I LOVED THEE.
I loved thee when the rose bloomed on thy check.
And lie’e fair morn in glowing hope was dress'd;
I loved thee more than words or longuescao speak;
_ Thou wert my bosom’s shrined and hallowed guest;
Say not. Oh! say not, Tin:e con ever see
My heart’s true pulse forget to beat for thee.
1 loved thee when the rose had fled thy cheek,
And early grief planted the lily there; a
I loved thee—and still dared that love to speak—
When sorrow tibged with snow thine auburn hair;
Say not, Oh ! say not. Time did ever see
My heart’s true pulse less warmly beat for thee.
I loved thee in thy Spring-time'# blushing hour—
I loved thee in thy Summer’s ripened noon ;
I loved thee in the blossoms, bod and flower,—
The tear* of April, aod the smiles of June;
Fear not, then feai not, wintry hours will see
The heart grow cold that bents for tbee.

A GERMAN HEROINE.
It was the year 1832, towards the close of
November; a light snow, mingled with sleet,
was whirled about by the wind, and pierced
through every crevice of a liltlfe. roadside inn
situated between Hornberg and Rottwell, on
the frontiers of tho duchy of Baden.
Two travellers, driven by the bad weather
to the shelter of this humble hostelry, were
forgetting their hunger and weariness in the
comforts of a hearty repast of smoked beef.-
The hissing and roaring of a large stove con
trasted agreeably in the traveller^ ears with tbe
loud moaning of the north wind without, and
disposed them still more to the enjoyment of
the good things within.
The innkeeper and his wife had, for their
only domestic, a young girl of Badenj whom
they had brought up from childhood. Kettrel,
for such was her name, was 1 host in herself;
housekeeper and maid to her mistress, cook in
the kitchen, vuletde chambre to the stray visi
tants in tho one best room, and groom in the
stable—tho hardy, active, and good humoted
German girl fulfilled all the duties usually
shared by u large establishment of servants.
Teu o’clock struck, and the travellers hav
ing finished their supper, drew nearer to the
group which had collected round the stove—
Fnther IIofTkirch, the minister, their host, and
soma neighbors who had entered by chance.
Toe conversation turned on the fearful and
murderous events of which tho neighboring for
est had been the scene, and each one had his
own story to tell, sut passing the rest in horror.
Father Hofikirch was ambhg the foremost in
terrifying his audience by the recital of differ
ent adventures, all more cr less tragical. The
worthy father had just finished a horrible story
of' robbers—quite a chef d'ctuvre in its way.
The scene eftho legend was little more than a
gun shot from the inn door, it was a tradition,
unfortunately; but an ancient gibbet,- which still
remained on the identical spot, gave to the
narration an air of gloomy verity, which no one
dared to question. This place was, in truth,
made formidable throughout the province as
being, it was said, the rendezvous of a troop of
banditti, who held thero every night their niys
terious meetings. All the guests were still un
der the influence of the terror which the story
of Father Hoffkirch had caused, when one of
the travellers before mentioned, offered to bet
two ducats that no one dared to set off at that
moment to the fattl spot, and trace with char
coal a cross on the gibbet. The very idea of
such ' a proposition increased the fear of the
company. A long silence wag their only re
ply. Suddenly the young Krettel, who was
quietly spinning in a corner, rose up and ac
cepted the bet, asking her master’s consent at
same time. He and his good wife at first re
fused, alleging the loneliness ofthe place, in
case of danger; but the fearless damsel persist
ed, and was at last suffered to depart.
