed on this. The wonderful cnres it has
performed, and the acknowledged celebrity of its
prineipal constituents, should at once recommend
it to the pnblic favor.
