A TALE OF LOVE ANtD I'ol.TICS. Towards the latter part of the summer of 1S0io, a ld of prepiossessing appearanu e en tered the beantiful town of G -, situated at the foot of Seneca Lake, near the centre of this State. He had traveled from the Westerni part of' Ohio, Where his father, a widower, had died, from one of those ma ignait frevers so comnon in newly settled -ounLtries, while overseeing the Cultivation of ; large tract of land, in order to regain a ortun e fost during the disastrous specula tions of 1836. Leing an onlV son, and left munong strati ers, after the death of his fither, George itent wort h resolved to leave Ohio, and re nove to the State of New York, fir .he pur Ise of 1r ing his fortune, in any mnilner hat elanlce might offlr. lie had passed hrogh tihe sever:d towns and villages on is riute, w1ithout meeting anything to at ract hij attention, till reachitng G-. This il town, with its lovely ike and pleas:.n. :eenerv, struck his ftncy ; so he determined 0 obt: iiin em:.ployieit, i f possible, and make L his future home. While wValkiig ailong tie prineipal stret t of the place-a shady avenue overlooking lie lake, :11d on which are located several ine chureles and other public buildings le saw a lrge crowd of people asseibled iroun11d a iiewly crected liberly pole, in front >f one of the principal hotels. On ap ri.Iching the spot, lie found that it was a n)litical miieeting, held for the purpose of -niing tile pole, and making party pe -ches. On;r hero forced his wayv into the crowd t as tleV were raisinig the " Stars and ipS," With the imes of their faIorite au3ididates, to the top of the flag.staff. The big had searcely reached halfI' way, the ell hli.asi beinig at its height, when tle cord % ited and canght in the little wheel at the up. They pulled and tried every way, but vere uniafble to raise or lower the flag a sin le inch. The exeitement and chieeig -eased, and all eyes were raised to tle hiahi nasted tig. A lortion of tie oppositiioni mrtv, who were grouped together a little in lie rear of the main body, began tojesrand oke about the apparently bad omen, to the vident disconfeiture of' their MWI --Journa , then a candi. hit-e'fr Congress, offered fifiv dollars to mY person vho would climb the staff and Irw the cord through the wheel. The ut. iost silence reigtied for several minutes, but im ote aidvanced to make' the daring trial. " Will ntobod v volunteer," shouted the idge, stroily excited, as a peal of laughter veit ny froim the ra nks of the opposition. Their chuckle had scarcely died away, owever, before George, vith his cap id hoes off, stepped before the Judge, and vith a cnfilfdeit look exclaimed: " Yes, sir; I'll climb it !' You. ltlad ; are you strong enoig ?" 01h, yes, sir; I ami used to elimbhing." ThL go allead, lly little Spatan," said lie Judg-, at the same time giving himi an -nConraging pat on the shoulder. Stea:dily, hand over han1d, l.is feet Clutch ig the lic in a manner that proved him to le an expert climber, George made his way the very top of the staff, which was sii lender that it swayed to and fro withIi his veight. Not hiiig daunted, he wound his ogs right :iml lef't around the pole, and with is ight hand uituistedi the cord. Shouting 'nres4v to those below to hoist awvay, he -lung on till lie flaig fairly reached the top, Thle cheers that now rent the air were errifie-every body, opposition andl all, oning in with one uniiversai shout. A hter thie excitement had somewhat sub ded, J1udge 5- looked upon the bioy ath adiiirat ion, anid took out his piocket yok tCa pyfr the~ promiised reward. (George nioticed the action, and exclaimed: " eep y-our money, sir ; I want no. pay o'r hielpiing to raise the American Flag." "Nobily sa i, my little man ; what is your ime (" iiir~ied the Jud~ge. "Georgze W~entworthi, sir. I am an or abanti, and have just arri'eed here ini sea rchi of :-ni 6Tymenit," renlied our hero, his brighit veye gli-teniuig with ate. " Well, youI shall live wvith me," exclaim. d the .Judge ; l'll take care of you for the iture:" 6 * * * * * * '* Five years passed from the time George Wentworthi became a member of his benie factor's fmiily. In tihe meani time, Judge S-- had heen defeated hy his political op. p~onent, anid George had bleen initiated into the mymster ies of tile " Art of Arts." He had be-come a general favorite with thie citi zens, aiid was looked upon as5 tile adopted son of the Judge. It was even! wispered in o rate ctrelks rhat he w~as to he the enviedI iimshand of the beautiful and aiccompilishied 1(da, the Judi~ge's only child. But t'uis Geo:-ge had( niot d:ired to dream of. 