tTHE FOREST MURDERER. ;
A TALE OF INDIANA.

' Tbs incidents which I am about lo relate
re nut drawn frorn imagination, but fact.,
They form n net of (no never ending
Jrnma of human villainy.
. tThis is indeed a wild night,' said Chas.
Gray to hi wifr, ns they sat before the
blazing hearth ol an .Indian log cabin
whilst the winds, wailetl around the roof
andfvent sounding through the forest.
'Wilder than t ever knew,' observed his
wife, -Charles how thankful we should bo
to our Maker that he gives us this warm
6re and close cabin to protect us from the
rude elements.'
'Thankful,' and Charles Gray assumed
a scowl, which of itself spoken the demon
,; in his heart, 'lhankful,' wife you mock
me. What is this cabin to the luxurious
comfort of the town folks ,;jwhom we used
to see m .New York, roIlmr through the
streets in their cushioned carriages, or re
clining on silk sofas and laughing at the
rarged beggars that claimod their charily.
Thankful!'
Marv did not reply. She feared him

ed by angel's hps, to ono whose soul has
become absorbed in the unacquuiutcd love
of wealth.
Charles Gray was a native of New
York, and hud been left a Ifandsome for-
tune but promted oj avarice, and too
impatient to continue in tho safe business
which he begun, joined others of an equal
ly rapacious disposition in speculation
which at first proved promising, but cnthe-
ly failed, and left many an ardent dreamer
i ft ruined man. Charles in this mad rtf-
fair had embarked his all. He was left
wilhmit hoURA nr fl ienrls fur frioiulw nf nf.
ten bound with golden chains alone.
" Ho determined, with his wife, to emigrate
to Indiana., fuT whose fertile soil, broad
' stream, genial cliunte a i l noble foa-ats
o much was said.
,' With a biller spirit he bade farwell to
0me.and with a small amount of money,
' raised by the sale of bin wife's jewels,
sought the almost untrodd en wilds of the
west. With ft smalfr amount of cash, he
J-purchased a few acres of ground on the
)hi6 river, where the beautiful town of
? isnow standing. For a short pe
riod he Inbofed ass duously on his small
faun, and cheered by the smiles of a lovely
and devoted wife, seemed' to forget his mis
fortunes. A short time before our narra
tive opened, Charles visited L: as a
humj on a flat boat, tho only species of
water craft then used to convey goods and
produce down the river. Whilst he was
there he met several of those .who had
failed in the same speculation, which had
ruined himself. But whilst he had re
mained poor, they by some means had
revived ; their fortunes and settled on
the Ohjo, where they were carrying on a
brisk business. Charles returned home an
altered roan. For whole days he would
sit idle and descontented. His sleep was dis
turbed by dreams of gold ; in vain did the
beautiful and uncomplaining wife endeav
or to frighten the fiend from his bosom
It was like one solitary star trying to dis
sipate the darkness of the storm tossed
ocean.
Wilder yet rolled the storm through the
cracking woods, and Charles wus still
brooding over imaginary wrongs, when
a 'hollo,' was heard outside the little en
closure which surrounded the cabin
Mary sprang to the door and after scru
tinising the traveller, for such the intruder
was, by the light of a bark torch which ,
she held over her head, invited him into i
her rustic home.
In a moment a gentleman of rather slight
ta'.ure, bearing a portniantua ia his hand
olered and gave the usual salutation.
II tii i-
--Sisry cancel lor tier liusbnml to attend the
lriveJler,but neither by word or gesture
did he exibit signs of having heard her,
until the stranger's poitniuntiui touched the
floor, spoke to his sordid soul of gold -The
demon was aroused, but he woreasniil
ing fuee.
'Welcome stranger, welcome,' exclaimed
Grey in so hurried and strange a manner
thdl the traveller started back a few paces
in surprise, but quickly recovering himself,
exchanged salutations and seated himself
a rude chair, already placed for his con
venience: before the tiro.

f AVhut they nil retired to rest The trav-'!!-to
'sleep Gray to brood over the
wealth' of hi guest. What fearful thoughts
pasted through the brain of the wretch,
lhatalgbt Alow often did his eye wan!

bout Imving the Ud, when a light motion
of hfiife-in her dumber deterred him
from ht murderous intent Who but the
,T peocilof Ihetlernon could paint tho fears
the hope4hi dark resolves ol the wretcli
. 'M Graft while jlie, wearied guest slept but
T 4 few pacet from him, in that peuco which
.virtue and weariness alone can give.
The morning came and glowin- from
his ocean couch, arose the sun, gilding the
distant bluffs -and surrounding forests with
colors drawn alone from tho pallet of heav
en. His beams shown down upon the cot
tage yet unstained with blood, ami arous

