And tangles ar? in my hair. Old folks say 'tis unlucky Por maidens to whistle, still Life is a ragged country, And whistling helps np the hill. And wbener ay heart is happy. A whist) are to slip Cheery, a' A ?ot and mellow, Over n . .y lip. Ho ! maiden with s tiffy manners, And lips looking prim and tart, Far bock in the days of childhood Your teacher was prudish Art. But I went to school to Nature, And e'er in my class stood high 5 The birds, were my merry classmates ; They whistle and why not I ? And what if I sometimes whistlt ? For that will you cry out shame ? For that am I less pure hearted ? Less womanly? much to blame? No ! I'll whistle when I have a mind to, I'll whistle ont loud fcad olear, . I'll whistle up hoffe and courage, And whistle down grief and fear. I'll whiitie when olouds aro murky, And whistle when skies are blue, I'll whistle when friends prove traitors, And whistle when friends prove true. And I'll whistle, and whistle, and whistle, All through the field of oom; I'll whistle at noon and whistle at night, And whistle at early morn. And whistling, whistling, whistling, I'll whistle my own way through. And whist'ing, whistling, whistling, I'll whistle this song at you. Brevities and Levities?

Tho owner was searched for, and discovered suffering from a frightful attack of delirium tramen* and on the verge of the grave. ?&~ A Woman traveling on the cars saw a man in front of her put his head out of the win dow, And asked him if he wouldn't please keep his bead in, as she had a new silk dress on, and didn't want it all spattered up with brains and such stuff. f??r A Bill posted on a wall in a villago in the west of England annonces that " a lecture will be delivered in tho open air, and a collection tiken at the door to defray expensos." ?Sf Scene in the Dayton Police Court-Coun sel says: "Which side of the street do you live on, Mrs. Kippel ?" " On either side, sir. If ye go one way it's on the lott ; if ye go the other way it's on tho right." |gr An exchange says that ono of the mur derers recently hung in Maryland was too drunk to stand. Thus, it will be seen that the example of the Grant Administration has not been lost upon criminals." ??~ An old lady, slightly blind, while engag ed in a futile attempt to sew buttons on a young Augustus's new jaoket, remarked : " Drat these buttons ! I can't find the holes, and they split all to pieces every time I stick the needle into 'em." To which replied young Augustus : " Now, look 'ere, Granny ! you just let my peppermint-drops ^lone. You've split mor'n half of 'em already.'' jgr An Atlanta paper states that a lady of that city, tied her husband's hands and feet to-' gether the other day, just for fun, and went through his pockets for a oortain billet doux, and found it. His physician Informs him that his face will not be badly scarred, though ba may re mata permanently bald. Will Never be Tolerated. The Vicksburg Herald thus disposes of the effort to bring about negro equality in the State of Mississippi : . " The insolent demand of tho negro - members of the Legislature that negroes, with their wires, or those they may call such, shall sit in the rail way cars assigned to ladies and their escorts, may as well bo met at once and promptly ! Radical carpet-baggers and thieves may pass a law de daring that negroes sh all ?it in the same cars with white people, and at tho same tables in ho tels with them, and they may affix what penalty they choose as a punishment for those who deny them thoso seats in the cars or in the hotels, but these laws and penalties will avail nothing. The white men of Mississippi do not propose that Sambo and Dinah shall Bit by their sides or by the side? of their wives and daughters, either in railway carriages or in public hotels, and Sena tors Gray and Gleed, and Mr. Jacob Boss, of the House, may as well understand this at onco. There is no power on earth that can compel our people to this. The army of Grant cannot travel on railway trains to protect negroes in the right to intrude themselves where they are not desired, and where their presence will not be tolerated, and nothing short of this oan ever force our peo ple to submit to the insolent demand fdr social equality with negroes. This attempt of the ne groes will only produce bad biood, a score or so of impudent scoundrels will be killed, a few worth less oarpet-baggors will 'pass in their checks,' and tho knaves and tho fools will then subside. If the negroes aro wiso, they will subside before any of them get hurt !" A New Fashion. A sharp correspondent, who watches New York " society" as a recreation, tells us that another noted innovation is the in tr action of cigarettes for ladies -' * few o' ? fashionable dinners. Coming with tb?, cottee, and on silver salvers lie the dainty little bunches, and white, jeweled fingers hold the fragrant Havanas with noncha lant easo. Twenty years ago only a few married women ventured to dofy conventiality ; but now the various "isms" and the broad sweep allowed to " reason" form a more lax etiquette, therefore wonder ceases and surprise is mute. Neuralgia is tho fashionable epidemic, for the cure of which imoking has been recommonded, therefore, during' the rainy days just past, graceful rings and float ing clouds made the demi jour wax fainter in many luxurious boudoirs. So lovely woman is to solace herself, if sho wishes to be thought fash ionable, by smoking. ^3r* Tho New York Tribune, with unctuous malignancy, avails itself of tho death of Gon. Magruder to indulge in a vindictive and malicious falsification of facts about the private lifo of the lead sol Jier. Magruder had his faults, but slan lering the doad was not one of them. He had nore honor and courage, and did " this nation" nore service in Mcxloo than tho whole tribe of | Tribune vegetarians and free-levers ever did in ill their lives.

