List to the dreamy tone that dwells In rippling wave and sighing tree; Go, hearken to the old churek bells, The whistling bird and buzzing bee. Interpret right, and ye shall find 'Tis Love and Glory they proclaim The chimes, the creatures, water, wind, All publish, " Hallowed be Thy Name." The pilgrim journeys till he bleeds, To reach the altar of his sires; The hermit pores above his beads, With zeal that never wanes or tires. But holiest rite or longest prayer, That soul can yield, or wisdom frame, What better import can it bear, Than " l'ather, hallowed be Thy Name." The savage kneeling to the sun, To give his thanks or ask a boon; The raptures of the idiot one, Who lauihs to see the clear round moon; The saint well taugh' in Christian lore; The Moslem bowing at his &nne; All wonder, worship, and adore; All end in " llallowed be Thy Name." Whatever be man's faith or creed, These precious words comprise it still. We trace them in the blooming mead; We see them in the flowing rill. One chorus hails the Great Supreme, Each varied breathing tells the same; The st;ain may differ. but the theme Is " Father, hallowed be Thy Name." COURTING IN BROADWAY. A very singular wedding transpired here this week. A young and very pretty Irish girl the sister of one of our common Conneilmen, was walking up Broadway, New York, when she attracted the attention of ai eiderly rentle mani of large wealth, who had lived: all his life a bacheljr and an asceie: Rumor savs that he was foiled in nn afairs dui cmrur, and carried thenceforth in his breast a heart impenetrable to the sweet influences of the tender passion. Well, this gentleman on the prome. attracted by this Irish girl to such a d' she arrested his steps and ventured her: -,Will you pardon the liberty, Wl your name ?" The girl timidly surveyed him, an" in the query, and that lie was:t acceeded. "My name is Mary 0, K "Dare I ask you another a mean Miss'K - -1 "Proceed, sir," she replied, good humoredly. " Then I shohul like to a.,k you-mad you will confer an infinite obligat ion upon me by answering truly-whether you are en'gaged in marriage to iy one, or whether your feelings are interested in any person whatever. The question was decidedly a honme one, bul there was so kind and gentie an expression in the old man's eye, and such an evident eartnest ness in his tone, that she answered hium freey " Not in the least, sir." " Then allow me without any further cerem". ny to place my card in your hand and with it the offer of myself and fortune.-Commission i any friend you please to make whatever inquires concerning me you may deem proper and let me know your determination to mofrow. . The girl overwhelmed wvith surprise, deposi. ted the slip of pasteboard in the reticule and passed on. On Wednesday afternoon her brother called at the hotel where her admirer resided and informed him that Mary had concluded to accept him. They were married the same eve. ning at the residence of the bride's moother and the old gent leman settled on her one hundred thousand dollars on the spot. This gentleman-he would not like me to give you his name-has held a great many public offices in his time, was formerly a alajor in the U. S. Army anid afterwards assistant in dian Commissioner. His real estate in this city is worth more than $200,000. Mary anid the blajor started the next morning for New Orleans, where the latter has a brother who is a sort of pecuniary nabob in that city. STRANGE OCeURRENCE.-A Western editor on entering his 'aflice, and seeing his apprentice1 boy cutting some queer capers, called out to him, " Jim, what are you doing on the floor 1" " Why, sir, I have had a shock !" " A shock ?" " Yes sir." " What kind of a shock ?" "Why, sir," said the lad, gasping. " one of your subscribers enme ini during your ;abence ~said lie owed fo'r twos years' sub.-eri;;tion-pab'l it, and also paid anuother year in ad~vance." "In advanee!" gasped the edit or. nearly as much overcome as his lone apbprentic. -Yes, sir, and it has produced such an effect upon me, ,thbat I have been perfectly helpless ever since." "And well you may, Jim. But, get up: if you survive this, you aire safe, as there is little prospect of another such catastrophe in this office." TERRIJBLE WrT.-Lord Bacon tells of his father, Sir Nicholas, that when appointed a Judge on the Northern Circumit he was by one of then malefactors mightily imuportunedl to save his life which, when nothing lie said did avail lie amt length desired his unirey on account of kindred. " Prithece," said my L'ord Judge, " how came that in ?" " Why, if it please you,'*tny - . Lord, your name is Bacon and mise is Hog; . - and inall ages Hog and Bacon have been so near kindred that they are not to lbe separated." " Ay, but," replied Lord Bacon, " you anmd I can not be kindred except you be hanged ; for Hiog is not Bacon until it is well hanged!" Ax Irish lawyer in a neighboring country re eently addressed the court as "gentlemen," instead oft " your honors." After he had conclti ded, a brother of the bar reminded him of his error. He immediately arose to apologive, thus : " May it please the court, in the haste of debate I call yer honiora gentlemen. I made a mistake, yer honors." The gentleman sat down, and we hope thme court was satisfied. "PaT, you have dated your letter a week ahead. It is not so late in the month by one week, you spalpane." " Troth, boy indade an' it's jist musilf what is wanting swate Kathleen to get it in advance of the mail. Sure PIll not care if she gets it three ays. aforo it is written, me darlint." EaMPEROR AT ST. CLoUD.-The Paris corres pondent of the Herald thus describes the Em peror and Empress of France at St. Cloud: IN And now his Majesty is there inl the zenith of bj his glory. The Empress is with him, inhaling m the sweet breezes that softly whisper through t those sheltered odireferous gardens, and is gain. ti ing health and strength every day. By her bide at reposes the infant heir of a name which under at his auspices, Napoleon fondly hopes history a, will point to with no less pride and admiration C than to that of his renowned predecessor. h< The fortune of war has blessed his arms. A ir peace of his own dictation reigns throughout bi the world. And at this moment he plays the m host to two young princes, who look up to him p1 as their Gamliel, as the most wonderful hero of th their stock, and from whom they may well learn instruction and wisdom. The Grand duke Maxi. z miliant, a youth of about twenty-two years of hi age, and brother of the Emperor of Austria is di one, and prince Oscar Sweden, the grandson of p: Bernadotte, is the other, who is but a few years mri older. With them the Emperor loves to fling d< aside the pomp snd ceremony that doth beset a fu king. in In the morning all three are to be seen among w the Emperor's roses, breathing the fragrant Ha. e vana, and ehatting laughing, musing arm in arm, m as if the government of mankind were no part ar of their vocation. Sometimes the Empress from T her couch, which has been wheeled to the win- lit dow of the Salla d'Orangenie, lets fall sweet a1l words -as the f:bled fairy did pearls-among o0 this trinity of princes; and sometimes the nurse, th with the heir appearant, is sent to add to the hi domesticity of the enjoyment. [a an instant a the enfant de France is caught by one or the ha other. Now it is the Emperor who gives a ross, m now prince O.scar, now the young Maximitian sii till at Liast the nurse is obliged respectfully to w, remonstrate, and the Fair Eugenie issues an U Imperial decree that tie Emperor and his guests, a I shill leave the youig child alone." a GENTLEMirX AND LaWYER.-In a paragraph fri from the Pittsburg Chronicle, now going the th rounds, we see it stated that a duel is shortly c. to be ought between a man of respectable wi standing in Allegheny, and a member of the bar in the samo city. If the editor of the se Chronicle means what he virtually says, that tri a man of respectable standing is ain alhogether ba dillerent institution from a lawyer, or that.am lawyer, is not respectable, we should think that there wag a pretty fair prospect of not one, but several duels-or at least (f a brilliant array Ti of "salt, nd batteries.

