All day, with folded hands, she sit* apart From the wild, gibbering group within thecdl, The snowy muslin o’er her broken heart la never purer than her spirit’s wells- ■-i •'* And in her thralled eyes, so strangely dark, Broodeth a spell. You would not deem her crazed— too much of poaoc Drops on her face its holy-fingered calm; And with tho sad years of her life's increase Her clouded soul drinks in new healing holm! Waiting with trust till angels’ bands shall bring •■UY ■- m The victor’s palm. Yon sigh —l smile. I know she’s hippier now Thun when, in girlhood, scores knelt at her shrine; When glow-lug sonnets praised her regal brow, And In her honor slewed the ruby wine — And high-born peers and nobles loudly swore She was divine! Then she walked proudly through bar fothcr’s balls, A thing of gorgeuiie loveliness and life ; Burning all hearts With her wild passion-falls, And languorous ripeness in her being rife ! Waking a yearning In the Duke’S proud heart To call her wife. Titles and wealth won not her envied loveiy- < Men called her like tho diamond— bright and cold; But in herself she was a free, irane dove, Too noble to be cither bought or sold Scorning to barter her wido wealth of heart jj.-i.i-- For earthly gold,. Man may love beauty, fortune, Wit, or sense, And love again his first iove’s sutipode i But woman, with her be jpg >tun>ppcfl intense, Lqvfefc notbyrtiwMfrfeonvcnient, reasoning code, Bat him for whom her life goes out in flo.xla— The Nile o'ei flowed,’ This woman loved her page; a calm-faced youth, With earnest soul looking out through his eyes, And forehead holy with the glow of truth, And soft hair goldened by the tropic skies; And he loved her as the Mohamedaii Loves Paradise. The first awakening ! on bei soft, wife breast The boy!a head rested. On her moist, red lips The long, rich kiss of bursting lore be pressed, And envied not the king his nectar-sips ; For her warm breath put the whole range of joys ’ In dark eclipse. But ah ! tho page writhes in her blessed embrace ! A far-off gleaming settles in bis eyes, A flush of purple agony creep* o’er his face. One last, long look-dead in her arms he lies! Murdered by a cursed rival, who gloats long O'er his death-sighs! No more the light of reason crowns her brow— A meek and harmless nothingness is hers ; She sits all day making u lover’s vow, Beneath the shadows of tho mourning firs; t No flow er, no gem, no kinsman's soothing face Her heart prefers. Thy call her crazed The dread Asylum’s walls Hold her for the brief time she has to wait, Ere from the tbroued calms of Heaven’s high halls A summons comes to join her riaen mate! Till in the Day of Judgement he shall meet her At the Gate t IHkcllaneous. A STORY OF FEMALE HEROISM. In the course of n recent speech in Con gress, by the Hon. Joseph Lane, of Oregon, he related the following incident, which oc curred in the Indian war of Oregon. While in Oregon last 6timmer I took oc casion to inquire of the Chief, who was main ly instrumental in getting up this war, to learn the particulars of the fate of some of our people who disappeared in the war of 1855, and of whom we have been able to learn nothing. When I suggested to the Agent, in the council, that I proposed to inquire into the fate of Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Haynes, and oth ers, Jie was inclined to think it would raise the bitter feelings of the Indians, but said that we could make the inquiry. I told him that I had passed through the country where these people had lived and that their friends were very anxious to learn their fate. We inquired in relation to Mrs. Wagner who was a well educated and handsome woman from New York, who had lived long in the country, and spoke the ludian tongue flu ently. She kept a public house by the roadside, and the good cheer which she always furn ished, made it a place travelers delighted to 6top at. The Indians informed us that on the morniug of the 9th of October, they came in sigbth k>f tho house, where they met some teamsters and packers, a portion of whom tbey murdered, destroying tbeir wagons and cargoes, as well as the animals, while she was standing in the door. >T As soon as they had munrdered the people outside; they came towards the house which was strongly built of hewn logs and bad a heavy doftr which fastened with croßsbws. W hen she saw them running toward* the house she shut the door and dropped the bars to prevent their coming in. They came to the door and ordered her to come out and bring her little girl. She said.” no.” Her husband was absent—and by the way he was the only man on that road who es caped. ‘I hey said that if she did not come out they would shoot her. She declined and alter some deliberation, they determined to set the honse on fire. The house was direct ly enveloped in flames; and the Chief who watched her through a little window, told me'tliat be saw her go to the glass and arrange heir hair, then take a seat in the middle of the room, fold her little girl in her arms, and wait calmly until the roof fell in, and they pciished in the flames together. And the statement was confirmed by the people who found their remains lying together in the mid dle of tho houso. True for Once.