BONO OF THE OLD DELL.
For full five hundred yenra I've swung
In my olil grey turret blgb,
And many a different theme I've suns;
Aa the time went stealing by!
I've pealed the chaunt of the wedding morn:
Ere night, 1 have sadly tolled
To any that tho bride was coming love-lorn!
To sleep in the church yard mould!
Ding dong,
My ceaseless aong,
Merry and aad,
Hut never long.
For full five hundred years I've ewung
In my ancient turret high,
And many a different Ihrme I've aung
Aa the time went atealing by.
I've swelled the joy ofacouutry'a pride,
Foravlctory far ofFwon;
Then changed to grief for tho brave that died,
Ere tby mirth had well begun!
Ding dong,
My ccaaelcsa long,
Merry or and,
Dut never long1
For full five hundred years I've swung
In my crumbling turret high !
'Tis time my own death song were sung,
And wllb truth before I die !
I never could love tho theme they gave
My tyrannized tongue to toil
One moment for cradto, the next air grave,
They've worn out the old church bell.
Ding dong,
My changeful aong,
Farewell now,
And farewell long.
BOTH SIDES OF THE PICTURE.
Is the buy sickl' asked Mr. Lindley.
witn a look ot anxiety and alarm, as he en
tered the room, and saw his young and beau
tiful wife, sitting beside the cradle of her
sleeping infant, weeping most bitterly. ' Is
the buy sick!
' lo, answered the atllicted lady, ' he is
quite well.'
' 1 hen what is the matter my dear l,mi-
lv? what occasions this flood of tears!'
Mr. Lindley seated himself beside his wife,
and took her hand while speaking.
' 1 am worn out with tins perpetual con
finement,' answered Mrs. Lind'ev; 'tins
unvarying round of dull domestic care-'
' Perpetual confinement my dear!' said
Air. Lindley; 'did you not spend yesterday
with your mother? and tnkc a dri ve into the
country the day before Come, dearest,
dry jour tears, and listen to an interesting
book 1 brought home with me, purposely to
read aloud to you.'
' Your book would be but a poor substi
tute for society,' said Mrs. Lindley, who
still sot with her head inclined, looking the
very picture of sorrow and discontent; 'I am
suffering for society suffering to mingle
again with the world as I ussd to do.' Af
ter a momentary pause, she continued
' Sophia was in just now dressed so beau-
lilully! on her way to Mr. Whitewell's
party. All the world will be there, poor I
excepted!' A fresh gush of tears called
anew lor the use of her handkerchief.
' Young ladies have little else to do than
attend parties,' said Mr. Lindley; ' we,
happily have better engagements, and more
precious pleasures.'
'.Married ladies seem no more confined
than sinirle ones, except inysell',' said Mrs.
Lindley, who seemed to have heard only the
first part ol her husbnnd s remark. ' Mrs,
Loni', and Mrs. Southwell, and indeed all
my friends are to be at Mr. Whitewell's to
night. iNo one but myscll is in bondage.
Every one boside can have a nursery maid,
did all elso that is necessary to make them
comlortaule and happy.'
' 1 am sorry that we cannot have a nurse
ry-maid, since you think it would conduce
to your happiness; though for my own part,
I had rather that my dear r.mily should
have the char of our darling boy, than en
trust him to the care of almost any hireling
that could be found,
Acain the first part only of what Mr.
Lindley said, seemed to moot the ear of his
wife. Her voice was never harsh never
loud but it certainly did sound sweetly, as
in a kind ol low gutteral she replied, 'Borne
gentlemen choose to think they can afford
but very little to make a wile happy!
Mr. Lindley dropped the hand he had till
then held within his, and rising, walked the
floor rapidly. IIo did not whistle he did
not sing but lie, just made the notes of a
tune audible, as he inhaled and exhaled the
air between his scarcely pouted hps. After
some ten or liltccn minutes spent in this
manner, ho suddenly seized the volume ho
hail mentioned, ami seating himself near
the lamp begnn to turn the leaves. Mean
while Mrs. Lindley neithor spoke ror mo
ved. Her head rested on her baud, and her
eyes sought the carpet but no tear fell, for
her feelings wore too highly excited to per
mit thrm longer to flow. The disturbed
husband found his book a vain resource;
anil after twirling the leaves a few minutes,
he threw it on the t tble and left the room.
The next moment his wife heard the street
door close behind him.
Then, indeed, came a fresh flood of teals.
'Tlii.V she exclaimed, as she covered her
face with her hands, 'This is the sympathy
he feels for me!' Mrs. Lindley was now
wrought up to real agony. The infant at
this moment awoke and clasping him 10
her bosom she cried ' Yes, darling, your
father s foehngs are such toward your poor
mother, that to avoid her society, he is even
willing to leave you, dearly as he loves
you!'
With the unconscious infant cradled in
her arms, the mother indulged herself in
looking back on the gilded scenes of her
youth or ruthor of her unvaried life for
her youth was yet in all its freshness and
beauty. Her freedom from care from con
finement the parties the balls the con
certs the drives all came thronging upon
her:
While memory, . . . covcrwl with (lowers,
Restored every rose, but secreted its tbera.n
In the retrospect, the picture was all
brightness all gladness and what was her
presentlot! How great was the contrast!
No variety no pleasure; 'all her days
were twins;' a perpetual round of pretty
household cares,and a helpless infant always
by hersido or in hor arms! How dark did
a disturbed imagination render the reviewl
Niie thought and wept, until she verily be
lieved herself the most wretched woman
alive; while at the bottom of all lay a feel
ing ot displeasure against her husband, as
II no were too
wilful cause of all her!
t mollies.
For nearly an hour Mrs. Lindloy indulged
herself iif these purely selfish musings, mur
muring" and regrets, when the clock in a
neighboring street, striking me nour or
nine aroused hor. Where can Georgo be?"
she cried. Sho felt some alarm; and laying
liur again sleeping iulunt in the cradle, she

