Du bint i'm'Y niicli, icli bin fuer dich, Fuer uns Hind wir geboron ; Drum liabcn wir idi dich, du niich, Fuer inmier auserkohren. 2. leh liebe dich, bo wio du mich. Am Abend wie am Morgen Noch war kein Tag, da du, und ich, , Nicht thcilten un *re Sorgen, Denn waren sie getheilt fuer mich, Um leicliter sie zu tragen, Im Kummer, ward mir Trost durch dich, Ich weint' in deine Klagen. 3. Und Freuden auch genossen wir, Vereint in uns'rem Leben ;. Wie manchcn Tag sah ich mit dir, In AVonne niederschweben, Gott segne dich, erhalte mich, Du meine Lebensfreude, Gott segne niich, erlialte dich, So segnet er uns beide. 4. Lob lang fuer mich, ich leb fuer dich, Bis wir einst scheiden muessen, iTnd denn auch noch, soil dich. und mich ; Dasselbe Grab umschlieszen, Und wcnn Gott einst die Todten ruft, Um dort sie zu erhoehen, Dann wollen wir aus einer Gruft Yereinigt auferstehen. 6. Und dann, und dann so wollen wir, Vor Gott den Bund erneuern, Und ich, und du, und du und ich, Die Lieb aufs neue feiern, Du ewig mein, ich ewig dein, Nichts soil una dann mehr trennen ; Oott ! welche Wonne wird das sein I Zu groBz, um sie zu nennen. ) Il^TRODUCT n. In tlic month of July 1S55, a certain Gontletnnn, tinned %v' h but tMK'-oisjr]itli part of fclio Ktliio])ian blood, but of tho hifjclioHt intcU jctuaJ jtttainmentH ; who has dined, conversed, and asnoeiated with Kinrj.i^ (ii)verno>\% Lords^ JJ/Wtoji^ Chrr/i/.s of dilferent JJcnommufiona, also with Members ofI*arlicunent, and other (icTitlenien of tho 'uost niined ^Society and who has Lectured both ])ubru'ly, and ])rivi),tcly on diftlr- e.nt Topieks, also who occasionally has proclaimed the ''UJladUdhujn vf SalvatimC\ and taught the ^^ Young Idea how to shoot ;'' who be- lono-s to different orders of the ^^Secret Societif Bat out from ( Canada West, on a perilous-journey to visit his Uncle, who resides in the state of Indiana.— Picture to yourself dear reader, the followiiifr scene, an if you were in the same situation, and you will be able to follow thu same Gentleman throuj]^li the awful tragedy with blood— thrilling sen- fiation. The said Gentleman is respected in Canada by all ClasseH., both rich and poor ; white, and black, who is a born IJritish Subject;. :;nd possesses the highest, and relied Education; also his ])ccuniary Mieans are such, as to carry him through this world respectably,— lit? never was so insulted in all the days of his life, as he was when \w visited his Uncle in the ''State of Indiana:^ It was sulHcicint for him to have committed suicide ; if the prevailing hand oiTromdmce had not interfered.— Dear reader, after you have perused the diftereut items, your opinion I am convinced will also agree with the same Gentleman's.— Hear the Gentleman's own narrative:— I left that sweet, and free shore of Canada, in the highest gloor '•Where man is man b> law In shaking the Lion's paw." T"iH(, in order to visit my Undo, wlioni I iunl not seen for BCTcral vtiirH; Second, in order to inlialc wonio o^'tliat pnrv, nnd free ntniuft- {•here, (which was falsely rej)orted to nie) to bo in circulation in tho State of Indiana : hut I was totally deceived, as a dense foi^ appeared to ascend from a stagnant pool, the stench of which seemed to be com- posed oi A.^>*(ifoi'fiy natures' laws designed — Why was an independent thought E'er planted in my mind ? If not why am I subject to Your cruelty and scorn ? Or why has man the will, and power, To make liis fellow mourn." mm I («) Dear reader, having deviated from my narrative, let mo return f ► it.— I stayed soverul dayr, with my rnile, during which time itth\iti- dered, and lightened, and rained very neveroly: ho that it caused great inujulations. It was very Hickly; the ])rincipal eomplaiuta were J''> 'vv, and A(jue^ and the JJiatrhoea. — During my Htay at my UneU-V I became ac(pialntout now the tragedy must develop itself in its darkest hue. "Could 1 embody, and unbosom now, • That which is most vithiu me ; could I wreak. My thoughts ni)on expression, and thus throw. Soul, heart, mind, passions, feelings — strong and weak — All tiuit I would have sought, and all 1 seek. Bear, know, feel, tuid yet breatlie — into one word And that one word were lightning, I would speak." — After I, and the Bride's Father had returned home, 1 perceived im- mediately by the countenance of the Bride, and her Mother, that ■^omethiniT awful had intervened during our absence. — "We had scarce- ly partaken of a little refreshment when all on a sudden nine ^^hjnoi'- imtes //6>?;i/«^s"smT0imded thelh'ide's liouse, aiul demanded fornu\ my Uncle, and the Bride's Father. — The reader may picture to him- self the emotion of my heart. I stepped out doors, and walked up hoI«lIy like a Lion to tho blood thii-Bty rufUans, and inquired of thorn thuir nic^Bur^c. "Tlioir lookfl were dreadful, and their fiery cye§, Like two great beacons, glared tar ami wide ; Glancing askew as if their enemy; Tliey scorned in thoir over^neering pride; And htalking Btately, like a crancditl stride. At every Htep, upon tho tip-toes higii; And all the way they went on every Bide, They gazed about, and Hturcil horril)ly. Ah if they with their louk.s, uU men would territy, But I renuiined undaunted." Sonu' ct them were Hcpiattingon rho rails, and wluttUng sticks with their Jack-knives, others were standing around with their hands in their pockets, and were gaping at me, as if I were some supernatural- being ; but one of them opened a largo Inferred Lirt't„ belonging to their atrocious inquisition, and told me to read the following clause.

Dear reader, the morning ensuing the awful tragedy, I mounted the god of Auster, and set my sails to the breeze, which conveyed me rapidly to the happy shores of Canada, where man is man by the rights of the law. But, when I look back, and behold the blue vap- pours rising bejond the Iloinzon; the tears of love seem to flow when I consider that my darling Bride, is there surrounded in the midst of wolves, and, avoricious blood-hounds : for , "Her eyes,' her lips, her cheeks, her shape, her features, Seem to be drawn by Love's own hand; by Love Himself in love. She never told hel* love, But let concealment, like a worm i'th' bud. Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought, And, with a green, and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument Smiling at grief. £f^^ flows, 3r yet htivi' Uaire^ and tware, that eiitly heard lliteous and (U) 1 shall now bring mj Drama, to a closs, and I jhall allow, "Nemo me impune Incoaget " and may tbo Lord God ofSMaoih; atch over us, and protect ub, "Nisi Dominus frustra," ^lymmc has refused aiding me his assistance any longer ; he has taken his flight, and soured far beyond the Andes.