'Tis tree hie never felt so happy as when in her presence aa it did make his muscles twitch to see the foppish students-froml the College swarm aroundl the unai~cknowhldged idlol ofhis heart. Poor rouithi! had lie known the real dtate of' Id's I'elan, thM: ?hought would l:ave ali most tuirned his brain ; and couild lie ha~ve iiterpreted thie gleam of joy that flaished frim her eves, wvheinever lie uttered a nmle sentient, or salley of wit, it w~ouild have filled his soul withi estacy anid dlehlit. One line (lay ini the latter part of' June, 1(da, her father and George, wvere enjoying a sail on the lake, in their trim little yacht, te " Swvan," whieb had won (lie " cup)' at lie last regatta, undetr thie management of our hero, who wvast at present standing with his hiandl on the mnast, gazingat the beantifol scnei(ry on the apaposit'' shore. The Judge held the tiller, and Ida was leaning over thie ~oat, trailing lier pres Iy han id th rough (lie clear waiter of the lake, when a sudden gust of winid creened thie yacht, so that she lost her baln.,-3. nd i'Wl iinto thie wan':. Gcorge heard the splash made by Ida, and buore the Jidge could titter a cry, he had kicked ofr his light sumnwiir shoes, and plunged in to her rescue. Being a skiltd II atId vigorouIs swimmer, he came up with the struggling girl iefore her clothes allowed her to sink, aid cntwinuingz her wakit with his left arm, struck out with his right, and kept he: a'>ove w..tr till the Judge turnrued the boat, ;:nd came to their relief. Inl a few moments Ilhey were safely*v in the boat again, and Ida sn r,-covered from thlle ('fets of her u nexp ected b iti. 'The' old Judge emraed Gerge, and exClaimiied'., wvithi tears staiting I' om his eyes: " God bless you, my111 dear boy, vou have s;Ived.l my1V d1:uIgIter's lile; how canl I ever' r paiy A on "' By saying nnthingv about it," replied Gleorgre "I owe You a thiousalnd fold mIore thani I can ever repay, and I am too happy h iiiig able to render vvei this service." The lovely Ida could say iothig-her heart was ove: lowiig; hut sth gazed u poni I her preservi w i% HI ai ex' rt'ssinm that told vou;iies. 11er ftither obse-rved her earnest, loviing glanie, a1nd begani to gIIeSs tihe tr'ue State of afia irs Ifi. was not prepared for it, a id in silenlee niled the lo:it toward the s!ire.

Ilis heart beat wildIv-what couIld it Imeaam ? Tihe Judige had determiined to put him to a severe test. As soon as Guerge entered the library, lie coliimmeiced: " Since becoinig an inmate of' In v fmily, eurge, von have codlicted voiirsel iln an honorable and worth mmei, performiig every dity ceerfully, m1 ieglectag 1ne.

Various were the rumors set afloat by tihe scandal mongers of G-, as to the anize of young W entworti leaving his patron' mniision, but their iinetndos were ii ibeeded. George now devoted himself wholly to bui-i ness ind study. IHis brow ivore :1 imiore1 thoiightfuil iexpressii, antd his checks g'rew" a shade paler. The Judge aicted Iowa irds him in a straigltforward, frianmk m:nnme1, yet nevei' aidreSSe( him: in kind, fai her ly tones, as had been Ihis twoit before the inident that occurried on tle lake. It lie chatced to met t Ida in his walks, a friendly glance :i m1 mnod wer'e a t:t pased ; still, ie felt th:t his hloks betrayed him, for the warm blood gushed from his loving heart, and tinted his cheeks with the tell-tale bhlsh ; and lie cher ishd the pleasing thought that hr louo was beaming with love and hope. A little more than a yeari pMssed frm thie time George had left the Imne of those he 'ovedi. It was thme eve of' aiiother elction excitement r.ii highi, and Judge S- a again a candidate foir C muress. Forscever at weeks a ser ies of' ;dbi wr~itten articles hid appeared in the Judge's paer.