went to tho window, and thence to the door,
to learn if he were coming. The street
was quite still-not a footstep was to be
heard: and with conflicting feelings she

Un the whole, Mrs. Lindley was not on-1 stances. At length wo reached Anthony

reasoning woman and the period hid now advised him of the fact. Ho begged to be
arrived for a revulsion of feeling. Other , left to pursue bis way alone, with so murl
views began to proscnt themselves to her
mind. It is 1,1 myself that am cruel!'
thought she; 'how happy we might have
been this evening, had I not driven him
from me! How tender ho was and how
kind, to bring a book purposely to read tome!
lie is willing to forego his society for my
sake and cannot I (ir his? And after all,
what isthore so desirable about a perty? Did
I ever attend one, howevor brilliant how
over gay where, from some source or othor,
there was not as much suffered as enjoyed?
Did I ever attend one, in which I did not
hoar or see expressed the workings of envv.
of jealousy, of contempt or of ridicule? In
such scenes did I not experience quite as
much pain as pleasure, unless, indeed. I
could secure the undivided attention of
(lenrgel And now he is all my own, and
I drive him from me! What did 1 not en
dure whilo doubtful whether he loved me!
whether he would ask me to be his! What
were my thoughts when ho once said to me,
'That with his present fortune, ho should
not dare to ask the woman that ho loved to
unite her fate with his, on account of the
privations sho must undertro.' O. did I not
think, that, with him for a companion, the
most humble establishment would be a par
adise: and that no self-denial would bo se
vere! and now that I am his wifo, 1 drive
him from me by my unreasonable ami cruel
repining! O, where can he bo?' Again
sue went to the window '.0 the door. In
vain no husband was to bo seon or heard.
How gloomy, how desolate, did her com
furtable and well furnished little parlor an
pear as she re-entered it. 'Oh!' cried she,
'what sunshine would his smile shed around!
but I have displeased, grieved, wounded,
forced him from me!'
Never had any hour in Mrs. Lindlsy's life
dragged use. I along so slowly as the pre
sent; and it was not until after the clock
struck ten, that the well known footstep of
her husband met her listening ear. With a
bound she met him in the entry. 'O, my
dear George, how glad 1 am you are come.'
Her husband made no distinct answer, but
entered tho parlor, and advancing to the
mantel, rested his elbow upon it, and leaned
his head upon his hand. His countenance
was clouded, yet 'more in sorrow than in
anger.
'Dearest George, will you forgive me?
said the trembling wife; while she twined
her arm in his, and looked up imploringly in
bis face, will you, can you forgive my folly?
my cruelty?'
' Yes, Emily I can do any thing vou ask
of me,'
'O, George don't spsak so coldly so
sadly! Alas, I have made you very un
happy !'
You have, Emily, for I fear your union
with me requires sacrifices you are unable
cheerfully to make.
O, say not think not so my dearest
husband! for notwithstanding appearan
ces arc so much against me, it is not so.
Since you left me this evening,' slie added,
while a faint smile strove to chase away the
gathering tears 'since you left me, I have
had ample time for reflection for retros
pection. I have reviewed my unmarried
and my single life; and my cruelty, ray in
gratitude, my childish perverseness to-niglit,
liavo caused 1110 the most bitter self upbraid
ings. May you never know a pang like that
which shot through my heart, when the
thought struck me, that the great Disposer
of events, might free me from care, as he
has freed poor Charlotte, by taking from
me my husband and child! I cannot for
give myself but O, say tint you forgive
me!'
' Forgive you, dearest Emi'y I have no
thing to forgive, if you only will be happy?'
O, lam most happy! most blessed!
blessed in having such a husband! This bit
ter hitler evening has taught me, that all
the joys of life cannot be crowded into one
state, or ono period; and I do think I can
novcr again regret the giddy pleasures of
my youth, while in possession of those so
much more precious. Hcncefurth it shall be
my pleasure to strive to make you as hippy
as you make me and to educate our boy
to be as much like his fatlier as possible.
O, say onco more that you forgive me for
depend upon it, I can never again be so fuo'-
ish so cruel so wicked!'
The husband bent forward , and imprinted
a long kiss on the forehead of the suppliant.
She looked up, and bis eyes beaming with
love anil renewed confidence, gave her per
fect assurance that all was forgiven! for
gotten! From the New York Despatch.
A City IntiuB.iT. While the bolls were
on Monday evening ringing the fire alarm,
and tho streets were full of crowds and con
fusion, we met a little lad in a great state
of tribulation. A host of hoys were about
him, and to their honor bo it spoken, none
of tlicin were insulting, what must have
appeared to them but a ridiculous grief; he
was bewailing the fact that he had lost his
way. " .My mother," he said, "is dying of
the consumption, or else I should not ho
here." As ho did not beg, the connexion
of his mother's illness with his wandering
could not readily bo traced; nor could he
give such a doscription of her residence as
would enable any one to find it. The di
rectory was silont upon the subject; and
just as the little cliap's case seemed more
difficult than ever, he said that his sister
lived in Anthony street, and if he could 011-
Iv be shown that street he could find her.
We called to him to follow and we would
lead him there; and then, for the first time,
by his groping about, perceived that he was,
as he afterwards expressed it, l;a little
blind."
Wo took his clay-cold, clammy hand in
ours, i right had stopped the circulation of
his young blood, and it seemed as if we had
a dead child by the arm. In s fev minutes
he became reassured, and a frightful chill
gave place to a burning heat. The sympa

