FOR THE FREE PRESS. A MEMORANDUM. 'Of 'thc Concert in the temfile of letters ct Th, on Thursday evening, June 5,1828. The halls of the temple were throng'd With the village's beautiful fair; And every male cit that bclong'd To the aforesaid village was there. With flowers the temple was strew'd, With music enchanting it rung; And with peepers wide open 1 view'd A hundred gay nymphs, and they sung. I listenU and ogled them well, (Who could have done otherwise?) For really 'tis strange for to tell, I didn't once wink, Sir, my eyes. The pianos delectably rung, A tall man play'd 'pon a flute, The nymphs to the pianos sung, Tar sweeter than Orpheus' lute. And I said to a little man queer, Is this not the "mansion of bliss?" And he answer'd me thus with a sneer, Umph! this is a concert, you wis. Ay, all of these nymphs that you hear, Chanting so charmingly sweet; Are nymphs of her training and care, A learned, chaste maiden discreet. It really delighted mine ear, And eke many others, I deem, Some infantine maidens to hear, Chanting forth "Love's young dream." Some most bewitchingly sung, While others the pianos finger'd; The temple mellifluously rung, And enchanted the while I lingcr'd. Now orators eloquent at intervals pokc The eloquence of orators dead; When speaking they ceased I quickly did poke Homeward, in quest o' my bed. ' - For late was the hour.

His course was at last arrested, by perceiving sorrie persons at work in a field before him, and being thus hemmed in, he was secured. Regarding this as a proof of spe cial interference of Providence, and that his fate was sealed, he considered as idle all further ef forts to avoid the punishment due to this crime, and made a full con fession. Arena. Nathaniel Macon, U. S. Sena tor from this State, "has been in Congress thirty-seven years: the cut, fashion and manner of his dress, are the same now that they were in 1791, nearly forty years since and some of his present apparel has been worn ever since that year."

He followed and attacked her on the way. She resisted, saying that she knew him and would have him punish ed. He then gave her a violent blow on the head which stunned her, and he was enabled to effect his felonious purpose. He had gone too far to recede, and, for his security, proceeded to take the life of this unhappy girl. There was, however, another witness a gainst him, who is Omniscient, and Omnipresent. A few days afterwards he was apprehended as a runaway by two men one on horseback', and one on foot.' To escape from them he ran into the woods. The man on foot soon fell, and he was fol lowed alone by the horseman who was obliged by the thickness of the under-growth to dismount, in consequence of which the ne gro gained upon his pursuer, dou bled and threw him out.