I he simple breakfast was soon over,
and Somers asked Gray to set him on tho
nearest way to M . With the uliiinJ-
ness worthy the days when he stood a res
pectable merchant behind a city desk, he
informed Somers thai he would accompa
ny him par' of his journey, and under
pretence of killing some game, shouldered
his rifle and led the way. For some time
they walked together, whilst renewing boy
hood remembrances remembrance which
called to mind many a spot hallowed by
childhood sports and parental affection.
They had thus proceeded about three
miles, and arriving among those beautiful
bluffs on the Ohio, since rendered celebra
ted by a deed which has given a name to
a small crystal stream which dashed over
a precipice some hundred feet deep. A
bird swept over their heads, and wheeling
on Us light wing, lighted on a bough, of n
majestic oak which bears the name of
many an ardent lover of nature. Gray
asked the traveller to move o:i while he at
tempted to bring down his game. Somer.s
Complied, and unsuspecting left Gray he
hind. A sharp rifle-crack ran through t lie
woods and a shriek mingled with its echoes.
The host was a murderer for mouev.
Blood may be shed for revenge, and our
sympathies may bo excited for tho assas
sin. But who can (ind u chord in his heart
from which pity may draw a note ol feel
ing lor linn, who with blood stained fin
gers holds the glittering coin before his
eyes ?
Gray soon disposed of ;hc body by hurl
ing it over the precipice. As it went lum
bering through the scrubble and jagged
rocksihat lined the chasm he perhaps felt
remorse but it was only for a moment.
With eager hands he opened the portinan
tau, and rolling out the shiningcpin upon
the leaves for some minutes ho gloated over
his wealth .; for the country wus nhnost un
habitcd. and his demon spirit could rejoice
over Ins riches undisturbed.
hi returning home, lie deposited his ill
gotton gold in the chest. I lis wife heard
fhe ringing of the coin and her quick mind
told her that Charles iray, her husband, j
he in whom her heart had confided, Wis a
murderer. .She fainted. This wretch hec-
clcd her not, but gloomily seated himself
before the lire. From the floor on which
she had fallen, Mary rose an altered wo-;
man The rose fled from her check and a ;
grave in tho forest marked by a single stone, ;
tells you where lies the broken hearted
wife. Peace to her memory ! She is gone j
where the blue streams are never crimson-
ed with blood where the dagger never j
flashes over the head of the devoted way- i
farcr.
Charles Gray became a rich man. His
lands, broad and fertile, bore luxuriant har
vests. A tall mansion rose amone these
old woods to shelter the murderer's head.
Strange to tell he lived unsuspected. No
one cared for the emigrant in the country

Union; but it is a movement which wo
consider full of danger. Tho combination
of any one section of tho Union may pro-
Juce counteracting associations in other
sections, and thus snlit the country ul into
sectional factions, intent upon their own
purposes, and regardless of the general
welfare. It may be thought lhat the con
templated Southern Convention, if held,
would proceed no farther ijian to pass
some harmless resolutions, and then dis
solve. But we are unwilling tn trust io
the moderation of those who might com
pose it. Its proceedings might he control-
led by passion or by individual ambition,
and consequences fatal to ilie Union might
be the result. Wc consider such a con
vention useless for the protection of South
ern rights, and had rather trust their de-
leiice to tlic constituted authorities of the
country and to the justice of the American
people, than resort to the proposed conven
tion. The nation is in a critical position
at present, and an imprudent muvrnnuit
might jeopard the existence of the Union.
The Southern States are by no means
unanimous in favor of the convention, and
we doubt whether more than one hall' of
hem would be represented in it if held
It is not likely that either Delaware, Mar- 1
viand. Virginia, Kentucky, Tcniie.--see, ;
Louisiana or .Missouri, will be fully reprc-;
sented. Some of these States will not send '
a single delegate, and condemn the whole
, proceeding, ll has been denounced by
j Tennessee, and tho people of Man land
l are decidedly opposed toil: nor an we
think t li.it it will he approved by the Wes-.
tern section of Virginia. In faci, the Suuih
will not enter Jicartily into the measure us .
it is considered uncalled for and danger
ous. Politicians may urge its propriety,
but the masses will not he induced to grat
ify thein at the hazard of the Union ; the
dissolulien of which they would consider'
the greatest curse which could befall the
nation.
In Xcw York and Philadelphia the pro
ceedings of abolitionists have been con
demned the Wiluiot Proviso has been
dropped by common consent in Congress ;
and there seems to be a fair prospect that
all the compromises and guarantees of the
constitution will be observed and enforced
there is, then, no occasion for any spe
ciul movement at the South for the protec
tion of her rights, and we therefore hop':
that the project ol holding a Southern Con
vention will be abandoned. All parties
their limits. If tins bo recognised as the
governing principle in the legislation of
tue country, there can be no occasion
the indulgence of sectional feeling, or
controversies on the slave question.