Krettel only ■ requestd that the inn-door
should be left open until her return; and taking
a piece of charcoal; to prove on the morrow
that she really had visited the spot, she rapidly
walked towards the gibbet. When close beside
it, she started, fancying she heard a noise; how
ever after a moment of hesitation, she stepped
forward ready to take Bight at the least dan
ger. The noise was renewed, Krettel listen
ed intently, and the sound of a horse’s feet
struck upon her ear. Her terror prevented
her at first frond seeing how near it was to her;
but the next moment she perceived that the ob-

length} at tast, after a few important questions,
the traveller desired the girl to bring him a bot
tle of wine. Krettel ro-<: to obev ; but on reach
ing the cellar, found that the stranger had fol
lowed her; and turning round, she saw the glit-
ter of a pistol handle through his vest. Her
presence of miud did not fail at this critical mo.
menf. When they hud reached the foot of tho
steps, she suddenly extinguished the light, and
stood up close against the wall: the man mut
tering imprecations, advanced a few steps, gro
ping his v. ay. Krettel, profiling bv this mo
ment, remounted the steps, agile and noiseless,
clo.-ed and bolted the door upon the pretended
traveller, and then barricaded herself securely
in an upper chamber, there to await her mas
ter's arrival.
Krettel had rot been many minutes enscon
ced in her retreat, when a fresh knocking re
sounded at thp inn door, and she perceived there
two ill-looking men, who asked her xvhat had
become of a traveller who had been there a
short time before. From their description of
his appearance, the young girl immediately dis-‘
covered that the person sought for was the stran
ger whom she had locked in the cellar; never
theless, she thought it most prudent to inako
ito admission on the subject. On her refusing
their request to open the door.' the two men
threatened to scale the wall. The poor girl
trembled with fear; her courage was nigh de
serting her, for sire knew they could easily ac-
c mtplish their project by means of the iron bars
fixed to the windows of the lower story. In
this perplexity Krettel looked around her, and
her eye fell upon a musket which hung from
the wall, a relic of her master’s younger days.
She seized it, and pointing it out of the window,
cried out that she would fire on the - first man
who attempte^to ascend. ■ i» 4
The two robbers—for that such they wero
could no longer be doubted—struck dumb at
the sight of firearms where,expecting no resist
ance, they had brought no weapons, and con
founded by such intrepidity, went away utter
ing the most fearful menaces, and vowing to re
turn again in greater force. In epite of her
terror, our heroine remained ‘firm at her post.
An hour passed away in this critical position :
at last the girl perceived her master and his
friends coming in sight, ’accompanied by the.
burgomaster and some officers.; 1 '•) >
The brave Krettel rushed to the door, and
her fear, amounting almost to despair, gavd
place to the liveliest joy. To the wonder and
admiration cf all, she related what had happen
ed ; the burgomaster especially lavished on
her the warmest praise for her heroic conduct.
The officers went in search ofthe robber whom
Krettel had imprisoned with so much address
and presence of mind. After a'Sharp resistance;
he wa3 bound and secured, and soon after rec
ognized as the chief of a band of robbers who
had for some time spread terror over the coun
try. His men, wandering'about without a cap
tain, were quickly either taken or dispersed.—
The burgomaster decided that the horse, and
the valise, which contained a great number of
gold pieces, should be given to the young Kret-'
tel, whose courgage had so powerfully contrib
uted to rid the country of banditti who had in-
fested it for so long a time.
ject of her fear was fastened to th9 gibbet itself.
She took courage, darted forward, and traced
the cross. At the same instant the report of a
pistol showed her that she had been noticed.
By a movement swift as thought, she unloosed
the horse, leapt on the saddle, and fied like
lightning. She was pursued; but, redoubling
her speed, she reached the inn-yard, called out
to them to close the gate and fainted away.
When the brave girl recovered, she told her
story, and was warmly congratulated on her
courage and presence of mmd. All admired
the horse, which was of striking beauty. A
Bina'I leathern valise was attached to its caddie;
but Father Hoffkirch would not suffer it to be
opened, except in the presence of the burgo
master.
On the morrow, which was Sunday, the inn
keeper, his wife, and Iheir guests, all set off to
the neighboring town, where they intended, af
ter service, to acquaint the burgomaster with
the last evening’s adventure. Kettrel lefl
sole guardian of the house, was advised not to
admit any one until her master’s return. Many
a girl would have trembled at being left in such
a situation; but this young servant maid watch
ed the party disappear, fearlessly set about her
household duties, singing with a clear voice
some pious hymn which her kind mistress had
taught her.