The way they celebrate their holidays is one if them. The first thing they do is to pay iff old debts and square accounts to a frac ion. Money matters having been thus ad as ted, they next make up.old quarrel., and ibake hands all round. Having thus got square pecuniarily and socially, they eat, drink and are merry, finally winding up with i sparkling discharge of Chinese fire-crackers. This paying of debts and the making np of quarrels is certainly a good way to begin a celebration of holidays. " Gen.

It is a common practice with .tho; who have outlived the susceptibility early feeling, or have been .brought i in tho ??y^ ?heartlessness, of. dissipate life, to laugh ai all love stories, and i treat the. mik of romantic passion i mere fictions.pf novelists and poets. M observations on human nature have ii duced me .to . think otherwise. The have convinced, me that however ti surface of the character may be chille and frozenly . the cares of the worl or cultivated- into mere smiles by th arte of society, still there are dormar lires lurking in the depths of the cole est bosom/which, when once enkindlec become impetuous and are sometime desolating m their effects. Indeed, am a true believer in the blind deit] and go to .the . full extent of his doc trines. Shall I confess it ? I believ in broken, hearts, and the possibility c dying of ..disappointed love. I do nol however, consider it a malady often fa tal to myv own sex ; but I firmly believ that it withers down many a lovely wo man into att^early grave. Man is th creature offlnterest and ambition. Hi nature lea?fehim forth into the struggl and bustle of the world. Love is bu the embellishment of his early life, o a song piped in the intervals of the acts He seeks foi* fame, for fortune, for spao in the world's thought, and dominior over his fellow men. But a woman' whole life is a history of the affections The heart is her world ; it is there he: avarice seeks for hidden treasures. Shi sends forth^ier sympathies on adven ture; she'embarks her whole soul in the traffic.of affection; and if shipwrecked her case ivhepe1?^-for it is oankrupfc cy of the heart. ? To a man, the disappointment of love may occasion some bitter pangs; il wounds some feelings of tenderness it blasts some prospects of felicity ; bul he is an active being-he may dissipate his thoughts in the whirl of variea oc cupation,'or may plunge into the tide of pleasure; or, if the scene of disap pointment be too full of painful associ ations, he can shift his abode at will and taking as it were the wings of the morning, can "fly to the uttermost parts of the earth," and be at rest. But woman's is comparatively a fix ed, a secluded, and a meditative, life. She is mote the companion of her own thoughts and feelings ; and if they are turned J? /ministers of sorrow ; where shall she look for consolation ? Her lot is to be wooed and won ; and if unhap py in love, her heart is like some for tress that has been captured, and sack ed, and abandoned, and left desolate. How many bright eyes grow dim-how many so tcheeks grow pale-how many lovely forms fade away into the tomb, and none can tell the cause that blight ed their loveliness ! As the dove will clasp its wings to its side and cover and conceal the arrow that is preying on its vitals, so is it the nature of woman to hide from the world the pangs of wound ed affection. The love of a delicate fe male is always shy and silent. Even when fortunate, she scarcely breathes it to herself ; but when otherwise she buries it in the recesses of her bosom and there letsit cower and brood among the ruins of her peace. With her the desire of her heart has failed. The great charm of existencs is at ah end. She neglects allene cheerful exercises which gladden the spirits, quicken the pulser and send the tide of life in healthful currents through the veins. Her rest is broken-the sweet refresh ment of sleep is poisoned by melancho ly dreams-" dry sorrow drinks her blood," until her enfeebled frame sinks under the slightest external injury. Look for her, after a while, and you find friendship weeping over h?r un timely grave, and wondering that one, who but lately glowed with all the radiance of health and-beauty, should so speedily be brought down to " dark ness and the worm." You will be told of some wintry chill, some casual indis? position that laid her low ; but no one knows of the mental malady that previously sapped her strength and made her so easy a prey to the spoiler. She is like some tender tree, the pride and beauty of