Far from the world’s ensnaring toils, Where fashion spreads no gilded net, In native innocence and smiles, This kind and artless Maid I met, The Maid who held the cup to me. The lovely Maid of Cherokee. 'The hue ot health, and grace of youth, Her form and face alike adorn : Her eyes, replete with love and truth, Shine pure as beams of summer morn. The Maid who held the cup to me. The lovely Maid of Cherokee. Those lustrous orbs, and morning’s light, At once unfold their lovely ray, "Tis fit such kindred beams unite, To till with joy the opening day. The Maid who held the cup to me. The lovely Maid of Cherokee. And when, at eve, a softer light * Floats calmly on the purple skies, No twinkling star shines half so bright As those w liich sparkle in her eyes. The Maid who held the cup to me, The lovely Maid of Cherokee. Whether across the dewy lawn, Or by the spring her steps I trace, At noon, or eve, or early dawn, She seems the goddess of the place- The Maid who held the cup to me, The lovely Maid of Cherokee. In some secluded vale like this, From, cares, ambition, envy, free, A life with thee, were one of bliss, Thou gentle Maid of Cherokee! The Maid who held the cup to me. The lovely Maid of Cherokee. LIFE. Life! I know not what thou art, But I know that thou and I must part: And when, or how, or where we met, I own to me’s a secret yet. Life! we’ve been long together, Thro’ pleasant and thro’ cloudy weather. ’Tis hard to part when lriends are dear,— Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear: Then steal away, give little warning. Choose thine own time; Say not good night,—but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning. 0 L- A. BarbaI’LD. A DESIRABLE RESIDENCE In Ivlilled.gevill© FOR SALE.

Novel Mode of Concealing a Theft—A Strange Story. A son of “La Perftde Albion” dress ed with scrupulous care, and sporting inevitable fiery-hued whiskers of | dogs ear patera that for the last thirty | or fbrtv years have formed the dislin- ! into one of the principal jewelry ?hops of Palermo, a few weeks ago, and in : spite of the wretched Italian in which he delivered himself, managed to make known his desire of looking over the large assortment of gems ond precious stones that glistened in the windows ■ and show-cases, with word in the ear of one of his clerks,/ger for a frien. who started off in great haste and re turned in a few moments, followed by a police inspector and two patrolmen. Upon their arrival, the diamond still unfound, the jeweler denounced “Mi lord” as having stolen it. The Englishman indignantly denied the charge, but, as he said, to place the matter beyond all doubt, he beg ged that the inspector would search his clothes and person from head to foot, which the officer proceeded to do with out further ceremony. While this op eration was gYmg 011, however, the Englishman, in taking off his coat, made so violent a movement that he dropped 011“ side of his whiskers. “Ah, ha! my tine fellow,that’s your game, is il ?” said the inspector : “I understand you now. Come, for your own sake, make a clean breast of it, ami tell us what you took and where you’ve put it, for I hardly suppose you contented yourself with one diamond.” “1 have taken nothing, and have nothing to tell you. I am at liberty to wear false whiskers if 1 choose, and it is nobody’s business whether I door not.” Although the most minute search proved fruitless, the inspector deter mined to hold the Briton in custody, and marched off with him to the Pre- fectur of Police, on the way to which it so happened, that they passed by an apothecary’s. This circumstance, ap parently too trivial aud unimportant to be mentioned, served to clear up the mystery, for it undoubtedly gave birth to the felicitous inspiration that pro claims the shrewd inspector in whose brain it originated. They reached the Prefecture, where the Englishman was placed in a room under the surveilance of two guards. In the course of a half hour, the In spector made his appearance, and, af ter mentioning to the guards to with draw, seated himself, and entered into friendly conversation with the Eng lishman, to whom he expressed the re gret he fell at having been compelled by his duty to place him at this tempo rary inconvenience, but he doubled not lhai, in the absence of any proof of his guilt, the magistrate before whom he would have to appear the next day, would order him to be set at liberty.— In this view ihe Englishman fully con curred. As they were conversing, the door opened and an attendant came in j bearing a tray laden with refreshments, | among which were two glasses of beer, j One of them the officer took himself j while the other was handed to the un- j suspecting foreigner who, knocking his glass against that of his host iu true I British style, quaffed its contents off at one draught. The mixture was not slow in pro ducing its effect, and the fact was re vealed, that “Milord” had swallowed besides the diamond that was missing, three other diamonds of the purest wa- siitfer him to pass Almost at the same instant the door of the apartment the lady had entered opened, and a youth—apparently a mulatto boy—came out and passed hurriedly through ihe room into the hall, and from thence into the streel. Il was,no doubt,the messenger,I thought, and I picked up a book and commenc ed reading. Nearly an hour passed, and still the lady did not make her ap pearance, nor did the hov return. The friend she had sent for must live at some distance, I thought, or the lady is unusually careful about her toilet; and so another hour went by. At last I grew impatient and knocked at ihe door, “Madam I can wail no longer.” There was no reply. I knocked re peatedly and at last determined to ioree an entrance. Strange fears hur- rassed me ; I began to suspect l knew, not what. Il look bul a moment to /companion, walking backward, drew forth a cord of silk, twenty yards in length. But this was not all the dis charge, for the juggler, with his hands behind his bad;, threw forth from hi* mouth, two decantur stoppers, two shells, a spinning lop, a sione, and *ev- eral other things followed by a long jet of lire. — % .