CRAIMPToN NOT A FIT MAN FOR WASH1 GToN.-For ourselves, while exculpating, as r. b1arcy does in his letter, our own Govern. ent from the charge of intending to violate w e United States law, we have alI along felt at it was impossible to answer for what the b 1 tu of an individual official in a complicated b d distant transaction might have been. t >pears from Mr. Marey's despatch that Mr. gu rampton has not been wholly faultless; that P certain!y seems to have taken an active part isl proceedings which were pronounced illegal w r the United States Courts; andi what is still ch ore unfortunate, persisted in continuing those oceedings even after this decision against of em. fa We do not doubt Mr. Crampton's fidelity, ha al, and activity in the task which was given at m, but he appears to have wanted caution and tic gnity, and not to have been considerate or sti irticular enough in the means and the instru. to ents which he employed for his object. We hit >not doubt in the least Mr. Crampton's faith- er I devotion to his own Government and good tic tentions towards the Government to which he kn as sent. But there is such a thing as a Care- Im ss and undisciplied fidelity, which tells its fo aster, " Oh. trust me; I know what you want, bi d I'll do it, and I won't be particular eitl.er." here is a t1delity to a master which implies too tie relf-respect in the servant. Air. Cramplon e ipears to have wanted self-respect in the kind persons with whom he connected himself in de use transactions and the style of proceeding 1i adopted, and to have managed the affair on w free and easy principle, never intending, per- c, ps, really to offend the United States Govern. L-nt or to violate the United States law, but act nply thinking that "it didn't signify," that it aE ia of no use sticking at a trifle, and that the tel ited States Government would never make hei uss about such a little matter. But this was hit line unfortunately most unsuitable for dealin" th< :h a jealous and tickli.,h people like our ends across the Atlantic, most tender about Co Lir dignity, and on the look out for the slight. t indicatini of a difference of behaviour to- Cli irds themselves and European Governments. i4t Mr. Crainpton was certaitly not the tnan to h1r d as Miister to the United States.

'hei truth is, it would never have done for the lepublican cannse to have submiLLed him to a .ross examination upon the witness stand ; as it was well understood around the court-house hat such ni event would as suredy have explo. led the peculiar statements of his remarkable estimony given before the House Investigating AommiLtee, as his appearance under the gaze of lie public would have exploded the trick of naking him ont, for political effect, a dreadfully njured man. Gentlemen who saw him on the norning of the day before yesterday, as lie was bout leaving Washington in the cars, conceive hat he never looked in better condition. Yet, t seems that those who have him in custody are letermined to play out to the end the game of >ublic deception with reference to his condition, re shall not be surprised to learn that he enters loston on crutches, with head shaved and iound up, and limbs trembling as though bend. ng under the weight of a half a century of iremature years. The distant reader may rely on it, that if his ppearance in the court house at the recent trial vould not have exploded the humbug, he would urely have been there to confront his assailant. [he act of running him off at such a time, pret. y much as the thing is done on the under. round railroad, involves positive proof of the flse pretenecs and humbuggery of the current epublican-party representations concerning his oudition; and it is so appreciated in this city.

