Playing, playing, round me playing,
By the fire-side warm and bright,
Is a little rosy cherub,
Oh ! she is a gem of light!
iRolling rber the carpet- here,
Pulling at the rocking-chair,
Running, running, everywhere,
Little'prattler'void of care!
Now she's in the room,'vow out,
Now she's sitting by the stand;
Now she's scolding Poni about,
.Now'shc.pa's him with her hand,
Thus she goes around the room,
Now she's got the poker-broom
Now she's crying-now she talks
Now she's-running-now she walks.
Now she fulls-anon she's up,
Going, going, all the time;
Never knowing when to stois.
Now she's singing some old rhyme,
Thus, from early -morntill night,
G'm of hope!, with golden hair,
All around me, every whero.
She is only three years old,
Oiily three years old to-day;
)oes she think of after times?
When black hair will turn to gray.?
.Ah, she never thinks, not she,
Of the days that are to be;
- Of the hopes, and. cares and fears;
Days of toiling, joys and tears:
Little angel, may'st thou ever
Be so joyous As tho
Taste life's bj , oh, never !
Or beA,,-d abroken heart,

And when death steals out the spirit,

there lived-in the souhLlern-part. of the. province
6f Andalusif-an old and proud family 'of .the
name of De.Castro. One of thi'oungeriem.
bers of thisefamily named Emanuel, had con
.eived a-romantie papsion for the daughter of a
poor musician, a mostobeimitiful'and interesting
girl, and proffered his hand -in honorable mar
riage. Wliri-themitte' beeane known to the
.friends of the young Rni, it.odcasioned great
indigiation,"iind a threat of 'the.severest-,ven.
geancefrom the old rich 'onihiafathei- should

the fir was, that the Aplited a.;i epnIpt
young Eniaanol.gathered.ilithe money he euld
comniand, 'secretly mart-ied the fair Leonoih,
Bed withher from hlis native provinde, ap& final.
ly settied upon the ver: -spot where ap were
ten sItting.
For three yearsEnnpel De 7Clastro and Lio.
nora lived in this retired place as happily as two
-doves, cultivating a small farm and selling its
products-in the neighboring ~jllage At first,
this mode of lire canie rathier awkward to the
young couple ; but'Emanuel had a stout heart
as well as frame, and, like -a true philosiopher,
persevered in what he had undertaken. By de.
grees, aided by the instruction and advice of the
surrounding peasantry, they became acquainted.
with the various features of rural life, and their
unbo)unded love for each other was stret'gthened
and made h*ppy by their graddal and satisfacto
ry succes.- .Thus, under their own *g tree,
they quietly reposed; herdstrazed . upon their
pastures, and their fertile fields teemed plenti
fully withgrain.
Occasiohally they were visited by students of
the Univ'rsity, who always found in their intel
ligence and hospitality the essentials for making
this abode a most agreeable resort. Amone-this
number was one Velasquez, a young nobleman
of distinguished and affluent connexions, gene
rally of.genteel bearing. but perfectly debased
in his appetites and passions, and unscrupulous
in the means of their gratifiention. His agreea
ble manners at first won the friendship of Eman
uel and his wife, who little suspicled that the
brutal villian lurked under so pleasant an exte
rior. This man was the leader of a club com
posed of six meibers -besides himself, who
were orginized as a sort of bachanalian gang,
aud many a scene were they the actors of which
would make virtue rucoil to witness. Their in
fractions uof the University laws were frequent
and unserupulous, but their combination and the
high -standing of their families preserved them.
even from rebfuke.
Velatquezlmnd his comnpanions were on a rev
el one evening, and, rambling forth;without no
ticing whether they -ent, thev came to the cot
tage of Emanuel. It was gettingr somewhat late
out any. ceremony they*staggered into the house.
Here they found no one but a half-frightened
servant girl, and to their inquiries for her mas
ter and iistress. she informed them that they
were not at home., She was then ordered to
bring. forth the best that the house afforded of
wine ani refreshments, which she declined do
ins, where upon she was treated with gross in
dignaties; and while they were engaged in mak
ing the poor girl the object of. brutal sports,
Em:uwel returned. The .servant soon made
iml equai-ited with the treatment she had re
ceived.- Burning with indigidition, 66b-dered
the scoundrels to depart froin his dweling, the
hospitality of which they had so basely abused.
Velasquez told his companions to jobey, which
they did with sullen looks. He then spoke of
the matter as a joke; but Emanuel replied that
none but a blackguard and .scoundred would
subject a female to such treatment, and bade
him follow his companions or be driven forth
like a common dog. -Emannel seized a poker
itnd pointed to thie door. :Velasque-z obeyed the
signiicanut allusion ; but qahe. went out his
eyes glistened like an enraged tiger's, and lhe
threa'ted. some terrible vengeance upomn the low
born peasant wvho dared thus to treat him.
A few days passed awaf, and Emanuel had
occasion to leave home. lIn the evening Leone
ra was startled by the entrance into the cottage
of Velasquez and his gang, all swvagger ing un
der the influence of recent potations. The ser
vant maiti had gone out on some duty and she
was entirely alone.
"Where is the villian that dared to raise his
hand against me?" shouted Velasquez, in ahalf
frenzy.
" If you call my husban~d sillhai,.you .utter.au
flsehood,"~ replied the spirited wife.
"Nay, nay-noti-quite so testy, or .we shall
tame thee," said the dissomlatfe leader, seizing her
arm, and casting o1 hdfi gakeof brutal sensu
ality..
Leonora screamed with affright, and tried to
disengage herself from the. iron grasp that was
fastened upon her. -
:"-Oh,- do not -flutter so, my- pret ty bird bnt
conwijiietly'to, my arms,' ed1llied the fieud,
endegoring to embrae her,........
vThe agony of the wife, as ale: called upon
the otbera, as men, to save her, Was greeted only
by a-coarse and nioeking--la'ugh.:
-"-OW, Emanuel !:Epsitijtl !" she cried, " why
are .yornot heure-tdjproteet,.;me:?" and fainting,
she fell bIlplessly. upon the-lecher's breast. - - -
Late in the evening-Emanuel. returned' home,