the grove-graceful in its form, bright in its foliage, but with tho worm preying at its Tieart. We find it suddenly withering, when it should be most fresh and luxuriant. We see it drooping its branches to the earth, and shedding leaf by leaf, until, wasted and perished away, it falls even in the stillness of the forest ; and as we muse over the beautiful ruin, we strive in vain to recollect the blast or thun derbolt that could have smitten it with decay. I have seen many instances of wo men running to waste and self-neglect, and disappearing gradually from the earth, almost as if they had been ex haled to heaven ; and have repeatedly fancied that I could trace their death through the various declensions, of con sumption, cold, debility, languor, mel ancholy, until I reached the first symp tom of disappointed love. But an in stance of the kind was lately told to me ; the circumstances are well known in the country where they happened, and I shall but give them in the man ner in which they were related. Every one must recollect the tragi- ; cal story of young E-*.-, the Irish patriot ; It Was too touching to be soon forgotton. During, the troubles in Ire land he was tried, condemned and exe cuted, on a charge of treason. His fate made a deep impression on public sym pathy. He was so young-so intelli gent-so generous-so brave-so every thing we are apt to like in a young man. His conduct under trial, too, was so lofty and intrepid. The noble 1 indignation with which he repelled the charge of treason against his country the eloquent vindication of his name and his pathetic appeal to posterity, in the hopeless hour of condemnation-all j these entered deeply into every gener- < ous bosom, and vven his enemies la merited the stern policy that dictated his execution. But there was one heart whose an guish it would be impossible to describe, in happier days anet fairer fortunes he had won the affections of a beautiful and interesting girl, the daughter of a late celebrated Irish barrister. She lov ed him with the disinterested fervor of a woman's first and early love. "When levery worldly maxim arrayed itself against him ; when blasted in fortun?, and disgrace and danger darkened around his name, she loved him the more ardently for his very sufferings. If then, his fate could awaken the sympathy even of his foes, what must have been the agony of her, whose whole soul was occupied by his image ! Let those tell who nave had the portals of the tomb suddenly closed between them and the being they loved most on earth-who have sat at its thr?shold, as one shut out in the cold and lonely world, from whence all that was most lovely and loving had departed. But then the horrors of such a grave -so frightful, dishonored ! there was nothing for memory to dwell on that could soothe the pang of separation none of those tender though mel?nchol ly circumstances that endear the part ing scene-nothing to melt sorrow into those blessed tears sent, like the dews of heaven, to revive the heart in the parting hour of anguish. To render her widowed situation more desolate, she had incurred her father's displeasure by her unfortunate attachment, and was an exile from the paternal roof. But could the sympathy and kind offices of friends have reached a spirit so shocked and driven in by horror, she.would have experienced no want of consolation, for the Irish are a people ot quick and generous sensibili ties. The most delicate and cherishing attentions were paid her by families of wealth and distinction. ' She was led into society, and they tried by all kinds of occupation and amusement to dissi pate her grief and wean her from the tragical story of her lover. But it was all m vain. There are some strokes of calamity that scathe and ecorch the soul-that penetrate to the vital sea of happiness-and blast it, never again to put forth bud or blossom. She never objected to frequent the haunts of plea sure, but she was as much alone there as in the depths of solitude. She walk ed about in a sad revery, apparently unconscious of the world around her, She carried with her an inward woe that mocked all the blandishments of friendship, and " heeded not the song of the charmer, charm he ever wisely." 