—A traveler announces a* a fact (and, though he is a “ traveler,” we believe him) that he once in his life beheld people “minding their own business!” This remarkable occurrence happened at sea—the passengers being “ too sick” to attend to each other’s concerns. Lord Erskine gave a very lively illustra tion of the text” Union is strength,” when ho said of a place where he had slept very ill one night, that “if the fleas had been any thing like unanimous, they would have lifted him out of bed!” ‘ From the Arkansas Democrat. A BICHtCJCHS UT A ODBC VS. Some time since a rich Kane occarrod in a neighboring town, which, as they say about rnltwffid accidents hnd steamboat collisions, ” boggnr’s description.” Those of our rea ders who have attended the circus will recol lect having seen an amnsing< masquerade on acted, in which tho only characters arc the ring masters and one of the porformers—the latter making liis appearance in ragged, un couth npparei and apparently severely afflic ted with ardent spirits, and insisting upon the priviligo of taking a ride. The littg-fnnstof remonstrates (as the piece goes) and insists upon the inebriated individ ual leaving the ring;; bet finally compromis es the matter with him, and h<j ia allowed to mount nud try bis hometnaiiship. After playing the “ drunk” awhijo, he sud denly throws off Dis rn£s, and Is metamor phosed into an Indinn paddling bis canoe, and then to a Kiiig,dtc.,until he goes through a scries of characters'. This much by way of explanation; now Ito onr tale, which, by the way, is true, in eveiy particular. (Zn the occasion refermd to, the drunken man appeared iu tho ring aud expressed a de sire to ride. The ring-master remonstrated, and flic two seemed likely to liave a serious difficulty. At tliis juncture tho high sheriff of the county, who was among the specta tors, fearful that tho performance in which he seemed intensely interested, was to be in terrupted, and being a valorous and efficient officer, ever ready to throw himself into tho breach when peace was threatened, in the discharge of what lie conceived to be his sol emn duty, f Jin laid his official bauds upon the intru der, as lie, in his unsophisticated heart, sup posed the former, and in dignified but firm language,ordered him to ‘ vamouse the ranch.’ To tliis the actor of course demured, but the sheriff was not to be trifled with. Me was discharging a solemn duty, and that too,with the eyes of a thousand or two of liis constit uents fastened on him. lie was not the man to flihdi under any circumstances, much less such as thcs'c. With becoming prompt noes, therefore he laid violent hands upon the intruder with the view of subjecting him to a summary mint. Hut unfortunately, the arm of tkt> hnv, ho wever violently supported, is not al ways the strongest. Mr. Sheriff was surpris ed that lie should fall in handling a drunken man ; but so it was. The man was too much for him, again and again as lie renewed his attack, he came to a horizontal position, with Saw dust for his pil low. During this time the condition of the large nudienco can be better imagined than described We are told that, such convul sions of laughter were never heard before.— The noise and din could be heard nearly as far as a powder houso explosion. But our friend, the sheriff, as we before said, was a discriminating man, and he resolved to try the last experiment. Finding his ragged customer most too good a wrestler he turned to the audience, and by virtue of bis ofikhal function ; he at once commenced summoning a poose to bis aid.— After lie had enlisted about a dozen able-bod ied men, and everything -was ready for an at tack the ring-master stepped forward and ex plained to him that liis services would not be required further ; he had acted his part ad mirably, and at any future time he would not hesitate to give him a re-engagement: in short, that the supposed intrnder was a bona fide actor, and that the drank was only put = dtn — r~ —is ~ Our friend, the slieiiffi was sold, lock, stock and barrel, and the suddenness with which be disappeared from the crowd was amusing. The balance of the performance was stale — the cream hnd been taken off and left only the skim milk. After tho performance was over, the sher iff sought out the ring master, aud offered bim an apology for interrupting his perform ance, protesting that be did it with the best intentions and under a total misapprehension of the state of the case. ’ -X Tho ring-master assured tho sheriff that there was no harm done, bo had noticed him (the sheriff) ifi the crowd, and bad directed the actor to get close to him. rightly judging that lie was the only man green enough in the audience to bite at so stale a bait. AH INVIDIOUS COMPLIMENT. With the reckless partisanship character istic of its conduct, the New York Herald positively asserts that “ the Government de ficit, which is the crowning embarrassment of the Administration at the presont crisis, is a legacy from l'ieacc and Fillmore.” The truth is, that when Mr. Pierce retired from office, he left a surplus in the treasury to tho amoupkpf twenty-odd millions of dollors, and that, too, after discharging millions of the public debt. Y> itb all our solicitude for the success of this Administration, we will not submit to have it praised at the expense of its prede cessor. Indeed wc can wish Mr. Buchanan no greater triumph than to resign the reins of power under the same ciicmnstauces of pros perity which the cquntry enjoyed at his in auguration.—llichnu/nd South. S ‘ Legislative Cobuuption. —ln a debate in the Senate, Mr. Toombs said : “We speak of the corruptions of Mexico, of Spain, of France, and other (lovci&ments, with a great deal of truth, according to all accounts; but from my experience and ob servation, which have been somewhat exten sive, Ido not believe to-day that there is as corrupt a Government under the heavens as these United States. Mr. Hale. Nor I cither. Several SouStor*. I agree to that. ” Mr. Toombs. And most of all its corrup tion, is in its legislative department.” A Qckotiunablk Compliment,—The Clinton Courier, in noticing Ira D. Brown, the very clover local editor of the Hexald, says ; ” Mr. Biown is a dear thinker, ready and vigorous writer, and a first rate fellow, ti hoof /” * V \ tui urn system a rAH.ru. The Concordia (La.) Intelligencer, aaium ing from rrcent experience that the levee •ytten ia totally inadequate to protect the