Wit know earth's bower: are oitimes fair; “'9 know earth's scenes are bright; “'e've tasted joy's that lingered there, When our hearts were free and light. Not thoughts from fancy's shore, Nor dreams that haunt the brain, Iiut hidden mem‘ry‘s power Inspires our simple strain.

From out the chambers ofthe past, Like the gems from deepest cave, Fond mcm'ry‘s visions gather fast, Like Ocean's mighty wave. Again we think to see The once familiar throng, And hear their voices free l'nite with ours in song.

But, ab! like golden sands when cast (in shores that oceans hive, The pearly treasures of the past A re lost ‘neath time‘s dark wave. Some tones are silent llt)\'; “'e hear them not. in song; But purer is their ilow, ’ Amid the anch throng.

\Ve only meet to part! But why ‘ Let sorrows cloud the brow? Why let the bosom heave a sigh? We may meet as gay as now. Ah, yes! if not below, III worlds beyond the tomb. Where crystal waters ilow, A Ilti ilowcrs immortal bloom.

Farewelll but let the echo die; Bright hope shall be our stay; And sadness from each heart shall ily, While we sing our parting lay. lVe know earth's bowcrs are fair; “'e know earth‘s scenes are bright; llut purer joys we‘ll share III realms ofbeavenly light. . ,- v . firlcrt animators. FREDERI Cit IIOMEWUOD. (Conclndc'zl.) isxiiiil. was a. beautiful girl of eightch summers. There was a sensitive beauty in the mild depths oi her jet black eye, over which hung silken lashes of the - ebony cast. A sunny smile seemed always to be pl' ng on her vcrmcille tinted lips; and the soft and \vitchiug,r intonatious oi he ' voice evoked the. admiration of all. M sea of auburn trcsscs rested in line con- tri t upon the upper part of a brow that was as white as the riltcd snow. Then she had a diminutive little foot, and a symmetry of form that any one else but lsabel would have been mightily proud of. All her actions were graceful as an— affected, and parton of the free, ingcuous gentleness oi‘her heart. She was always volatile and cheerful as a bright summer day; for in cankcrinr' care had ever eti- icl'cd her guileless heart, and no griei over crossed hcr pathway. She was bonu- tiful—lovcd everything she beheld, and everything seemed to love her. But. she laid entwined on the altar of her heart. one object which she loved above all others—cue worthy being, to whom were lettered the deep iiddcn treasures of her young liic's ail‘cctions. This was Frank

lhlgiugton. Tho noble-minded, riftcd Frank was berni’iiaiiccd husband. I appy

at all times. but now possessing his un- divided ldve, and his hand in perspective, her life was gliding away in one continu- ous thrill of ocstaey. Oh, how she idolized him ! There was no thought, word, (Iced or object. that could by one iiiomeut oi her time, unless ililtrtr—lTlllli did not every- thing have P—soine. connecting link he- tweeu it :md her Frank. llui a. short time was to elapse ere she was to be conducted tothc hymcncal altar. This evening he was to start ior Philadelphia; and imme- diately on his return they were to be in- scparnbly united. IIow her exultiiig hoai't iluitered and her sweet lips smiled when she thought of that time.

As III-r in mid Frank vaulted into their saddles to leave for Charlcstmvn, (the latter but to return for several weeks Frank turned a fiirlive glance. to Isabc , who stood on the porlico, almost concealed by the vines mid shrube-ry that grew on either side; and ho thought she never looked half so lovely, for there was a pen- sive. sadness in her moist eye, and t slight. lreinor in her lips as she waved her inimi- kerehici' in token of farewell. After riding almost outof sight he looked back, and there was that little white signal still pen- dant in her lmud. Frank brushed away a silent tear—threw up his hand to l‘cllll‘ll the signal—gave a silent adieu from his he and galloped lrom \ iew.

'l‘hc companions pursued their way in almost unbroken silence; ioi‘ Frank sceni- cd “Tom in silent commuion with his own thoughts, and llerroiu sccmcd unwilling to \disturb his reverie. The night had closed in as they descended a long and ) hill towards the llull'nlo, along the lll:|l"'Il| of which i ' the remainder of the road’to their to iiion. As the night advanced, the dar less became so intense that it was with diilieulty they could dis- co 91- their way. lllnck clouds, too, rolled up irmu the Western horizon, and hoarse thunder in “In distance poi-tended a terriiic storm. Much of their road lay along the, hillsides, with a. very naiva track; on one, side a tearful precipice. on the other. ledges of huge rocks rose perpendicularly above them.

“ lly my faith,“ ejaculated Frank, as his steed recovered from a desperate full at the entrance to one, of the "narrows," and plunged iorward, frightened at. a sharp ilash of lightning and tho succeeding peal ofthuudcr. “ lly my faith, but. we have a sorry ride of it to-night. ()n such plunge. and side-spring as that in tho dellle and myself aml horse will meet a mutual death on the rocks below us.“

“ Au miconifortablc ride for horsemen," replied Iierrciu ; " but we must make the best of it, keep a watchful lookout. and ha~toii to the end."