'The persons who told me her story bad seen her at a masquerade. There can be ne? exibition of far gone wretch edness more striking and painful than to meet it in such a scene. To find it wandering like a spectre, lonely and joyless, where all around is gay-to see it dressed out in the trappings of mirth, and looking so wan and woe-begone, as if it had tied in vain to cheat tne poor lieart into a momentary forgetfulness of sorrow. After strolling through the splendid room and giddy crowd with lu air of utter abstraction, she sat her self down on the steps of an orchestra, and, looking about ior some time with i vacant air, that showed her insensi bility to the garish scene, she began, with the capriciousness of a sickly heart, to warble a little plaintive air. She bad an exquisite voice ; but on this oc casion it was so simple, so touching, it breathed forth such a soul of wretch edness, she drew a crowd mute and si lent around her, and melted every one to tears. The story of one so true and tender could not but excite great enterest in a country remarkable for enthusiasm. It completely won the heart of a brave cfrleer, who paid his addresses to her md thought that one so true to the lead could not but prove affectionate :o the living. She declined his atten tion, for her thoughts were irrevocably sngrossed by the memory of her former over. He, however, persisted in his suit. He solicited not her tenderness, jut her esteem. He was assisted by ier conviction of his worth, and her ?en.se of her own destitute and ' depen lent situation, for she was existing on ;he kindness of friends. In a word, he it length succeeded in gaining hei land, though with the solemn assur mee that her heart was unalterably an )ther's. He took her with him to Sicily, hop ng that a change of ?cene might wear )ut thc remembrance of early woes She was an amiable and exemplary .vife, and made every effort to be a hap c-y one ; but nothing could cure the si ent and devouring melancholy that had intered into her very soul. She wast ed away in a slow, but hopeless decline, md nt length sunk into the grave, the fictim of a broken heart. It was on her that Moore, the distill juished Irish poet, composed the fol owing lines : jho is far from the land where her young hero sleeps, And lovers around ber are sighing j lut coldly she turns from their gazo, and weeps, For her heart in his grave is lying. she sings the wild songs of her dear native plains, Every note which he loved awaking Lh ! little they think, who delight in her strains, How the heart of the minstrel is breaking ! ?e had lived for his love-for his country he 1 died, They were all that to life had entwined him \Tor soon shall the tears of his oountry ho dried, Nor long will bis lo>'c stay behind him ! )h ! make her a grave where the sunbeams rest, When they promise a glorious morrow ; Thoy'll shine o'er her sleep, like a smile from the west, From her own loved Island of sorrow!

Mar 1 . tf 10 Does not the condition of affairs in South Carolina, if they really exist as Governor Scott states, furnish strong condemnation of the whole vile thing caliea leconstruction. How long will the ?nited States be able to keep up and support a military establishment strong enough to furnish each of the Southern States with a number of j soldiers sufficiently large to overcome opposition which the entire State militia is unable to accomplish, and how long will the people of the United States be willing to be taxed for this purpose ? There is no use in mincing ' words on this question. We desire to be frank and explicit. The people of the North ought to understana our views and our intentions. We tell them in all candor that the white people of the South will never submit to negro supremacy. They may, for a time acquiesce in a condition which they feel they have no power to overthrow, but as-soon as their hands are untied and their limbs unfettered, they will assert their man hood. The Southern States can not be made over to negroes and carpet baggers until the entire white popula tion is destroyed. There is no enmity to the negro, there is no desire to place him back in slavery. There is no feel ing of revenge against him to be grati fied. There is no wish to deprive him of his full civil rights-no disposition to wrong or harass nim in full assertion of those rights. But further than this the white race of the South can not will not go. Grant may send a large number of soldiers into South Carolina. The people there will mot resist the soldiery. There will be .quiet-a hol low truce as long as the soldiers remain. Negro supremacy enforced by Federal bayonets will be acquiesced in for the time. But the soldiers can't stay al ways. When the soldiers leave, the white men will rise as naturally as a cork will rise to the surftce when re lieved from the lead which has held it under the water.