Thle elect iora paissed off', and Judge S-- was elected, by a large umajor iity. Lamte oiie night, whil'e Ida and hetr faither weir ef etuing from a part ygiven ini honior' of his election, they observed a light in the prinmting of lice. As the estabhiliietit was usuailly closed at t wilight, it a ppear'ed strange that it shioud lie lit up at that hiour' ; so the Judge determinied to learnm the cause, re. quested Is dauitghte'r to acconmpany bin, they ascended thme stairs, and enttered thme 6%eec qumietly. A sight met theiir gaze which cauise'd the heart of' onet of' them to beat vin letitly. At the desk, a short distanice fro'nm thme door, sat George, fast aTleep, with his head iresting on his arn. As Idfa's fathier s'.eped fourward to awake the sleeper, hie observed several pqlitical essays lyinmg open on thme desk, and a f'reshl~y wvritter, artich', with the myi ster'ious "'stars" attached.

L N. from this township, having trained pll couple of large bears to the plough at other services, clapped them before his sic last week, with twenty shipples of whea for the new city. The animals drew e: tremely well for four miles and a half, whe1 the halter giving way the farmer set aboi repairing it ; but whilst thus employed, ti in hu man br 'ute, seizini g him by the right le, tore it miserably, and both bears iulling once ran away with the sled ; so that wil the utmost difficulty he got home in rot hours on foot. Messengers were tiespaitcht to look for the sled and cargo; two daj being spent iii fruitless search, they wei given up for lost; but onl the third, at nom0 the noi.e of a carriage near the house wa heard, and young Gad Stanhope jumped it ta see who was coming, when lie beheld, I his great astonishment, tle two bears drau ing the sled into the barn, with no earthl thing in it except four large bears and thrt cubs.

Sometime alterwards as shi was walking in comipany with another ft male, a mail passing her said, " How hsit sonic I look in my night cap!" This ey pression so forcibly sti uck her mind that h was the man that robbed the house, sh seized hold of him with the utmost intrepid ty, and held him fast, assisted by her con panion, till lie was given into custody ; which time lie eomfessed that whii he wu under the bed lie heard her use the expret sion previously to his robbin" the house, an WAN-rn, A M.srT.-Not long sine the Sunday Times published the following Passing down Nassau street, three or filu persons were standing inside of a store tall, ing to a black man, and then invited us come in. h Here is a black man," said one of th gentlemen, " who wishes to sell himself, a slave for $150."

Wher r. ;is thoroughfares of travel or high ways < y transportation, such enterprizes were of n a cessity to be tributuary to the wealth, trad d and advancament of Charleston, it was oni d required that we might deterntine wheinh t, their advantages would be large enough t e. repay the outlay, in order to settle the que: tion of subscription on the most simple pril it ciple of a business transaction. If we ar e to gain more than we contribute, it does nt r call for very deep sagacity to determine tht t we should contribute. It But the question is not altogether simpi r It has a double aspect, and this we shoul d never lose sight of. On tire one hand; b s judicious contributions to these enterprise e we may indefinitely extend the range of ou , trade and enlarge the wealth of our city. s On the other, by closing our eyes and fold y ilg our arins,-by supinely allowing ever ogolden opportunity to pass away unimprov ed, we may even lose what we have altead y gained. It is not nrely that Charleston i e placed between Wilmington and Savanna d two cities that, in proportion to their siz t and ieans, have (lone more for improvi it me its than any other two in the Unite States,-lhere are also other cities ti-it ar perfectly willing to drain the sources of ou a trade into their own streams. Mobile wil soon reach the valley of the Tennessee, whil Richmond is reaching forward to grasp th it growing trade of Western North Carolina 11 Mid the whole of the rich valleys on th k Western sI- pe of the mountains. No pou c L can take thse treasures front us if we us e our opportunities ; nothing can save thtm t f us, if from sluggishness or timidity, we hol L back while a'l the world arouid us is aivak a and pushing forward. What has been the result of previous con tributions by Charleston to Railroads ex tending her interior communications I Witi a in a very few years the inicome of the Soutl e Carolina Railroad has doubled. The valui of real estate within the city has nearly o quite doubled; the inhabited area has great t ly increased, and the value of .1mns in thi s neighborhood is probably fourfold greate than it was six years ago. This has sprun tar estol, and that, in turn, is the diiec result of the extension of our Railroad com 0 mntica'ions. There may be some who will admit al r this, and yet urge that it is time to stop that we have done enough. On the contra 0 ry, it is far imore apparent now that it is fo our highest imerest to go further, than i e evei wits before that we dught to move a s all. There was once a stronig plausibilit; ill the arguments that dissuaded the cit; from embarking in Railway enterprises. They were then experiments, and the re suits, especi.lly for a country like ours, wer in a great measure coinjectural. We hav done with experiments-we know what w i undertake when we engage in a Railroa enter)rise, and we canl calculate both th cost and the results by those of a hundre others. We tread ol familiar and sar - ground. What, a few years ago, was ni a unkirowrr world, full of dangers and uncer tuinties, is now the beaten track. Moreove: :not only are railroad enterprises now re duced to those limits of certainty which en able trs to decide, as in an ordinary matt. of blusiness, upon the character of.thme ui d dertaikiing, but it is demounstrable that evel IIunider all the manifold disadvar t iges of thei iexperimental character (luring the Ias qua ter of a century, Railroads have been by Ia the most successful and uniformly profitab] -enterprises of thtis age of amazing advanet s ment. We cannot point to a Railroad, fit rished, in South Carolina or Georgi#, thn -has not had a success beyontd what wva hoped for by its friends at the time of its prc jeeztio~n. And theie is not one of them whos Sfuture does not now promise a succes greater than any they have yet achieved. n They are in their infaincy, and what a glor ous matihood have we not a right to antiec a inte the brief sta inent above, of the advan e tages to Charleston fronym railway comnmuni L1cationis with the initerior, it will be observe that the profits of stockholders form but smaill itemi in the geineral gainis. The bet ticialI results circulate, like the nutritive sa e 6 a trt 6, through' tIfe w\hole body of tl comnmunilty. Tevalue ofthrsoki Ienhanced anid secured; real estate is raiset and its atmount enlarged by the growth the city ; the price of lahor is increased; an dits employmenit ninde more sure ; every di epartment of city life gains a new vigor. II ence these improvenments are emninenti Ipublic in their cbaracter, antd foster the ii terests of every chass of ci:itens: It is wvit a fhi's view, thit we have urged subscri'ptioi by the city to the most meritorious of the, it entterprises. As they were deimonstrably ft ythe advantage of all, the mtost juist n'pphortioI i1, mnett of the codt wa's precisely that whic le was santctioned in the distribution of cii ly taxation. By, usinig the credit of the cit; Ie we do not press5 upon capital in the hamt of individuals. WVe gather from the surphi of wealth everywhere, and great enterpis a- are carried through merely at the prese k. Icost of the interest of the capital requi-red. to The case now biefore the city we' consi :er one of the most meritorious and impo ai, tant that has ever called for her action. 'd a- need not niow set forth the character of t' lIc Blne Rtidge Itailroad. It is applreciated 1 of all initelligent m'en in Charleston. It w p- open to our market a great country, rich ed teady, anid every year advancitng in popul its tion and wealthi. We are sure, against ed rivalry, of securing the trade of thi-s regio u- by opening this trcmte. Wem do niot thii there are two' opinions on this point. TI h~e Expedientcy, therefore, of building thme road ifa matter of aidvanttage to Charleston, is let in question. And we beli-eve that the er d- viction is almost as general, th~at a subser dis tion by the city~, in its corptorate cebaract i to an amount suflicient to insure its suce is not ottly jifiable, but calemd fr by consideration of wise pdblic policy. There is not much time for delay. The decision d nfust be iriddg speed1ily, di a sad check be if given to an enfiUrorise that in an eminent de >t gree bears upon the futuro of Charleston. 3, Shall we bizid to us with bands of iron, that >f vast and fertile region beyond the moun - tains, which is impatiently waiting but a e channel to pour its wealth idto our port, or y shall we cast away ddr dp'goriunity, and re r serve for ddrseives tiei fdture jot of a city 0 pining at the advancement of inore enter I- prising rivals I The City Council fully appreciate the e great interests ut stake in this enterprise, it and we behieve, frodi afi d have learned of it public opinion, that they.
