As he censed weeping, she began to cry and sigh—like forty. Then they sat silent for many—alas too many hours, with en twining hands. For the evening was all too fair, and had softly involved the souls ot the two lovyers. CHAPTER HI. A voice suddenly fractured into three pieces the solemn, awful silence. Twas that of Ciusario. “llow blest were I,” said he, and there wus a tremor in his voice, as he spoke; “how blest were; I could I only pour forth all my sou I in tears, and all my lilo into thy innor- njost life and then die!" But she lifted up her tear blossomed eyes to the moon illuminated leaves of the west wind-be-rustled jessamine boughs, (lor eve- body knows that lovyers always sit among jessamine leaves,) that flourished so grace fully over their heads, and she softly, silent ly, meitingly lisped— Romance and Revolvers. The Emperor of Russia has lately per- lormed on act of justice to a much injured and honorable American family, which re flects the highest credit on his Government. The facts were given mo by Mr. Sala, the principal writerfor Dickens’ Household Words, with whom l had the pleasure to dine at London, and who was an actor in the histo ry l am about to give you. About eighteen months ago, a Miss Ward, from one oi the Southern States, was marri ed ut Florence, after a short courtship, to a Polish Count, whose unpronounceable name escapes me at this moment. They were married before the American Consul, I be lieve. After living with Miss Ward marital ly for throe weeks, the Count took French leave one fine morning, carrying oil* his wife’s jewelry asbooty, A letter left behind informed Miss Ward of a fact of which she had been until that moment entirely igno rant, to-wit: that any Russian subject not married according to the service recognized by the Greek Church, and the Russian Gov ernment, was invalid and not binding, and tliut the service which had united them re sembling in no wise the one required, they wore as free as if no service had been per formed. The consternation of Miss Ward und her family ut this delectable piece of villainy, may he wcli imagine/!; for on in quiry limy found that the Count’s statement was but too true. Miss Ward nnd her mother remained a short time in Italy, endeavoring to obtain some kind of redress for the base imposition which had been practiced on them, but their efforts were fruitless. They then camo to Paris and spent the winter here, where they were generally known to the American res idents in the place. At the period of the coronation of the Eiu- Fmo peror of Russia, they went to St. Petersburg. wus here that Mr. Salu made the acquain tance ot the family, by a letter of introduc tion from Paris. The family were going to demand justice of the Emperor of Russia a- gainst his scoundrelly subject. Mr. Sala a r e\v up the petition to the Russian minis ter, and in this petition Miss Ward demand ed of the Russian Governm lit “the re-ha- bilitation of her honor by a lawful marriage with the Count.” The document was hand ed to Mr. Seymour, the American Minister, and he handed it to the Russian Minister of State. The moment the cuse was laid before the Emperor, an order was issued to the Russian Minister at Naples (where the Count was then living) to confer with the Neapolitan Government, with a view to his arrest. The Neapolitan Government, which was just then in great favor with Russia, yielded at once to the request. The Count was seized by the Neapolitan police, and at Russia’s Why should I be without thecl It thou wert not, I also would not be. Wherever, I expense was conducted to the Russian Iron- throughout the wide spread circmnuambu- tier; there he was received by the Russian luting part of this inhabitable sphere thou dwellest, there.do l wish to be.’* And she sunk gently down on the ground. CHAPTER IV. “A heaven, a world, a wide eternity lies in thy words,” cried Cuasario. And loud, far off, from a nour neighboring swamp, melodiously rang out the gentle vesper hymn of myriads of motley, motled frogs—for there were no nightingales to be scared up in those diggins. “Yes, dearest Ciusario, but thou art not aware, ns yet,” cried Clari, (Cluri was her name, f jr it was thus that hoe godfather und godmother had baptized her in her iiftnntilc days,) “Thou Knowest not that my stern tin- withholds his consent to our marriage.” CHAPTER V. At the word marriage, Ciusario suddenly wilted down—trembled, wept, wailed long and wildly, and put on his hat as if he were about to travel. O, who knows what agon izing, heart and soul torturing thoughts thrilled through his unmanly tramo. His breast heaved with wild excitement. His eyes grew wild and glassy. A tremendous quivering shook hisagile frame. One long, convulsive sob broke from his breast, and then—he ejected a quantity of tobacco juice, and was about to resume his natural dialect— Bui the melancholy frogs still quacked sonorously on. CHAPTER VI. Ontario suddenly gave a motion towards his log like palace. Clari, however felt like staying a little longer; and so, thrilling with agonizing emotions, she gave utterance to the fol lowing half whispered sentence. “Wilt thou