When the villanous gang.. left, the. house of
Emanuel, they repaired to . their rendezvous to
keep up the night by an:indulgeneo In-their usu-,
al eeesse. While they were pouring forth
theii: hilarious shouts,- the door -of the room
opened,- and a man approached with a firm,
quick tread,-to the table where they were sitting.

:and eneountered his soul-pliercing gae.
.You will know who I am, replied tie lat
ter..with a. stern calmness that made the blood
'chill.. 11.Look upon these," said he, presenting a
bundle'of -red-handled dsggers-:" there are sev
en-just one for each! Expect no warning.
As you struck the unsuspecting, so will I strike
-thus !" he exclaimed with a frantic yell, at the
same instant springing forward and pluging.a
dagger into the bosom of one of the rioters.
The rest sprang for their arms, but with a bound
Emanuel reached the door, and was gone. They
followed, but no trace . of him could be seen.
They returned to the dying man, whom they
found in the last struggles with death. As he
lay upon the floor, with the red.handled. dagger
still in his breast, the six men looked on in si
lence, and perchance thought of the doom that
had been pronounced against them.
" Come," said Velasquez, the first to break the
stillness, '. why. tand . we here? Let us call
help and put officers upon the murderer's track."
Three days hadscarcely elapsed when another
of the club was found dead upon the banks of
a-stream near-the village, with a red-handled
dngger in his breast. He had gone out to bathe,
and while returning Was slain. It was not by a
robber, for his' person was unrifled. The re
maining five knew well who committed the deed.
A large reward was offered for the apprehension
of the assassin, but nothing could be learned
of him.
Two weeks passed away, and with -them some
what the excitement occasioned by the murders.
Two of -the club were out riding one evening.
A horsemin passed them; but this was nothing
singular. At a turn of the road they saw the
same man coming towards them at full speed,
with his cap partly concealing his face. As he
come opposite, quick as lightning he reined his
horse, and with a blow strek one of the two
to the ground-the fatal dagger -remaining in
his bosom. Thns fell a third. It was now ob
ser:ed by the community that this assassin aim
ed hisjblows at the gang of whom Velasquez
was the leader; and as Emanuel was known to
have diaIppeared, no one knew why or where, it
known to be -an vascrapuhlous set of fellows,
and many had canse to detest them for their
deeds; therefore people in general were not dis
posed to interfere. However as the gang had
rich friends, large reward.<4 were offered for la
king Emanuel De.Castro dead or alive, and offi
cers hunted day and night.. -
Meanwhile, lie fou r remaining ones, urged.by
their fears, left for their several homes, thinking
tlus to escape the avenger. One of them was
traveling in a covered vehicle. At the foot.of a
hill they stopped, and the two muleteers- went
to a spring to get water fur their mules. When
they rettfrned they were startled by hearing
deep groans, and, wn looking inside, they founa
its occupant in the agonies (if. death, with a-red
handled dagger in his bo'som.
When the other three reached their homes,
they heard of the death of their friend.. Their
alarm has increased. Two of them proclaimed
ant ofler of a large sum of money if their perse
ctor would agree to suspend his vengeance, but
no reply was ever made to thenm.
Six months pasd anway and the three still
lived. They entertained hopes that Emanuel
wvas either in some waty destroyed, or had-fled
his country from fear of the officers of justice.
One of. them1 who had confined himself to his
father's maiision, was in the dusk .of the evening
lying t'pon his couch nearh a wvindow, which
opened upon a balcony. He had rang a bell for
a servant-, who, as he entered, saw an nrm thrust
through Aho window- curtains, and. heard at that
instant a piercing cry from the bed. The alarm
was given, lights were produiced, and the young
man was found to be dead, ith thie well-known
dagger in his breast. On exaulination, 'the
branches of a tree which grew by- the "balcony
were found disturbed. .The assassin had thus
reached his victim, but, with-the atmost scruti
ny, he could.be no further traced. ...
Velasquez himself and another wore left,. On
hearing the fate of thle fifth victim, the latter of
the two'left In di.aeni'se, 'intending to sos'sm the

The mistake of opr Secessionfriends was, in a
period of excitement, perfectly natural, and is
easily explained. The contest, began as a
Southern movement-the resistance contempla
ted was a resistance by the SouTa.. In urging
"'resistance," words were not measured, but in
the beginniii it. was by all tacitly understood
a. applying to the SO'UT: and Secession,at that
time, Mneant, in the language of Ju4ge Cheves,
" a uilted seces..ion of the slaveholding States,
or a large number of them." While the people
were yet buniniig undar the exciting appeal, in
tended to ejf'et'this rhlI, so~te of our own citi
zena despairing of the "co.operzition" to 'which
our Legislature resolves haad pointed, prdoposed a
new remedy, not hitherto di.-uebd or considered.
Upon the new issuiedhern was differenys of~ opin.

now, in good earnest, urgedi resistence,'under'