One of the most renrarkablo troits in the
character of the American women, is their
extreme and almost excessive modesty. It
has been noticed by C iplain Marryott, and
almost all foreigners who have travelled
among us. Mrs. Trollope, whose book can
not be so destitute of truth and justice, as
some have pretended, since it has reached
lhooiir4 American edition, often alludes
to tins point in lite character of our country
women; and she illustrates it with some ve
ry laughable examples. The conversation
between a renlleiiianaud lady a&oitf a shirt,
which shu gives us, in one of her chapters,
in which the gentleman tries all his skill to
mako the lady confess what sort of a gar
ment she is making- and the lady on hft
part, duiibcs everyway, uses all her inge
nuity, and resorts at last to downright false
hood to avoid pronouncing so indecent a
word as a shirt, is very amusing, and is con
firmed by almost daily experience.
This excessive pru lory, though certainly
lltgether less dangerous than the opposite
extreme, is still ridiculous enough, and oft
en interrupts, without any sufficient re sun,
the easy 11 w ut social conversation, it is
not, however, peculiar to the Americans, as
the following story will show.
When the young Quean of Philip IV. of
Spain, was on her way to Madrid, there for
the first time to behold a husband whom
she hod married without ever having soon
him, she passed through a litlle town in
SpHin, famous for its manufactory of gloves
and stocking-". The magistrates of tli3 place,
thought they could not better express their
ioy, on the arrival of their new Queen, than
by presenting hor with a sample of those
manufactures for which their town was so
celebrated. The Major Dumo who conduct
ed the Princess, received the gloves very
graciously: but when the stockings were
presented, ho flung them away with great
indignation, and severely reprimanded the
magistrates for having been gnilly of the
egregious indecorum and indecency of of
fering such a present. Know, said ho, that
a Queen of Spain Ans no legs. The young
Queen, who at this time unilorslnod the
Spanish language but imperfectly, ami who
had often been frightened with stories of
Spanish jealousy, imagined that when she
arrived nt Madrid they would proceed im
mediately to cut her legs oil'; just as tlin
Chinese rentier their women cripples, to
keep thsin at homo, and preserve lliuiu from
h'ing expos d to temptation.
As the young lluo.'n was altogether too
fond of motion, to he willing to part wi: li