begone] It is not yet near day. ’Twas the nightingale and not th meadow lark that jderced the faithful hol low of thine ear. Nightly she sings on yon der pomegranate tree, Believe me, love, it was the nightingale, 0, would I were a bird!” “Me, too !” cried Cicsario. CHAPTER VII. “0, cruel Ciusario, do not depart yet!” shrieked Clari, as Ciusario made a sudden movement towards home. But he heeded her not, us with a majestic figure like a gnurlod and shrunken oak, ho pointed to the mellow east, where, on the woods be- skirted sky, the dim and golden morning was beginning to be faintly tinged witl\ fhe first rays of Aurora. “My dearest life,” cried Ciesario, “see, look, Dehold, the purple god of day has just been awakened from his drowsy slumbers by the lords of his bed chamber——Clari fainted. Yet the frogs croaked on. CHAPTER VIII. “Transcendent beauty!” cried Cujsario, “my soul’s enjoyment! Alas ! dear, mod est llower of the desert, ‘art thou forever UiA StnUhtnn Trun Anrerlrsn. The Position of Mr. Buchanan on the Hues- tion of Distributing the Proceeds of the Public l.nmls Among the States. The coffer* of the United States being full to overflowing, and the revenue* still rapidly increas ing. various modes for deputing the treasury have been suggested. Some havo proposed one scheme und some another. All agree that a surplus over what may he required for un economical admin istration of tho Government should not he allowed to remain in the federal treasury, ns, in nddition to tho embarrassments which would result from huv. ing so much of the basis of circulation uselessly locked up, it would be productive of extravagance and corruption; hut there is a want of unanimity of sentiment ns to the remedy which should bo •PI'liod. The favorite scheme of some consists in a reduc tion of the tariff. But as the reduction of the tar- ill' of 18l2 to tho scale of 184G, brought, by great ly increased tho importations, the very evil upon us which it iH now proposed to reliove, the same remedy inny, by a like process, aggravate, instead of removing, the o\il. And, furthermore, that remedy, even ad nutting its ultimate efficacy, could not begin to produce its effect before the evil would be doubled, and the amount of rauney in the treas- ury will be augmented to that degiec before such u tariff could begin to operate. As this is not the first time in the history of our government that it haa been afflicted with the $vi| of an overflowing treasury, we propose to refer to a scheme which was ably advocated on a previous occasion, and which has many friends at this time. In tho year 1837, as now, Uncle Sam was afflict- cd with plethora, und the political Sungrados then, as now, were recommending depletion. At that time, as this, there was a contrariety of opinion, ns to the mode and manner in which the result, desir ed by all, should ho effected. There was a remedy prescribed by n distinguished political physician, who has since been elevuted to tho highest pinna cle of eurthly fame, and whose brow is now encir cled with a bright halo of human glory, which possesses such great merit in its* If, and wh oh was so zealously urgd.und its efficacy so ably maintain ed, that we havo deemed it proper to give the char acter of the remedy prescribed, and a portion of Substance of the Forsyth Treaty* By the arrival at New Orleans, on the 5th inst , of the schooner Col. Lester, the Picayune has ad vices from Vera Cruz to the 22-1 ul»., ami from the City of Mexico to the 18th. The /’iwrytine trans lates, from the Trait,\ v *tUnion, on a; tide copied and endorsed by that pti£»orrroin the Mexican Ex traordinary, giving the purport of the recent nego tiations between Mr. Forsyth and tho Mexican Government. It appears that Jive treaties were made, all of which were signed, on tire 5th ult.. ut the City of Mexico. Tho Extra ordinary, us truire- lated by the Picayune, says: The treaties are five in number, depending upon each other, and all complete an arrangement, the object of which is to bring to hei cossts n commer cial fleet, and to her frontiers a trade which will give new life and activity to her commerce by hwid and by sea. We give in order the substance of each treaty. The first treaty provides for tho establishment of n commission for tire examination of all claims of the citizens of both Republics against the govern ment of either, excepting lire American claims provided for by Mexico by tho treaty of Gmululupe Hidalgo. Tho question of Mexican claims against the United States, hy'renson of tho Indian depredation* upon the frontier, and conformably to the 1 Lit p- tide of the treaty of Guadalupe, being a point in discussion between tire two Republics, will be sub mitted to the iiihilrutiou of the Emperor of the French. If the decision he favorable to Mexico, the claims will lie brought before the Commission. Tho Commission will be composed of four mem bers and two Secretaries, named by the two Gov ernments, who will have the power to elect a filth member, who will act as arbitrator, and decide uli questions upon which the four finJ mem bers (I i fie stablisli- police, and carried to Warsaw. Tho Wards re already thefo waiting his arrival. The Count was marched into the church by a posse of policemen, and was compelled lo stand up before the altar and marry Miss Ward in due form. When the ceremony was concluded, his wife, now legally tli Countess of , made him n formal bow, and bade him adinti forever. And Sula, who was present, exclaimed, ‘Young Amer ica forever!’ The Count, who was decreed an exile, wus sent to Siberia, his property was confiscated, tho Countess restraining bylaw one-third. The family imitmdintely left a- gain for Italy, where they are spending the winter. The father and brother ot Miss W. were present ut tho marriage at Warsaw, with revolvers in their pockets, determined, if there was any flinching on the part of the Count, to blow his brains out, for in view ol the fact tliut he was destined for Siberia un der any circumstances, it was feared that he might not at the lust moment pronounce the necessary word. And thus was a high act ot justice per formed by tho Russian Government in a bold and rapid manner, and an act which does her the greatest honor.—Paris Corres pondent of the Y. Times. Prei'ARIno to Die.—A few days since, in a coffee house on Tcboupitoulas street, a good-natured genius was invited up to drink, by a man who knew him very well, but bad previously kept him at a dignified distance gone!’ ‘O, would that this great solid lump sell, of flesh of which my frame is compose would yield to the merciless beams ol the rising sun, und become as transparent as the gentle dews of evening.’ My dearest Clari, have I known thee for two short summer months, and wilt thou now wilt and droop awayl ‘Ami not fondly thine own’ dear Ciusario ! Awake, bright and beautiful star of the morning, or I must yield to thy heavy pressure and be forced to sink.” But Clari never stirred, and when Camario looked upon her beautiful phiz, he discov ered her to be dead ! O, the loud wail that bust from the now heart-boken Caisario ! ‘He kissed her cold corpse a thousand times over,’ and he blam ed nimself for her death- “And can I survive thy death, beautiful being,” cried he, ‘No, never let it be said that Cicsario was found wanting in moral cour- age. So he took from his pocket a small edi tion of the poems of TEsyneritus, and read on some 57! pages, when laying down the book, he exclaimed, “Olari, we will meet again, for I come to join you, I— Cicsario was dead. Yet still the frogs croaked on. CHAPTER ix. Three thousand five hundred years havj rolled around since the scenes mentioned in the foregoing chapters have taken place, and Time has brought his changes, and on the fatal spot has been erected a gorgeous mon ument, in the shape ot an elegant and large MARKET HOUSE, beneath which the soul of the two lovyers sleep in their lowly bed ju peace. Re qvies cat in pace. But the melancholy Irogs still quack so norously* on. they shook hands, touched glasses, and whilst sipping their toddies, the treatecsoid : “Well, Tom, I’m glad to see you sociable once more. What’s been the matter with you, any how ] You used to be so you would’nt notice me at all ; but lately you scum to have changed, and got to be one ol the friendliest fellows in the world.” “Yes,” replied the treater, •‘I’m a good deal changed now. I’m getting old, you see; I’ve had several sick spells lately ; and I don’t know how soon 1 u;uy be called up on to take a trot down the shell road. I’ve concluded it’s all foolishness to be harbor ing old animosities, und so I’m making up with every body “That’s a good idea, I should say; but, Tom, what ever got you down on me !” “Well, Jim, I’ve made up my mind to let bye-gones bo bye-gones, and it's hardly worth while reviving that little affair ol ours.” “What little affair, Tom 1” “Oh, you remember, don’t you] You must. I mean the time you stole my pocket book, when I boarded with you.” “Stole your pocket-book ! Why, d—n it, you must be crazy!” exclaimed Jitn, with the argument uboi! in support of its application. On the 28th ot February, 1837, upon lire discus sion in tire Senate, of the urnendurent to the fortification bill adopted in the House, providing for a distribution among tire States of any surplus, exceeding $5,000,000, which might remain in tire treasury on tho 1st of January, 1838, Mr. Buch anan opposed that scheme, as it provided for tho distribution of any surplus revenuo which might bo in tho treasury from whatever source derived, nnd ndvncntod lire policy of distributing the pro ceeds of the solos of tire public lands as bad been previously proposed by Mr. Clay, and expressed "his regret that the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. Clay] seemed to hatoe abandoned Ids hill to distrib ute the proceeds of the public lands among the States.” We quote his own language, delivered on the 28th of Februniy, 1837, us may he soon by refer ence to Register of Debut ex. in Congress, page 993. Mr. Buchanan claimed to hu more f itliful to that measure than its distinguished author. He said, “The Senator from Kentucky has ahundonod tire pomising child which Ire hud adopted und nursed »o long and so tenderly,’ and, in speaking of his own superior affection for, and attachment to that “promising child,” remarked : “7 have clung to that measure, through good report, and through evil report, until if has been abandoned by alt its other friends, and 1 am left as the only mourner i f its unhappy fate.” Mr. Buciuinan maintained that if tho proceeds of tho public lunds be reccivod into the federal in usu ry, as the sales were fluctuating, one year being ve ry great, nnd the next probably very small, it would result in deranging all our I •gislation. und “would rehder nil the great intfreals of the country fluctuat ing and insecure.” Tho history nf our 'egislation since, and the present necessity lor remedial enact ments, (Mnhli-J) the vnhdity of the position th« h occupied by him.

