As the scenes of fny life liave been thus various, so have ey been sad. 1 have known few of the joys of domes tic attachments, and still Jeis of the exalted pleasures of friendship, I have b"en a solitary stranger in the midst of thousands unknown and disregarded! During the last twenty years of that period, I constantly cherished a hope of revisiting the home of my childhood. But the claims of kindred and the force of tender recollections, were stifled by the stronger impulse.of curiosity to vi sit places I had not yet seen, and U found myself fast getting into thewane of life, before I absolutely, determined to gratify my wishes., " On a fine evening in autumn, the sun was throw ing his last rays on the plain, where my fathers dwelling stood ; as I rose an eminence which commanded a view of that cherished spot and the adjacent fields. I paused a moment to collect myself, and to ascertain, if possible, wliat character mv feelinjjs were assuni Uig on an approach to a; scene fraught with so many, interesting associations. The smoke was Curling above the trees in which the house was embosomed, and those : trees Were resigning their leaves to the gentle impulse of the wind. The yard in front was partially 'con cealed from mr view; but I could easi ly discover through the openings the theatre of many a childish gambol. Be fore me lay the smooth extended! mea dow, through which the same small rivu let which thirty years ago had been the sou rce of my aquatic amusements, still found its silent way between rows of willows whose, branches interlaced play ed o'er the bosom of the tranquil stream. Beyond was the forest, beneath whose towering trees ! once had sported in ail the glee and buoyancy of youthful feel ing. My eyes involuntary, aain sought the house, the trees around it, and the yard. Thither I bent, my steps $ and ft was with feeling baffling description, vet never to be forgotten, that I lifted the latch of my father's door. My fa ther's, did I say ? alas ! he vyas no lon ger there ;and to ray anxious ...inquiry; Where! is ; he ? and" my , mother too, where is she ?

The counsel observed he was con vinced that both objections were answerable. ; The jhry pronouhced the prisoner' guilty, but the court suspended the sentence and at the next term tile Recorder decided the objections well takn, and the prisoner.. yas discharged.