never to have laughed heartily but once;

now fi led his th. nights, he stopped. Soon
with the knocker in his hand, he stood with
a palpitating heart, and knocked at the ;
door, while with shullhng foot ho gently i
tapped at the sill, as impatiently he waited
for its opening.
' Is Caroline nt home?' asked the youthful
lover, with a smile, as the door swung back,
and a black eyed girl stood before him with
a light.
'S'10 is not sir,' replied the young lady.
' Not at home! and do you not know 1110?
' 1 liavo not tho pleasure sir,' answered
she, 'but will you walk in?'

residence of Caroline Smith?' asked ho, al

From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
Complaints have repeatedly been receiv
ed here and in New York, of property hav
ing been abstracted from packages while
tit route. It was generally supposed that
their depredations were committed on tho
canal, but it appears not to bo the case at
least in the present instance as-the per
soi s implicated are hands on board one of "
our largest steamboats, the Wisconsin.
One of the men lias acknowledged the
whole affiir. Ho says there are four per
sons implicated, who have at vnrious times
taken pieces of cloth, swords, militarvcutn'D-
inents of some value, and other articles; all
of which except the implements of warj.
have been converted into cash. A Cana
dian calling himself Angus Graham, appoara'
to he the principal, and claims the military
wnrdrobe to facilitate his theatrical profes
sion, which he savs ho follows durimr thai
frosty weather and after operations on tho
lako nave been suspended.
The names of two others are James Tur
ner and Arthur Devlin. The last named,
individual was scullion of tho boat, and had,
secreted at his house on Eik etreei, large
quantities of stolen property, which are now
al the ofilco of the magistrate.
The Buffalo Commercial of Monday, gives: .
the following account of the result of an ex
amination betore Justice De f orrost:
A full and rigid examination of two of the .
persons arrested for being cngnged in the
recent robbery on board the Wisconsin, wa
had 011 Saturday evening: James Turners,
ship joiner, and Devlin, the scullion. These
two vyere arraigned for receiving the goods,
kuovvii g them to bo stolen. A wheelsman
by the nomc of Richard C. Gawyer, wa
one ofMho parties implicated, but turned
stnte's evidence, and testified as follows
"While the Wisconsin was lying at the
wharf in this city, three woeeks ago, I saw
Graham (now in jail) ta e three pieces of
calico goods from a box in the hold. It was
daylight. Nevei made it known to captain
or owners; was afraid so to do, lest Gra
ham might retaliate and tell of me; think I
saw the same goods afterwards in Graham's
room: saw no marks; thought the color
was brown. Turner obtained one piece,
on promising to "do something" for Gra
ham; don't know whether Turner knew it "
was stolen or not. Two men now missing- ,
my brother William and another wheels
man named Brooks, were tho principals in
the operation". ' o u,i.,j t f,nm .
that had been taken out of a box; also saw
two over coats which had been obtained
tho same way." This was all the evidence,
against Turner. Tho witness then stated!
what what he knew of D. the person at
whoso house tho goods were fouud. But
there wore no facts going to prove that the
accused bad any participation in the affair.
The boxes which contained the goods now
in churge of tho magistrate, were left at the,
house by Brooks, who said he intended to.
t ike them homo with him at the closo of
navigation. Thus showing, by a combina
tion of circumstances, that although appa
rently interested, Devlin was, in reality, ia
nocent of the charg.i. lie and Turner was
therefore discharged.
When tho examination was over, Capt.
Fursman, of the watch, proceeded to the
house of Graham, and there discovered
an immense quantity of stolen poods.
The assortment comprises almost eve
ry variety of articles imuffiuable from
superior broadcloth to second hand Ger
man tobacco pouchos tho whole of which
weru promiscuously stowed away in large,
boxes. We have only spaeo for a few
of the items found: Mouselainedo laine,
in pieces; fancy colored vestings; boots
nnd bear skins; silver teaspoons, marked B.
A.; broad axes, with and without helves;
splendid material for ball dresses, and brass
thimbles; pea coats wall pockets, and pis
tols for foot puds, German pipes, pocket
knives ami pillow cases with stocksof bed
and table linen, from the same country ; cor
sets for corpulent or effeminato persons, and
calomel carefully put up for tho western
trade; with a host of other articles "toe
tedious to mention."

directions, to secure other goods that have