The rain came down in torrents; and every five minutes the lightning made each objectluminous as day. The inter- vnls were rendered ten-fold darker; but

still they spurer tholr steeds forward at it brisk pace, when, suddenly. there came :I flash, it possible more vivid than Iiiiv be- lore nud revealed a man in tattered clothes. his head uncovered in the r. u, and with a look of the wildest fury cou- [routingr them directly in the road. The noise of the deafening thunder that iii- stnutly iollowod made both horses Im- niauageable. It was the work oi but an instant. Ilerrcin‘s horse was seizod by tho bridlo; the quick report oi a heavy discharged pistol was heard above the til- mult of the elements. and Frank‘s horse. intractable to ilic bit, darted oil‘ at full speed. The next [lash oflightuiiig,r showcd the ghastly ilaturcsoi Iieiiicu, expiring ' :ruciatiug agony, a pool of warm, I blood on iliu ground where he lay, formed by n. stream issuing from a I)ltliC[-\¥lll|lltiill his b it.

is a checrlcss Monday in the fall of that \Vcllsburgh was crowded with anxious visitanis from all parts of the country. The county court was. to con: vcue on that day. aml the first final on the list was that of Frank Iidgington for the murder of llerreiu. Frank was universal- ly known and beloved. Ileretofore his character was impeaebablc. All had os- tcemcd him for his correct.deportmcnt and suavity of manner ‘tlltI to many in indig- uciit circumstances hc was endeared by acts of kindness and proiusive liberality. Early in the morniutr came tliroiigiug in crowds of people to hear the trial. I'lvci'v road leading to the town was lined with those iroiii tho eoimtry. ()ld men who had uotleft their rooms for years made oncmorcvisittothecouit-housc. Women who had never been inside the building went there in large numbers. None who could po. . ibly get from their homes stayed away from this scene at iutcus and power- ful excitement. Universal anxiety to hear the fate of the. prisoner occupied every In t Long beioro the Judge had taken his seat the house was iillcd to overflow- ing. The aisles, the windows, every pn- silion that could command a view of the bar presented a dense mass of human beings. Presently the Judge. ascended his stand. order was after some eil‘ort, restored, and the prisoner was brought in by the sheriil‘.

A universal murmur of ball stifled ap- i'au through the jam oi people as . \v him, with erect brou , a. calm eye, and aiiriu step walk up infront of the Jury. and take his seat. (.‘alumuy :Iud imprisonment bad of to tailed to blauch his check or dimihc iii-e ol'his eye. When the usual question was put, his reply was given with composure and emphasis,—

“ No! guilty."

" No. not guilty, by Heaven 1" exclaimed :t husky voice far back in the houso. All cycswcre turned on the maniac Iiomc- wood,

The whole oi the day was spent in hearingthe testimony of numerous wit- nesses. Able counsel at home, and irom a distance were employed in bohaii of the prisoner who managed the case with all the legal ability they could summon . As there seemed to be a chain at circum- stantial evidence against him which could neither be refuted nor explained away, and as he seemed to have but little evi- dence in his favor. the first day’s adjourn- ment lcit but little hope in the minds of an ' that he would not be condemned.

o erson who lived abroad went home that night. They clustered in groups on the corners, in the stores and public houses; and all otlior topics were forgotten butihcone. Some did not retire to rest the whole night, but impatiently waited tho iuoI'row to hear the progress of tho trial. Conviction of the. prisoner‘s guilt was now iasteued on the minds of many; but even those were loudest in regret that one so young and promising should per- petrate the awful crime of murdch

" And this, with otlu r strong evidence," "sumcd the first speaker. “ the lawyers sav. must absolutely convict him. Who whuld have thoughtihat Frank Edglugtou would one day be hung for iiiurderi’ Ah, me! how strange and what a pity”

“ It is said," Spoke up allot 101'. just ar- rived, ‘tihat Isaiel Biugham, whom he was to be married to, has gone into the jail with him to-iiigbt, and is almost .izy with grief: poor girl! She contends for his innocence, and takes it so hard.“

“Whats great pity,“ said one oi the group, “ that. Frank should blast all his [31%|- prospceis for the small lamouut’ol money which that rascal lierroui had With him."

“ Yes, a pity. truly,“ said another stout veoman; hilt I fear be will bccondemued. It is known that llerrciu received a. large amount of money from llingbam, which Frank was apprised oi. The money has not yet been found, and it is thought he must have hid it. to avoid detcetion. llc docs not d -uy riding with him the night l’a'rreiuu': killed."

“ Nor does he deny," said another. “thatth pistol found on the road is his.“

The i ~xi. da ' terminated the trial. All them of it. .' ' was against him. He was known to st rt ironi Ilingham‘s with the murdered man, who had a con- siderable sum of mono in his possession. This was missing. IR: had ridden into town with a hurried and strange talooi his beliei that his companion was muth - ed. Some went in Search—found tr: . that lit his boot-sole hthoso of horses, as it wheeling and prancing, for some, time on the sonic—and an unloaded pistol, with the initials “ I". 15.,“ by the side oi llerreiu .

h gliiv appeals were made by his coun- sol—sucr as was ncvcr bcforc heard willi- iu ilio same walls—but all foresaw the in- evitablo result. The jury retired, but re- turned in a few minutes; the stiwtllng verdict moved not a muscle, nor contorted a linoament of tho prisom. . The passing of the sentence was deferred till the next morning.

The court-room was more thronng on that morning than eillier of tho twu pre- eeeding days. There was but little change of the appearance of things ii'om before. The same people. the some bar, the same executive, the same prisoner, unmoved and calm as tho mid-summer son. He could meet the glance of all Without quail- in". except that of one who sat near him, so )bing as if her vc heart would break,

This day had long since been set as their bridal day; but, instead oi that, she. was to son- liiiu given away as the groom oi death! She, felt him grow dearer and dealer. as each moment ol poignant ny wore away. She, trusted and liclit-te , with all thu uus‘liaken couiideucc of a woman‘s heart, in his innocence. Ilc was a thou- sand times dearer to her, on the i rink ol Inurderer‘s grave. than he had ever been.