etfuatfy bordering on the Mieslssippi from In* mutation, recommend* it* abandonment and substitution of the policy of opening wst* lota and dividing oat the arater among a number of channel*. It say*. i wit We have shown from oefnat experience, the impracticability of.elevating tbe water above tbo love! of the comtrj. We have proven that the danger become* more imni nent every year. Wo now propose to dis cum tbo propriety of opening, widening and deepening every outlet, and in that way lowering the water level, and k| that extant elevating a portion of the country above the lightest stage of water. Let the outlets and bayous be levied and the flood would, be equalised. Let us, if possible, incyease the velocity of the stream where it can be done without too much injury, by making more direct channels for the water. The Stiff of Mexico is tbe receptacle and we should be* pin at that point. Every bayou shoptd bo improved, and its capacity for carrying water increased as mueb as possible. We should embrace all the rivers of the State, in the plan of operations. If the channels are made to carry off their water, the navigation will be improved. Wo are aware of the opposi tion to every scheme to lower the water level on account of tho great injnry to navigation. Grant that oar business season will be a few weeks shorter and onr stamps will be re claimed, which now act as reservoirs and keep up the river during the summer. Will wo not be compensated hundred fold T The wealth of our State would be doubled, and the health of our people greatly improve cd. Railroads would be built and our peo ple would suffer but little inconvenience.— Shreveport would be benefitted by tbe change. It is true that the water level du ring a flood Would be several feet lower, yet it would be the seme in low water. Waste gates could be constructed at the mouths of these bayous, and tho water confined within the channel in summer. The lakes would be drained and a vast amount of territory would be reclaimed if the plan was carried , out. If tbe season for large boats was shor ter, small boats might run as long as they do at present. Levees could be made on the bayous and the back lands might be cultiva ted. The front landa would not require le vees and our Red River planters would be almost secure from overflows. We have made many steamboats on the assumption that the experiment should prove successful. We advocate the polity of open ing outlets and throwing tbe water into dif ferent channels. Nature and the .laws of ’ gravitation will indicate the eonrse to be pur, sued; let os follow these indications and re move the impediments to the onward prog ram of the waters. Let ns'depress the water and elevate the laud. Let us use both le vees and outlets—they should bo used ia combination. They are not antabonistic, but would operate harmoniously and successfully. From s French Journal. THE DUELLO. “The duel was sn improvement upon barbarism; it replaced assassination ; it sub stituted tbe eombat for the ambuscade; it in troduced justice and loyalty into murder.- The duel was a conquest of justioe over force. “ In all militant professions, and especial ly that of the journalist, the duello is some times both an obligation and a necessity. It is good, it is useful, it may be even imuspen sable, in certain circumstances, for tbe journ alist to write with a pen of steel, and to sign his opinion with his blood. “ Once, at least, in Itis life-time, the man who speaks, and the man who writes, should Erovo his willingncM to venture bis all for is convictions. He must show that he is ready to answer for his opinions with bis life, his fortune, and his honor. It O’Connell towered into a giant on tbe day that he pre sented himself on the ground with an un covered breast. i “The duel certainly does not prove any thing. No person cau dispute the justice of Rousseau's argument: 4 IfI am accused of . killing ono man, shall 1 slay a second iu or | der to prove that I did not kill the first V Yet, although it does not prove the excel lence of the cause, the duel is a proof of tbo man that sustains it. The-public, which is in the habit of judging that which it dsns I not see by that which it does see, will judge the cause by the man that defends it. It is tbe steadfastness of the apostle that creates the adhesion of tbe disciple, and the conver , sion of tbe incredulous. “ The duel might be said to servo in the moral as those enormous weiguta which are used to test the strength of buildings do in tho physical. It is wise to try the bridge, but to continue the proof would be felly and . ruin. - There are circumstances where a man should bare his bosom to tho point, of tho sword, or the ball of a pistol; but; ho must not play with these dangers, for we P must not tempt God. I “ Such is our opinion of the dnol. Yet, let us say in conclusion, that in order to avoid the contempt which is attached to the poltroon, it is not nocessary to incur that which belongs to tbe bully. Immerse a sword in water and it is strengthened, but let it remain here and it is rusted.” The less you lease yoar children when yon die, the more they will have twenty years afterwards. Wealth inherited should be the incentive .to exertion. Instead of that, “it is the little deed to sloth. ” The only money that does a man good is what be earns himself. A ready-made fortune, like ready made dotbes, seldom fits tbe man who comes in possession. Ambition, stimulated by hojtffl and a half-filled purse, has a power that will triumph over all difficulties, beginning with the rich man’s contumely, and Wring o ff with the envious man’s malice, A punter says, “ my name is Somerset, I am a miserable baclielor. I esnnot many, for hour could I hope to ptovail on any young lady, possessed of the slightest notions of delicacy, to turn a turner tit.
