’Tis inidit iqlit! on the azure skies
'J he stars their patient vigils keep ,*—
111 deep repoie all isature lies,
But i, ala ;! I cannot sleep!
I mourn for thee, o h ! dearest one,-
Who to mine early life was given,
Mv beauteous wife, who now ait gone
T v nur se our baby born iu heaven.
I see thee still, as on that night—
. That night of yntpjd agony- -
Which, in its dark yet rapid flight,
Bore thee and hope away from me.
I see thee now 7 ! thy visage sw'cet,
Thy hair with roses intertwined—
More lovely in thy winding sheet
Than aught w..ich death had left behind.
I thought of when that geutle brow
Wore roses to the bridal shrine,
And those dear lips so silent now,
.Moved to the Vows tl.a.^ made thee mine
I called oil thee, w : iih frantic tone—
And oh! could angels speak to men,
I know, my beautiful, my own,.
I know, that thou liad’st spoken then!
To s y that sit'll, in that bright sphere
, ISerenely blest of God above,
Thy gentle spirit held him dear,
Whose grief was boundless as his love
And w aiting there until lie came,
The mother’s heart would-still rejoice
To teach her babe bis father’s name, .
YVho never heard that father's voice.
The dreaded hour had come !—they bid
Me look upon thee for-the last!
I saw them close- the coffin lid,
I heard them as they made it fast!
I saw them low'er that coffin down,
And place thee, dearest, wlieie thou art
And still I lived! my heart beat on !
A beating but a broken heart 1
And 1 have lived! and I still live !
To learn w'ith every troubled breath,
That 1 have suffered and survive.
A something worse than human death !
My angel wife ! afar from thee
1 count the d lys, the moments even !—
Thou wert the nope of earth to me,
And hope has follow ed thee to heaven!

CIRCUIT COURT—JUDGE BAKER PRESIDING.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Margaret Don.
glas w 7 as arraigned before this Court, on a
charge of teaching negro children to read
and write, contrary to the statute iu such
cases made and provided, and against the
croach upon the prerogatives hitherto re
served to coats and pantaloons^ was visible
upon every countenance. The jury bad no
sooner been empauneled than the lady,
without waiting for ihe examination of wit
nesses, or the opening remarks of the attor
ney for the Commonwealth, proceeded in a
clear and melodious voiee to the considera
tion of the charges set forth in the indict
ment.
The surprise of the whole legal fraternity
was so great, at this sudden revolution iu
the tiuie-houored practice of the Courts,
t hat she had progressed; cons'.derably into
the merits of the case, before his honor re
covered himself sufficiently to inform her
that it would be more regular to. susp.nd
her remarks, until after the examination of
witnesses w;as concluded. The lady readi
Iv assented to the proposition of bis honor,
and the witnesses for the Corameinveahh
w'eie called to the stand. By then testimo
ny, it appeared that, some mouths ago, in
formation reached his : honor, the Mayor, Si
mon S. Stubbs, Esq., of a school for the ed
ucation of blacks, being in successful opera
tion iii the city of Norfolk, under the super
ihfeudence of Mrs. Douglas. A. warrant
was immediately issued, with directions to
the officers to bring all parties concerned
before him, in order”that the matter might
be investigated. Upon repaying to the res
idence of Mrs. Douglas, the officers found
some eighteen qr twenty youthful desceiid-
ehts of ilam engaged iu literary puisuits,
all of whom, with their teachers, Mrs Dou
glas and her daughter, Were taken into cus
tody, nnd carried to the Mayor’s office. Af
ter a full investigation of-ihe matter, hfs
honor decided to dismiss the complaint iu
order that a Grand J ury might have an op :
portuuity of giving it consideration. At
the meeting of the Grand J ury a true bill
was found against Mrs. Douglas and her
daughter, but the latter having previously
gone to New Yorir, process could hot be
served upon her. On the part of the de
fence, the lady examined several prominent
and respectable gentlemen, members of the
m.nir.li frir slip nurnose of showing that the i
A Model Love Letter.
- We have, frequently seen literary genius
displayed in a variety of forms,. but never
in a more remarkable manner than in the
foi I lowing:
To miss '
The great love I have hitherto expressed
for you is false, and I find my indiference
towards yon increases daily. The morel
see you the more you appear an object of
contempt.—1 feel- myself every way dispos
ed and determined to hate you. Believe me
I never had any intention to offer you my
hand. Our last conversation has left a
tedious insipidity, which has by no rneaas
given me the most exalted idea of your
character.—YourA temper will make me
exremely unhappy; and if we are united, I
shall experience nothing but the hatred of
my parents added to everlasting displeasure
in livihg with you. I have indeed a heart to
bestow, but I do not desire you to imagine
it at your service. I could not give it to
any one more -inconsistent and capricious
than vourself, and less capable to do honor
to my choice and family.—Yes, Miss I hope
yon will bepersuaded that I speak sincere-?-
Iv, and you will do me the favor to avoid
me.I shall excuse you taking the trouble to
answer this. Your letters are al ways full
of impertinence, and you have not a shad
ow of wit and good sense. Adieu! adieul
believe me so averse to you, that it L impos-
ible for me even to be your most affection
ate friend ar.d humble servant. S -
‘The Squire's Story.'— 1 Oh!’ says the
Squire, Twish’t I was married and w 7 ell of
it, / dread it powerful. I’d like to marry
a widow'; I alters liked widows since I know-
ed one down in Georgia that suited my
ideas, adzactly. \
‘About a week after her Ijusband died,
she started down to the graveyard, where
lliev'd buried him, as she said, to .read the
prescription onto his monument. When
she got there, she stood a minute looking
at the stones which was put at each end of
the grave, with an epithet on ,em that the
minister had writ for her. ‘Oh ! boo-hoo,’
says she,‘Jones—he was ope of the best
of men; i remember bow the last time he