The only consolation left to the robbed nd deserted wife, was derived from the post. :ript, which contained the assurance that she 'ould never see him again. Information of the ibbery was left at the police office, and efforts till be made to bring the scoundrel to justice. CONDEMED BY HIS CONG REGATIoS.-The Rev. fr. Tyng, of the Church of the Epiphany at 'hiludelphin, in a sermon on the present troubles f the country, introdured Kansas and the Sum. or and Brooks ditliculty. He inveighied with sueh severity against " the instituition," and sed very unbecoming language for the puipit. r. Caspar Wislar rose and reproved him for esecrating the Sabbath rand the church, and iany members withidrew. On the next morning xe Vestry and Wardens passed unanimous re lutions disaapproving of the Introduction of' po ties and sectional disturbansces into his pulpit. 'he sermon has been published and is extremely ffensive. We are pleased to record the very roper action of the Vestry on the occasion. The Liverpool European Times says, with reat propriety and truth, that Mr. Crampton is an arrant bungler," and thinks he was desery. dly dismissed from a post he was evidently in. ompetent to fill. It says, in addition: But whatever estimate Mr. Crampton may arm of himself, w.o hope it has never entered ato hie cranium to suppose that hc is of sufi ient importance to set the two countries by the are, for if such be his belief. his egotism is oomed to receive a decided shoek.

Ai when I reflect that your own declaratioi Has blasted the long cherished hopes of my heart, I sigh, but in vain, for that sweet consolation, Whih nought but your love and your smiles can impart. Your love, fairest angel, tho' onee to me given, Is chilled-and in sorrow my hopes I resign; Yet I feel that my spirit, when borne up to heaven, Will then be united furever wi:h thine. Then fire thee well, fare thee well, now and forever; In deeply-felt anguish I bid thee adieu! Yet remember I told thee, though doom'd thus to sever, The heart that I gave thee shall ever be true. Roczv Cazax, July 7th, 1856. MR. BROOS' RESIGNATION. The vote fur the expulsion of Mr. -lirooks was larger than we anticipated. It had been so clearly demonstrated that his case did not come within the constitutional or parliamentary juri diction of the House. that the country had the right to supp6se that factious and personal pas sion would abate, and that Representatives, com posed down to judicial impartiality. would decide according to the Constitution and common sense. The offence was simply one against law, and the proper legal tribunal had adjudged it. What ever may have been the merit or demerit of Mr. Broaks' conduct, moral, social or political, and apart from the legal or parliamentary, it had not directly come within the purview of either juris. diction. Upon its propriety his responsibility was solely to public opinion and his constituents. As there was not a constitutional majority-a two-thirds rote-against him, and consequently no expulsion, it was his constitutional privilege to retain his sent, or to consult his sense of the injustice done him in his character as a Repre sentative, and resign. His resignition, to he properly estimated, must be regarded as a digt. fled appeal to the higher tribunal of the people -us submitting his case to the judgment of his constituents. Looking it the constituency of the House, and the votes of its members, its action in this case can be viewed in no other light than the prejudice of section, the cohesion of party aud the madness of political passion. Its significan. cy is of still greater moment, when, regarded as a parliamentary usurpation, it must be deemed the resolution of a branch of the Federal Con. gress into a sort of political Star Chamber, which has assumed to infringe upon the liberty of the subject, the privilege of the citizen, the right of the representative, and the authority of the constituent. It is one of the signs which A.---~nwaa-ataa tand-nev to Federal and__arty_ ment of iidividual iowardiee, faiatical ferocity, party and sectiouai persecution, and of pirlia mnentiary usurpation, to the tribunal of his con stituents. We would not forestal their judg ment, but we can confidently antleipate their vindication of the individual and representative rights of the citizens of South Carolina. Charleslon News. WARNING TO SLAYEHOLDErns.-A gentleman of this towc, says the Charlottesville Advocate, had one of. his servants to runaway last Monday, and having strong reason to auspect that he had been carried off by some of the Circus Compa ny which performed here on Friday and Satur day of last week, he sent in pursuit of the tie gro. At Orange Court House his messenger overtook the Cireus Compainy and found the ne gro in the employment of one of the hands be longing to the Company.

Worn out with dreatd, he went to the Marshal of the Territory and told his casee, and naked to be arrested. The officer remonstrated; told him he had no authority to make an arrest ; that the affir was forgotten, and it he initended to make his remorse good for anything, he had better set to work and earn money he had criminally got and spent, and pay the bank and those he had swindled: that he would be better every where than goitng to the penitentiary. But Howard was resolute to be arrested. The officeer wroteito this city, and a requisition was procured, upon which he was brought here ont Tuesday afternoon.