An hour had scarcely passed by when there
came a knock at the outer door ; it was a trav
eller on horse back, who asked leave to rest for
a little. Krettel at first refused ; hut on the
promise ofthe cavaliertliat he would only break
fast and depart, she agreed to admit hint; be
sides the man was well dressed and alone, so
there seemed little to fear from him. The
stranger wished himself to take the horse to the
stable, and remained a long time examining and
admiring the noble steed which had arrived the
previous evening in a manner so unexpected.
While broakfastingj'he asked many questions
about the inn and its owners ; inquired whose
was tbe horse that that had attractsd his aiten-
tion so much, and, in short, acted so success
fully that the poor girl, innocent of all deceit,
told her late adventure, and ended by confess
ing that she was all alone. She felt immediate
ly felt a vague sense of having committed some
imprudence, for the stranger listened to her with
ingular attention, and seemed to take greater
merest than simple curiosity in what she w as
saying. ^ V- £e3''4NL

THE SLAVE QUESTION.
Every body, says the Washington Fountain,
seems now to consider the permanent ocquisi*
tion of territory from the dominions of Mexico
as an event which only awaits the forms of %
treaty, but it is equally evident to all that tho
slave question must be disposed of satisfactori
ly to the North, South and West, before that ac
quisition will be assented to by Congress. Th®
ideu appears to be rapidly gaining ground a-
mong members of the Senate, that there is a
middle-ground on which * all parties can meet
for the safe and peaceful adjustment ofthis ve.v-.
ed question ; and that is—to permit the inhabi
tants ofthe hot regions, in which sugar, cotton,
coffee, &c., are grown, to establish without re;
siriction such institutions within their limits as
they may be pleased to adopt, but lo' excluda
forever involuntary servitude from the tempe
rate and cold countries, or table and mountain
lands. In this way slavery would be hn appur-
lenance to climate and not to.arbitrary geo
graphical limits; a distinction that could bo
easily observed in the territoay of Mexico, di-
vided as it is on its surface into steeps, whose
temperature ranges from tropical to arctic cold
on the same parullel of latitude. • • »
THE PALMETTO REGIMENT.
fl^Tho following was the address made to
Col. Butler by the Mayor of Charleston, thi
lion. Leger Hutchinson, on the presentalion cf
the City Banner to the Palmetto Regiment:—
Col. Butler—As the organ of the City Coun
cil of Charleston, the honor, devolves on me to
present in their behalf, through you, to the
South Carolina Regiment of Volunteers, this
Stand of Colors.
Peace and the blessings that multiply around
it, Jmvefor years overshadowed our land; but
the recent violation of the respect held sacred
by nations, has determined the General Gov-,
eminent to assert its rights by an appeal to
arms. . 1 » %
South Carolina meets the call, as she ever
has done in the hour of need, with characteris
tic promptness; from ihe sea board to the tnoun-
tains her men have risen up—-.stirred by one
emotion—and forsaking the allurments of home
and the profitable pursuits of life, have come
foilh to light in defence of their-common coun
try.
The motto that glitters in the sunlight from
this Banner, “Not.for ourselves we conquer,
but our country,” covers every heart here.prei
ent—and the Palmetto, device of our State,
now quivering its.mimic leaves above us, finds-
in this serried array,.men like itsclfj.rigid, Jinw.
enduring. 1
Sir, vve present you this Standard—whether
its destiny >hall be to wave amid the din and
ro tr of battle, “streaming like a-thunder storm
against the wind,”—or whether, under the dir
rection of a benignunt Provideece, tranquilly
to slumber in its tolds,—We ate satisfied that in
tiie grasp of Carolinians, honor and. bravery id
their highest acceptation will ever encirle the
Emblem of Liberty,* that surmounts its staff;
Into your hands, sir, 1 now resign it, believing
that under your control und that of your bravg.
Officers, u heneyer opportunity is afforded, it
will be found among the first uj o.; the battle
field—the .aM to leave it.
