Aaron Burr and kin daughter.
The history of every nation is fraught
with romantic incidents. England has the
story of her Alfred, Scotland of her Wffl.

Stuart, Ireland Ijer ritzerald, r rnnce If-r
Man with the Iron Mask, and Maria ffln-
toinctte, Poland her Tliadcus, and Russia
her Siberian Exiles. " But we very much
doubt whether any exceeds in interest the
singularly touching story of Aaron Burr and
his highly accomplished, his beautiful and
devoted daughter .Theodosia. The rise
and fall of' Burr in the affections of his
countrymen, aro subjects of deep bistori

In the expectation of seeing his daughter
in a few days, Burr received much plea,
sure. She had become his all on eajlM.
Wife, grandchild, friertds and all were
gone; his daughter alone-remained to cheer
and solace tho evening of his life, and to
Welcome him back from his exile. Days pass

from Mr. Allston, inquiring If his wife had
arrived safe, and stating thnt she had ihil: '

Why did it not arrive T These were quesi

one could answer; j,
The sequel is soon h ld. Th vessel tier-
er arrived, it undoubtedly foundered at
sea, and all on board perished. No tidings
have ever been heard of the vessel, the
crew, or the daughter of Aaron Burr all
wero lost. This lust sad bereavement was
only required to fill Burr's cup of sorrow.
"The last link was broken,' which bound
him to lifi-. The uncertainty of her fate
but added to tho poignancy of his grief.
Hope, the last refuge of the afflicted, be,
came extinct when years had rolled on, and
yet no tidings of the loved and lost one were
gleaned. ..
Burr lived in New Tork until the year
1836, (we believe) when he died. The last '
years of his life were passed in comparative

daughter, since his departure from home ;
lie was anxious to hear from her, her bus
band, and her boy, aa only child, in whom
his whole soul seemed bound yp. The first
news he heard was that his grandchild died
while he was an outcast in foreign lands,

exclusively devoted to the use of those w ho
carry out the dead forburiul ; and so great
is the population, and so rapid the ravages
of death, that the mournful processoil is
never broken. An observer would be im
