St is rvixc It will be remembered that an extraordinary excitement was created some time since, m the most fashionable circles, by the secret marriage of lady, equally celebrated for her wealth, beauty and accomplishments io th younger branch of a family more illustrious for its talenis than remarkable for any other posses sion. Upon the discovery of the marriage by the father of the lady, a variety of circumstances prompted the demand of that kind of satisfaction whic an exchange of pistol balls is tupp-d to commnicaie : "a message" was delivered from a friend of the obdurate and indignant parent to a distinguished nob!eman, the Lusbsnd of one of the ladies, whose honor was supposed to be im plicated by the transaction; Mmeeti.ig"' took l-mce, nappny witlunl rt tos Conueiicrs. A considerable lime elapsrd before a.recor.cilia tion took place between the parties'; and ilmt event was. we Wirre. the result of scrtil.-nt the father of the bride, happening to bear the ex quisite music of "Sh istAif,"ok up the ballad and, casting his eyes over tne poetry, became so much affected, that his carriage was ordered, and he returned home ; that night a letter of forgive ness was forwarded to his daughter. 'Sie is Aifle"haB ever since been the rci ning favorite in the most distingue circles, and is invariably in troduced on " Bridal occasions ;' add but to this, foal.il ' reigning favorite with thedueen of British Sortg( Mrs. Wood) and another cause of its universal popularity will be discovered. She rs thine, the word is spoken ; Hand to hand and heart to heart, Though all other ties be broken, , ! Time these bonds shall never part. Thou hast taken her in gladness From the altar's holy shrine : . Oh! remember, in her sadnes?, She is thine and only thine. In so fair a temple never Aught of ill ean hope to come, Good will strive, and striving, ever Make so pure a shrine its home ; Each the other's love possessing, Say what care should cloud thybrow, ' She will be to thee a blessing. And a shield to her be thou. At a recent concert in Liverpool, Mrs. Wood sang the subjoined ballad .Its effect was remark able from, the construction put upon the words uy a ioruon oi mc audience : They kneel round the altar, the organ has ceased. ine nands of the lovers arc joined by, the Priest, That bond, which death only ean sever arain. v men proves ever after life's blessing or bane, A bridal Jike'lhis is a sorrowful sight, Sea the pale girl is brida 10 the feeble old kni-lif Again the be!h ring, and the moment is come, For the young heart's worst trial, the last look of home ! 1 They pass form the village-how eagerly still She turns and looks back from the brow of the hill She sees the while eotf. ! tha v.Vrt. . v ; . . . ... o : biutn uc umur. ahj sue thinks of her lover, abandoned, be- trayed. i But who with arms folded hath lingered so long, To watch the procession apart from the throng 'Tis he ! the forsaken, the fat. one is gone, j But Ivippicr there than the doom that awaits ! The bride who must smile oa a being she bates ! The sensation produced bv nartnf th i;nM arose from, the fact that Lord William Lenox the former husband of Mrs. Wood, was present.' A Liverpool paper says : " Mrs. Wood gave the words with thrilling effect The expression of the countenarfce in the concluding lm r.iiH r.f be mistaken.

His soul was wild, impetuous and un- i-uunuiittoie j re naa a Keen perception of the faults and vices of others, without the power of correcting his own; alike sensible of the nobility and of the dark ness of his moral(constitulion, although unable to cultivate the one to the exefu aion oflhe other. ' In extreme youth he led a lonely and secluded life in the soli tude of a Swiss valW. in comDanv with l-llLI . Lit t . t an only brother, some years older than himself, and a young female relative who had been educated along with them from her birth. They lived under the care of an aged uncle, the guardian of those ex tensive domains which the brothers were destined jointly to inherit. A peculiar melancholy; cherished and increased by the utter seclusion of that sublime J region, had, during the period of their infancy, preyed upon the mind of the father, and" finally produced the most dreadful result. Tne fear of a similar tendency in the minds of the brother, in duced :beir protector to remove theni, at an early age, from the solitude of their native country. The elder was sent to a German university, and the younger com pleted his education in one of the Italian schools. After the lapse of many years, the old guardian died, and the elder of the bro ther returned, to his native ralley he there formed an attachment to the lady with whom he had passed his infancy and the after some fearful forebodings! which were unfortuoately silenced by the Wilmington, North Carolina.

He passed the night in a feverish nato of joy and horror. From the window of a lonely tower, he beheld the moon shin ing amid the bright blue cd an Alpine akr. end difiusing a calm and bcaetiiul light on the sylrery snow. The-eagle owl uttered her long and plaintive norca froa the castellated sumraisa which over hunt the valley, and the feet of the wild chamois uere heard rebounding from the neigh! boring cliffs.- These accorded with the geni.er feelings of his mind, but tho strong spirit which o frequently over came him. listened with im.ncA .l:v to the dreadful roar of an immense tor rent, which was precipitated among bro ken rocks ond nines, overturned and nr. rt-ou tl, or to the Miil mightier voice of tb avalanche, suddctily descending with the j accuniubird ftnojws of a hundred years. - 1 J In tne morning he met the object ol his unnapDv Dassiori.

For come days there was a mutual ' constraint in tbir manner, which both werenfraid to acknowledge, and ntiihef was able to dispel.' Kren the uacontrol lable spirit of the wanderer was oppress ed and overcome, and he wiihed he had never ret-jrned to the dwelling of his an cestors. The ladv was equally aware of iue awiui pern oi their situation, and vvithout the knowledge cf her husband, she prepared to depart from the castle, and take the veil in a convent situated iu a neighboring valley. With this resolu tion she departed on the follotving morn ing; but in crossing an Alpirfe pa. which conducted by a nearer route to the adjoining plain, ehe waa enveloped in mista and vapor, and lust all knowledge of the rurrounding coun'ry. The clouda . closed in about her, and a tremendous thunder ttorm took place in the a!lty beneath. She wandered aboct for some time, in hopes of gaining a glimpse cf some accustomed object to direct hurster till, exhausted by fatigue ncdftarTshe sank upon the recks. There he remain eu in aMatcpt feverish delirium, till a gentle air dispelled the dense, rapor frcia before her feet, and disrorcred'an enorra ous chasm, down which she xnoit ha?o fallen, had she taken another rtep.'
