. THE DISCARDED. i, BY LTEUT. O. W. PATTEN, V. 8. A. Is woman'i love eo lightly w,pn, Obedient to call, That like the lyre ye play upon, ?T will change and sigh with all 1 Go tell him from this hour we part, And own no mutual shrine t I will not brook another's heart Should share the joys of mine. My step is light my smile is gay, Nor yet my eye is dim Go tell him how in halls I stray : And nevttr think of him ; And how si eve, when music's tone - Comes gushing o'er the air, I feel not in my bower alone, . Nor miss his presence there. ' I do not love I do not hate It were an idle thing ! ' In puling strain I will not prate, Nor yet the gauntlet fling : ' But tell him like some passing gleam " That flits along tig) lea, And like a shadow on a stream, His memory is to me. Perchance he thought with simple guile To prove me like a sword ; And dwelt with cunning craft the while Upon the stranger's word. But tell him when he left my sido I knew not that he went ; Nor shall I clothe my lips with pride, Nor sigh with discontent. Ye voices soft, why o'er my heart Come With your promptings kindl And has he tasted of the smart Which stings an anguish'd mind 1 I care not for his troubled sleep let whisper to his ear, ' ' My eye is not too proud to weep, But frozen is the tear. " And tell him though his every look Cold distance shuns to see : -Though like a falsely label'd book, His name is now to me ; And tho'-no more like music blind, ' His voice may haunt my rest: I wear hie jewel on my hand, ' ' Hit image on my breast. . MARY, THE MURDERESS. When a party of the Morbihan rebel led, during " the hundred days," it is known that there was a serious engage ment near Auray, between the insur ' gents and the Blues. This was only a ' specimen of civil war, a fac simile of '03. Nevertheless, the. officer was so san guinary as to leave some hundreds of men weltering in their blood, among the rank weeds that grew in gullies of the field. It was in such places that nearly 'all the dead bodies were found, and as f was remarked with a most "ferocious simplicity," by the mayor of the-place, appointed to clear the -field of battle, "it vhad the appearance of the consequences of a general pardon of brave men, who ' had gone to sleep in their cups." Alas ! few1 of those sleepers ever awoke. The next day after the battle, a wo- man was going to the field with her - sickle op her arm. As sha: went along the path, she looked with curiosity on all sides. Around her the trees were pierc ed , with balls, the bushes were broken, and the earth trodden down. At short distances, the path was strewn with but tons, with hnir, . with shoulder knots, twisted from the wearer, catridge paper, pieces of Bretons; hats pierced with shot or .bayonets, and puddles of congealed bipod. Every thing indicated that a se vere battle bad recently been fought in this place. As to the dead bodies, they had all disappeared. The peasants had gone in the night to bury them, and the ; women had traversed the field of battle with wallets on their" shouldefsrstripping and praying for their dead enemies. It was even said that rich booty had been thus obtained by some of them,and it was readily, believed what the young wo man spoken of above," was thinking about, had any one marked her peculiar air, aud the careful attention with which her eye scrutinized every thicket on both sides of the way. She had reached a rather wider place, quite marshy, with tufts of high grass, and she began to hur rv her steDs. as if she renounced all hopes of booty, when she saw a bunch of high flags shaking a slight clashing of iron was heard the point oi a oay- onet appeared, and then a bloody figure , nlowlv and painfully rose up. The young woman stopped short. Shn did not make the least noise, but grasped strongly the handle of the sickle. Meantime, the groans of the man and . a few words pronounced in the. provin cial dialect of Brittainy, induced Jier to approach. She wentaiew stepsonthe grass. The wounded man had succeed ed in raising himself on his knees, sup porting himself thus by leaning: on his musket, and the girl; saw his blue " jacket, furnished with old fashioned but trms. that he Was a sailor many com panies of which had been formed in ' Anrav. She aeain hesitated ; but he implored her to approach, assuring her that he would do her no harm, that he could not move, as one leg was dread fully broken by a ball. 1 hus encoura ged, the girl approached a few steps. What do you want J' asked she. Are any of the Blues here V . The Blues have gone.' . r . , Gone 1 How long since ?' - Ever since yesterday. , -. It can't, be possible 1' cried the sailor, " Were we not the strongest?'