THE DAILY NEWS. 'A FISH STORY, ( A Parable wita ? Moral. ST nmrs RANDOLPH. Tn the Chesapeake and her tribute streams, Where broadening- ont to the Bay tbay come, And the great treib waters meet tte brine; There swims a fleh that is called the arum A ?sh ol wonderful beauty and tproe He bites hie a steel-trap and pull? ha* a norse. Be is beary of gi r b at the donal fin. Bot tapering downward keen and thin; Long as a salmon, but not so stout, And springy and swift as the mountain trout. Vororten at nicht, in a sportive mood. Be comes to tba brim of the moonlit flood, And tosses a glittering curve aloft Uk? the ni Ter bow of the god, then soft He plashes deliciously back in the spray. And the tremulous circles go spreading away. Sown by the marge of the York's broad stream, An old daraey livt-d. of tne ancient regime; Bia laugh was loud, though his lot was low, Be loved bis old matter and bated bis hoe. Small and meagre was this old Ned, And many long winters bad frosted his bead And bated hit force and vigor. But tho* his wool all white had become. And ht* hue wrinkled up Ilks a washwoman's thumb, Ann &,? oick was bent, be was thought by some A remarkaDl! hale old nigger. But he suffered, be said, with a steady a'tack Of "misery hide h?adi nd tam in de back. ?. - 'Till b s Old massa give bim his time to bis-self," Ano Ihe toil-worn old bondsman was laid on the j theil Though all philanthropists dearly can see The degrading < frets of slavery. I cant help thinking that this old creature Was a great advance upon African nature, And straighter of thin ana thinner of Hp Than his grandsire who came in the Yankee ship. Albeit bent with the weary toil Ci sixty j ears on a "alave-trooden" soil, Untaught and thriftless and feeble of mind, Bis hie ?as gentle-bis heart was kind. He lived in a house, he lovf d his wife. He waa higher far in his hopes and his life, And a nobler man, with his hoe in hi* hand, 1 han an African prince in his native land. Vor t erbaps the most odious th ng upon earth To an African prince in the land of bis birth With blt negative calf and bit convex thin, Triangular teeth, and his pungent skin So bloated ol bodv, so meagre of limb, Of passions to fierce, and of reason to dim; So cruel in war and to torpid in peace, So ttrongly addicted to entrails and grease; So partial to eating by morning light The.wife who has shared bis repose over night: In th? blackest of bisca superstitions down-trod, In hu horrible rite- and his Deas tl y god. With their bloody and loathsome and hideous mystery Bul UM iiaa notbinj to do with <? Fish-story. Happy old Edward, hit labor was done, With nothing to do but to sit in tho ran, lsd tree to follow hit darling work Of playlog bl. fiddle and catching his fish. He had esra? i bia play-time wi h labor long, Bo, like the other old Ned of the tong, Be laid do?n the shovel and the bo-. And caught ap tie Addle and the bow. Now I faucet say That hts style of play Woo d tait the idiom or the present day, Wot the towt de force ot the great Ptganabi Bas nev<r round favor in Old Ylrginuy. Be never plaved a tune that went slow, For he perfectly scorned an adagio; Mai al th ay ta half closed and a time-beating toe, Hts elbow aqua i ed sud his resinous bow Hot go ng np M gi, ar going down low, But sawing i lead ii?

Bottom, of < birago. ls sued by Titania, ot j Cincinnati - Meant y ls Solaced by fl lu 0,0 Qt) Damage?. As already brit fly announced by telegraph, in the case of Hiss Amends Craig, of Cinoin nati, TS. E. P. Sprague, of Chicago, for breach of promise of marriage, which had been on - trial at Wheaton, Illinois, for several days past, the jory on Tuesday rendered a verdict fer the ptain tiff, awarding her the earn of $100,000, the amount claimed by her for damages. Counsel tor Sprague mored for a cew trial. This suit waa brought by a certain Amanda Craig, a school marm of Citcinnati, against ono Sprague, s rich ehoddyite of Chicago. Amandi is represented as being soft and plaintive, a little touched with melancholy, and brown curls. She ia not yet twenty-five years of a?e. Bpratue is fifty-two ana no beauty either-a little, dampy, dried-up, bandy-legged chap, with a toft of gray beard cn bia ohio. Amanda met the defendant tor the first time in 1859, white teaching school at Cincinnati It was clotty a cast? or lovo at first sight, for he inrited her io the theatre on that &ame evening. Mid visitod her frequci.tly until 1861 and 1832 when he made overtures ot ro&rriiiKB which were not thou accept? ed. On the principio, however, ihat faint heart never won lair lady, ho conhuued his attentions at intirvals, and in l>oo his p rseveroLce wa8 crowned willi arccess they hearns enguged. The 15;h of tho fol lowing bepiembor was appointe.) for the consummation of their Wedding bbs*; but Sprague's heart tailed bim, and be terned np mia-ing until Fobroary 20 1866. when be returned to bia ailee lance once more, giving sickness as an excuse for his long ab? sence. Ail now went well until April, when he - Heul io Chicago, whither be was followed by his e fri u. oed, who found bim living on term's of in'i mac s wi tn a servant girl. After much tn bara ti on and a solemn promise to retort*, M - r H.' red b m to bia former place in her ifldctione; bat aa soon ai he got out of her atttttBMShe Uiooutineutly Cleared oui. and she San >.o U ..K louie o. bim until 1867. As ho then ebowed no inclination to pei form bis promise sud many her, she sued him with the re eu t shove eUtei. borne of ibo leuers pro tin oed m evidence are exceedingly rare eueci meua in ibe r way-his of orthography and hers of lovelorn r> etry. The ou l.