down from town some sugar, and a little tea
and some store goods, foa me, and lots of
little necccssaries, and a little painted boss

then lie kissed the children all around, and
took down that good old fiddle of his’n and
played up that^good old tune,

dance,, and I just thought she was the
greatest woman ever I did see.’
Brutal Murder at Niagara Falls.—By
the Lock port Courier,, we learn that a most
horrible murder was committed near tba

was charged with stealing some money from

tioned by the customs of the members of
the diffent Churches in the city in having
Sunday Schools exclusively for that purpose.
It did not ajipear from the evidence of any of
the gentlemen called upon by Mrs. Dougins,
that they had actually seen negroes taught
frpm books in any ot the Sunday Schools of
the city,, but the fact, as slated by them,
that nearly all the negroes'attending the
Sunday Schools could read, gave lise toavi-
qlent suspicion that many of the ladies, and
gentlemen ofour city, moving in tiie higher
circles of society, had been guilty of its fla
grant a violation ot the law, as could be im
puted to Mrs. Douglas and her daughf :r.
At the conclusion*of the evidence, the at
torney for the Commonwealth kindly gave
way, for Mrs. Douglas to” continue her ap
peal to the" Jury, which was done on the
part of that lady, in a manner, that would
have reflected credit on Miss Lucy Stone,
or any other member of the “strong minded”
sisterliood. She disdained to .deny the
charge preferredZigairist her or to sliirk -the
responsibility in any way whatever, but
<>loried in the philanthropic duties in which
shehad.been engaged. She denied, how-
eyer, auy knowledge of. the existing laws
upon the subject and confidently expected
t hat the Jtiry would not pr.onounce her gulf-
ty. for having committel uo other offence
than that of being betrayedjintoerror—it

Optics Keen.-?-The New York Mirror
says a drunken .man lately conducted
through Brpadway by his wife, a lady whose
countenance was concealed by a ‘ very thick
veil.” He, says the Mirror, “looked like a
foolish brute, with tiie disgusting tobacco

The Paris papers speak of the new Pa
risian dUh. fried rattlesmkes, as a novelty
of their own invention. It is not. In the.

sured by one who sewed iu that war, that
the rattlesuake is delicious in| the estreiftQj
surpassing even that of the frog, both iff
flavour and delicacy of texture.