J. HOWARD BROWN, Augusta. Georgia. September 7,1869 * 36 2m the prices he murmured at ; oa the contrary, he expressed his willingness to pay most liberally for his purchases, provided he was successful in procur ing anything he might consider worthy : of a place in the princely gilt which, j he allowed it to be inferred, was in- ! tended as a surprise to some dark-eyed 1 Sicilian beauty- Nothing discouraged . by liie fault-finding propensities of the magnificent foreigner, the worthy tradesman, who was all smiles ami bows, continued his researches, liter ally rummaging dtid ransacking his spacious store, Irom top to bottom, in his effort to do justice to himself by proving bis establishment to be second to none in the beauty, size and variety of the precious metals it contained.— Finally, after a close examination of the numberless diamonds, pearls, ru- j bies, emeralds, turquoises and ame* | thysts that lay heaped upon thecount- ! er, and a lengthy discussion of their qualities and defects, the distingue look ing foreigner succeeded in finding a number that met with his unqualified approval, and, after having put them aside, gave the requisite directions for the manner in which he wished to have them set. The jeweler, rejoiced at the happy termination of so weighty a matter, set to work gathering up his valuable treas ures and replacing them in their cas kets, continuing all the while the con versation with his magnificent patron. As he was engaged in this occupation, his eye happened to fall on a small box filled with diamonds, when he missed a large brilliant which he had held in his hands but a moment before. “My Lord,” he exclaimed, struck with a sudden suspicion, “I just now showed you a diamond of great value. You remember it do you not ? Well, it has di sap pea red !” “What is that to me ?” said the Englishman. “It is this much, that you will not leave here till 1 have found il.” “As for that 1 am in no hurry,” re joined the Englishman,with great com posure. “You mav search me if vou like.” The jeweler, while continuing to look for his diamond, whispered a fore me like a lioness at hay. Ever> then I could not help but note the splen did beauty of this grand lady. Tall and slender, eyes black and flashing, and almost luiid now, the spectacle she presented standing there in the middle of the apartment, was more the appear ance of a queen than a hunted crimi nal. “I must,” I replied. “I do not doubt your innocence; looking in your face it is strage that any one could couple it with guilt. But I am constrained to do my duty, madam, however inimi- cable it may lie to tny feelings. “Will you allow me to change my dress ?” she said in a tone almost pleas ant. The hard lines around the mouth had relaxed, and the passionate glow on the face gave way to a pleasant smile “Certainly, I will wait for you here.” “T wish also to send a messenger for a iriend ; will you permithtm to pass?” “Certainly.” This was tny first interview with Euginia Cornille. I had seen her here fur months, the leader ot our gayest and most fashionable society. In hersplend- ed mansion she dispensed the most pro fuse and elegant hospitality. A Spanish lady—a widow, she had represented herself—and had been a resident here almost a year. No one evei suspected her of being aught than what she seemed, until one day I was ordered to arrest her as a murderess. It was now alleged, said Mr. F.,lhat this young beauty was no other than ihe woman who had poisoned her hus- in Havanna.and fled with all his wealth. An immense reward was offered for her apprehension, and the circumstances that had come to our knowledge, points ed her out beyond all doubt as the per son we were in search of. Yet, had the person who had recognized her the evening before at the theatre, advised us to be careful lest she should escape us. I laughed at the idea. Mr. I. and myself were surely sufficient to arrest a lady. We were old enough in the ways of cunning, to defeat any such attempt. When the lady left me, I stepped to ihe window and said to Mr. I., who was waiting at the door : “The lady desires to send amessen- the ssin to a light delicate brown. I was foiled, for a surity ; the lady had escaped in the disguise of ihe mes senger. 1 should have delected the ruse. I felt humiliated arid determin ed to redress my error. I knew she would not remain in ihe chy an in stant longer than she could get away. I hurried to her bankers ; but found that she had drawn the amount due her an hour before. “Who presented the chad; ?” I ask ed the cletk. “A mulatto boy—it was made pay able to beared There was yet a chance. The French steamer left within an hour ; it was possible she would seek that means of escape. 1 jumped in a oab and ar rived there ten minutes beiore she left the wharf—just in time to assist an j aged, decrepit gentleman into the cab in. There were few passengers ; none ot them answered the description of the person I sought. I stood on the wharf watching the receding vessel un til it disappeared. T was in the act of turning away, when a hackman proached me wiTh the remark ; “Mr. F., did you see that old man on board ; he had a lon-t while beard horrid deed, and iha 1 - on Friday the wife of the murdered man came to the.city to- identify the body. It is stated that when the body had been disinterred, the two accused men were standing by together with the wife and the men who were engaged in disinterring the body. That one of the accused accidentally touched the corpse, when it instantly commenced to bleed profusely, and continued lb do so for some lime ; this, notwiistanding the fact that the body had been buried seveial days. Seeing this, one of the men in whose custody the accused were, turned abruptly to one of them with the remark : “When did you kill that man !” The prisoner looked upon the body, and instantly leplied, “it was about three o’clock in the morn ing-” . This is, in substance, the excitement that is now raging, and taken in con nection with the tidal wave .sensation, almost brings us back to the days of witchcraft and miracles.