\ t zoeptiot-al feat uro in tbe tri il ia in Tegua to the testimony ol a pb y ie an. A doctor- was oalied ay the-defendant, to tcstify Ahat ?du?ts.ona nad been made to bim co ?fi TliJE dentially by the plaintiff, in medical oona ol la? ti?os, of a kind seriously to damage her charac? ter- The doctor seemed re lue: ant to testify,, but being: directed by (be court that he must reveal everything not tending to criminate himself, he gave some guarded answers which tended to imply a doubt of the chastity of the plaintiff. After being once fine i twenty five dollars for contempt in prolonged hesitation at some questions, he positive y refused to answer any direct questions as to the result of bis medical examinations in the plaintiff's case. For this he was sent to jail, two days in succession. The effect of the an? swers he did make, and of his refusal to testi? fy beyond a certain point, however, tended se? riously to injure Miss Craig's case if he should be believed, and her counsel preferred to take the ground that his testimony so far as it went was false, that the plaintiff had never consult? ed bim medically at all, that he was suborned by the defendant's wealth, and that his refus? als to proceed came from a tardy conscien? tious reluctance to blast by perjury the char? acter of a virtuous woman. The correspondence is all published and is very lo vin g. Amanda writes like a person of elncation. E. P. S. writes after this style: BOSTON MASS Oct 21865 Monday 10 o'c a. m. my Dear and best Beloved and respected and Honored in my hart to Amauda J Craig my dear you must pardon me for not writ ten you st Chicago bef?te I lett that Place I left the second day after I wrote you my Love, my hart has Acked and I have fealt bad for so ?toing Butt uncle Elisha coosed me to go with bim East to see Doct Warren and I done so I shall leave in a few days tor Chicago and then tor your place I boap 1 will gett a lew lines from you at Chicago 1 cannott run the nek ot a Sur gacle operation until I have my maters all set? tled it ie a great risk so says Dr Warren and 3 others Butt I cannot Putt it off Longer than next spring at the lartherest Move I will write yon from Chicago and Lett yon know all of the particulars about v hat my doct says Mandy now yon have all my Love and Esteem and respect Seep a good heart in order to Keep up your spearitts I have looked at your miniture at least 12 Dozen times o how I love you and you don't Believe ono word off itt o how I want to hear from you I know the way I feel their is a letter foi me at Chicago from yon I wish I had wings I would fly to your arms and see you tor iba t is nearly all th6 happiness I have is in your company yours as ea ver yon havo had all of my love and aiucesr regard and I hoap always will you write me so I can gett yoma against I arrive at Cb ic go my love and regard and good wishes to your mother and father and beloved Broth r yours as ea vcr E. P. a. HOW THE LAX H LIES IX OHAXOE BUJtO. The Action of thc ?tat? Hoard of Equali? zation. The following letter from a correspondent at Orangeburg Courthouse will b i read with in tere J1 : We landholders aie cor sulerably stirred up by the action of tho Equalization Board in quad? rupling the assessment of real estate. At a meeting, called to consider the matter, a com? mittee was appointed to visit the board, and was instructed to solicit the aid of the mem? bers of the General Assembly in having the assessment aoated. As well might the b rd, torn by the talons of the hawk, remonstrate and Phow that tie blood flowing from its wounds would prove tata). That board wau created for agrarian purposes, and th s raising of assessment on one class of proper) \ alon?is but a step to varis tho long pr mused distribu? tion of landed prop i ty, intended to furnish each freedman with at toast "forty acres." ls ft likely that any remonstration from the victims will ohange a long settled scheme ? It is evident tbat it will not. And yet our people needlessly humiliate themselves by appointais a committee, composed in part of those who ought tor ever to be ostracised from decen' society, aud "cap tho eli-n ax of policy" by ri? vi tin5 the members of tho Legislature and the scalawag! and carpet-baggers to aid in re? moving a tax which gives them their pay (?) and stes?ugs. Heel greasy discouraged at the weakness of public sentiment, and find my fears con? firmed that in losing our cause, we have alsu lost oar character as a people. Certain it is that the argument of "polic.," which has here? tofore been peculiarly Yankee, and tho "so called" yielding to the "topic of events," both bnt recently acknowledged by us as of force in the decision of any question, but now almost universally adopted as true guides of action, have wrought s most pernicious change in the tono of puolio sentiment, the rnVe to be de? plored, that now of all times we need a heal? thy, strone public gentiment. I am glad to say that the action ot the meeting was rather b> sufferance than bv nason*, as mist left when the tendency of resolutions was seen. (Dmrarrr??l. Kxports.