- - The girl made no answer. She re rnained"standing as if she had not heard the question. She, however, tola a mise. hrA fnr the B ues were at Auray, The sailor again questioned her, and mlid in a manner to induce hirn ' Kflipve that he was abandoned, and without hope tof aid. Severely wound: cd the previous eveningwhilst skirmish ing against the insurgents, the unfortu nate man had passed ;he whole night in the Hags ol the marsh, witnont oeing aDie to make a single move, where he had suffered the most excruciating tortures. He had hoped that day-light would ena ble him to make known his situation to his companions, but the news of their departure cut off all hope. His strength was too far exhausted for him to quit the place where he was, and even though he could have moved, he was afraid of be ing assassinated by the first peasant that met him. In this extremity, he thought that his only hope was in the countrv ffirl. whom chance had sent to his aid. H e was himself a native of the country. His father and brothers, fishermen on Locmariaquer, might come and take him home. He besought the girl to go and find them out he employed the most pressing supplications, tears, and even threats ; but she remained insensible to all. She looked wildly around her, and then fixed her eyes upon the sailor at her feet. She stepped rapidly towards him, and with a harsh voice said : 1 If you wish me to go to Locmaria quer, give me your watch.' Saying which, she made an attempt to seize the watch guard, but the wounded man leaned backward, and made an ef fort to repulse her. ' When you come back,' said he, 'I will give you my watch, and my money with it.' Have you money V asked the girl. Yes.' ' Where is it V ' Here.' ' Show it me.' Will you promise me that yon will save me afterwards V Yes.' Well, then look " And the confiding sailor leaned upon his knapsack which ne had loosened, ind which lay beside him, and his trembling hand commenced with pain to unbuckle the straps. 'Stop cried the girl And she levelled a blow at his head with a sickle, which split the scull. He gave one groan his arms stiffened, and he fell with his lace upon his knapsack. The girl then took his watch, his money, and his clothes. She washed the blood from her feet in a neighboring pond, and then went to the held to cut a bundle ol grass, and returned to the house, un entering, she threw down upon a chest all that she had taken from the sailor, ad ding, ' I found the body of a Blue, and here is what he had about him.' She was warmly congratulated upon her good luck, and there-the matter rested. I5ut on tne evening oi me same aay, the body of the Blue was found and re cognized by the family, and shortly af terwards several circumstances betray ed the young girl, and the whole was discovered. The deceased was one ot those voung Deoole who recruit their opinion with their uniform, and change their cockade to suit the party in power. Forcibly enrolled for the port of Brest, he had set out with his companions, and had come iust in season to be at the fight in Aurav. without the possibility of choosing sides. This position, fully com prehended by the peasantry, as it was that of many other natives of the dis trict, caused the case of the sailor to be greatly commisseratea, ana renaerca ihn morn naious !im who haH assassina te him. Thflrfl was beside in the cir cumstances of the murder, a baseness of villainy whichcreated the utmost u.'Sgust. .i .r -il' I r .1 . i.A- The man had not Deen'Kiuea ior me of hilling, but for the sake of robbery ; and that circumstance excited the hor ror of the multitude, always so scrupu lous in that regard. In such a case, the money stains hands worse than blood, and hence there was a general outcry against the girl. As is usually the case in all generous reactions, in wnicn tne spirit of party yields for a moment to the voice of equity, the indignation against the girl was excessive and unlimited. For the want of justice from the proper tribunals, the people determined to ad minister justice themselves ; the girl was discarded from all Christian society, and every one avoided her society as if she .

She unt. inriri like uain. wnn me iaiui uiaia n hr brow, in the midst of men, who as so many living pillories, sung to her crime, while thev cursed her. In vain did she seek to fly her parish wherever a breeze could blow, wherever the voice of a shepherd could reach, the awful chorus resounded. . ; v -. One day (and Mary herself told it,) mot in a up. ri. lar awav iroui wji a sweet little boy, five or six years old, gathering violets. She walked towards him, and sat beside iim. For her, poor, forsaken wretch, who for more than a year had not touched the handof a hu man being, it was an inexpressible plea sure to caress the child. She took him on her knees, and played with him along time, as a motner with her darling, sing ing to him little- infant songs. - When she had finished, the little boy said, ' I know a prettier song than yours, sister lather taught it to me, and he sung: Good Christian people, listen to the crimes : Mary Marker killed a seaman with a sickle a seaman who besought her tor mercy in the language of her own parish, and who was a poor conscript of the district. The unhappy woman screamed in madness, and letting the little boy roll from her arms, she sprung up and fled with her utmost peed. The shame and punishment were too much lor her. lhe murderess sunk be neath it, and became a raving maniac. The Highwayman off his guard A rider to a commercial house in London, was attacked a few miles beyond Win chester, by a single highwayman, who robbed him of his purse and pocket book, containing cash and notes to a consider able amount. " Sir," said the rider, " I have suffered you to take my property, and you are welcome to it. It is my mas ter's and the loss of it cannot do him much harm, but as it will look very cow ardly in me to have been robbed without making any defence, I should wish you to fire a pistol through my coat." "With all my