Benton and Scripture.—The old Colonel was asked the other day to take a cracker und a glass of wine at the house ot u friend. “Unleavened bread, sir,” said tho Colo nel. “Sir, unleavened bread, sir—the woid cracker is not to bo found either in thb Scriptures, or in any of my works. It is un leavened bread, sir, from Leva, levtnc, Latin, to litt or raise, sir, and t/n-not, and Saxon brad, baked meal, sir—signifying a species of bread that has not been raised, sir. Yes, sir, thank you, sir. I will have one or two pieces, sir, of unleavened bread, sir. and sir, a glass of wine, sir, and shall be honor ed if any woman here will take a glass of wine with me.” The Rochester Times sayn : “ \Ve coulJ nev. er understand the reason why the man who sells o yard of cloth, or a hoc, or an axe, or a pair of shoes, Is regarded by the community us a belter or more respectable man thin he who ruadto it—nor he who sells a barrel of flour, or ships it off to onothcr country, than ho who raised tho wheat from which it was manufactured.” International Don Fioiit.—It is said that at a great dog fight at Bronte, Canada, on Thursday, the 5th inst., the match was for $5,000 Q gjde, and ti e result was tire death of the Luffalo dog, which expired after a severe combat of two hours und fif teen minutes, the Montreal dog, although victor, barely escaping alive. Parties of Hie “fancy” were there from all parts of the United States and Cana da. The Buffalo Republic says there was a loss in bets of about $40,000 to tire American party. After tire death of “Tinker,” he was deposited in a hand some black walnut coffin and brought to Buffalo for burial. It is said that many of the Bull'ulo gentry were so affected ut the death of their favorito, that they actually shed tears over tho dead body of “Tinker.” An Old Bachelor Bristling Up.—Mr. Buch anan, in his inaugural, speaks of “our children nnd cur children’s childrpq,” • year, when we have more in an ay than wo know how to expend, we hear the cry that tho tariff must tie reduced ; the revenuo must lie di minished to tho necessary expenditures of lire Government, protect ion must Ic withdrawn from our manufactures.” To all the manifold evils resulting from these fluctuation* in the revenues of the Government, and the consequent frequent eli ingcs in legislation, embarrassment t > different industrial pursuit*, Ire prescribed distribution among the Stutcsof lire pro ceeds of tin public lands as the panacea which would remedy them all. He said : “Now, sir, a dlstrll ution of tire proceeds of the public lands among lire States would remedy all these evils, and correct alt these anomalies of our system. It would secure to us n settled policy on which the country might rely. It would draw off from tire General Government this eccentric source of revenue, and distribute it among the Stoteb.— Wc would then be left where the Constitution in tended to place us. Tho Government w uld then be administered on its original principles.” We would commend ll.o principles of tho new ly inaugurated President, bo clearly and unequivo cally expressed, und so ably and Micccssfully main tained on the occasion, to the calm conflideration nnd unprejudiced judgments of the rnapsos of lire people of all political parties. Wc would have thorn “read, reflect and inwardly digest”—we would ask them to vvoigli their merits in tho scales of un- hiitKod judgment, nssay them in the crucible of re flection, and determine, in a spirit of enlightened patriotism, whether they uro constitutional, just, right, and deserving of ilreir approbation. Exclusive of the f l ow ng important, and what injy be justly esteemed controlling considerations, to wit: The gro*s and mamfcfctpnjusticc which has nd is continuing to be done, 8cs*ion ufb acres of laflds to tho new, in contravention of the just rights of the old, and tire inestimable benefits which their equitable proportion would confer upon them, by relieving thou) from the burdens of oppressive tax ation, and by enabling them to dovolop their rich resources, we would usk them to determine wheth er lire policy advocated by President Buchanan is not right and proper, constitutional, expedient uutl just per se. -— *•- Washington.—Among the books in the library of Georqo Washington, «l tire time of his death, way tire “ Poetical Works of William Preston, Esq.,” u work published in Dublin in 1793.