heart," said the highwayman 1 ' where will you have the ball V 'Here,' said the rider," just by the side of the but ton." The unthinking highwayman was as good as his word but as soon as he had fired, the rider knocked him off his horse, and with the assistance of a travel ler, who came up at the time, lodged the highwayman in jail. A story somewhat like this, which by the way is a good many years older than Joe Miller, Esq. is told of the lste earl of Berkeley the father by the by.ol the val orous gentleman who lately covered him self with glory by flogging poor little Frazer, the publisher of Frazer's Maga zine. The earl was a notorious shooter of high waymen in his day. Bagshoi Heath and Hounslow Heath were frequented by gentlemen of the road in considerable numbers and had often. been heard to say that he never would be robbed by a single footpad, although he might per haps think proper to yield his purse if at tacked bv more than one. He was crossing Bagshot one night in his carriage.whena loud voice was heard commanding the coachman to stop. The order was obeyed, and in another a pis tol was thrust in at the window, and a highwayman well mounted, appeared by the side of the vehicle. " You have said that you will not be robbed by a single footpad, my lord," said the robber, "and I have concluded to try whether you will keep your word. I will trouble you for your purse, and whatever other valua bles you may have about you." " It is very true," answered the earl, putting his hand to his pocket ." that 1 have made such an assertion ; and in the fulfilment of it, I would not give youmy purse and pocket book now, if it was not for the presence of your companion, who is look ing over your shoulder." . The robber, startled from his presence of mind, turn ed hastily round to see who was looking over his shoulder, and in a moment the earl's sbullet was in his heart. N. Y.

It was one of the greatest objocts of ' Waldie's Library,' to make good reading cheaper, and to bring lit -erature to every man's door. That object has;, been accomplished; we have given to book', wings, and they have flown to the uttermost parts of our vast continent, carrying society; to the secluded, occupation to the literary, in formation to all. We now propose still fur ther to reduce prices, and render the access to a literary banquet more than twofold ac cessible; we.gave and shall continue to give in the quarto library a volume weekly for two cents a day ; we now propose to give a vol ume in the same period for less than four cents a week, and to add as a piquent seasoning to the dish, a few columns of short literary matters,- and a summary of the news and events of the day. We know by experience and. calculation that we can go still further in tha matter of reduction, and we feel that there is. still verge enough for us to aim at offering to an interesting literary appetite that mental food which it craves. The Select Circulating Library, now as ever so great a favorite will continue to make its weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for binding and preservation, and its price and form will remain the same. . But we shall, the first week of January,: 1837, isBue a huge sheet of the size of the largest newspa pers of America, but on very superior paper, also filled with books of the newest and most entertaining, though In their several depart ments of JNovels, Tales, Voyages, 1 ravels, &c, select in their character, joined with reading such as usually should fill a weekly K newspaper. By this method we hope to ac- ornpliBh a great good ; to enliven and en-, shten the family circle, and to give to it, at an expense which shall be no consideration to any, a mass of reading that in book form would alarm. the pockets of the prudent, and to do it q a manner that the most sceptical snail ac knowledge ' the power of concentration can no farther go.' 03" No book which appears, in Waldie's Quarto Library will' be published n the Omnibus,' which will be an entirety dis tinct periodical. Termb : Waldie's Literary Umnrtms win be issued every Friday morning, printed on paper of a quality superior to any other week ly sheet, and of the largest sue. It will con.- ' tain 1st. Books, the newest and best that cai be procured, equal every weed to a London duodecimo volume, embracing novels, twelsk . memoirs, &c, and only,chargeable with, ws- paper postage. 2d Literary reviews, tales, sketch es no tices of books, and information from 'the world of letters,' of every description. 3d. The news otthe week concentrated o small compass, but in sufficient amount to embrace a knowledge of the principle events-; political and miscellaneous, of Europe, aui' ' America. The price will be 42 to, clubs of five snh- scribors where the paper is forwarded to one address. To clubs of two individuals, five dollars ; single mail subscribers, 3 dollars; The discount on uncurrent money will be charged to the remitter; the low price and superior paper absolutely prohibit paying a discount. On no condition will a copy ever be sent . until the payment is received in advance. As the arrangements for the prosecution of this great literary undertaking are all made, and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledg es to a generous public for many years, no fear of the nonfulfilinent of the contract can be felt.
