A* IWCIUKMT BKLATCD DT GOV. NX) YD, AT TflK " WHITIC HOUSK'" 44 Had I a tale to recount of tho olden time, laying the scene thereof in England, France, Spain, or any of the old countries, to us associated with so much romance and gorgeous grandeur, in which there would be a plenteous sprinkling of lords and ladies, jp tests and nuns, magnificent palaces, haunt ed castles and gloomy monasteries, it would be more acceptable to the great masses than if the scene was laid here in this laud of plodding Yankees, railroads, manufactories And cotton speculations ; nevertheless I will endeavor to spin you a yarn, which, by the way, is not altogether a yarn, but facts and unvarnished truths." 44 I had the pleasure of spending a few days recently," continued Gov. F., " with a distinguished friend of mine in Richmond, And while there, I heard the following conversation between the wife and daughter of my host." 44 La 1 me, what impertinence !" exclaimed Lizzie K., as she scanned a beautiful colored note handed her by the servant. 44 What occasions your surprise," inquired her mother, 44 Rather say indignation, mother, at being asked, and even urged, to take tea this evening at Mrs. Downer's, the tanner's wife." u And why should you not, njy dear." u Think you it would bo proper, mother, for mo, the daughter of Judge K., on? of the wealthiest and most distinguished men of the city, to associate with such low bred mechanics I" M Indeed, my daughter, if they are mechanics, they are people well to do in the world, respectable, pious, agreeable, and in every way worthy of your acquaintance." " Really, mother," continued tho young lady, as she tossed her pretty head, u I'm disposed to think differently, and so far from encouraging, I prefer being always removed A* far as possible from the laboring classes. Besides, how is it expected that I should enjoy myself In conversation with such people, who only talk about the markets, and their own private concerns. Quite an inteHestual telem lete would Jt be, mother, dekr." .** Oh 1 fie, Litze, fie 1 but I am to blame for this. I've shown you too much ioduU geaoe; you are a spoilt child, so I must, even now, set ?bmit repairing rtjy garden, and pluck out the weeds and tares ere it be loo late." 44 Come, sit down beside me, Liacie, and I wiH give you your leseon of worldly wisdom, from my great store of worldly expoi p ricnco, by relating to yon a story, which, I trust, will lower your pri'le, aud make you a better woman. A woman with no pride, iny daughter, is but n droning, easy crea ture; but ono with too much, is haughty, niggardly and selfish ; both the extremes are contemptible and mean. Be, then, neither too fashionably dressed nor too slovenly, too devout nor too worldly. A mere butterfly in the world of fashion and pleasure, making but small pretensions to religion, is a character bad enough, but worse to my thinking is the fiery zealot, on the other hand, who has too many rigid virtues; who is continually reviling against the world, displeased at anything like social and rational enjoyment, nnd shocked at the least merriment, playing or any amusement that the heart in its fulness and gladness prompts the young and sprightly to indulge. So, then, avoid extremes of every description." " But to the story. Sixteen years ago, Salem, in Virginia, was one of the most lively villages imaginable; situated in the heart of the great valley of Virginia, yet commanding a magnificent view of tlie bold outlines of the Alleghnnies and the Blue Ridge. The village contained no buildings of note save two ; one of them a magnificent tenement, the princely residence of one of the old Virginia aristocrats ; the other the only inn, a small, quaint, yet pleasant house, nestled in the centre of the town. The proprietor of the one, a wealthy planter and distinguished officer of the State; of the other, a poor widow, whose only living depended on the profits of her table, which was scent, as there was but little traveling done at that day through this retired village. And the advent of a stranger was always a subject of curiosity and interest to the good townfolks ; as it is always so in the secluded villages and inns in the out-ofthe-way places of America." " To this little inn, a gaily dressed, yet weary-worn traveler picked his way one evening in the autumn of 18?. The buxom hostess and her tidy daughter wero all life, and frisked about bestirring the savory viands, delicious cakes and eggs, much to the satisfaction of our hungry traveler, who appeared to be a young man of some twenty summers, tall, commanding, of fine appearance ami pleasing manners. lie soon, by dint of frankness, and suavity of man ners, insinuated himself into the good graces of the hostess and her daughter?with the latter of whom ho appeared to bo much struck, for she was as lovely as she was Dent I and graceful." " Possessing charms not unlike one whom I adore !" exclaimed the young traveler, admiringly, as he placed himself before the sparkling fire after finishing his repast, " and expect, ere long, to lead to the altar, and with whom you are doubtless acquainted, as she lives only in the mansion above the village, as I understand." "What! Einma White?" inquired the hostess. 44 Even so, my good dame, I met her at the Springs, some months ago, became enamored of her, wooed, won, and am now come to claim my bride." 44 She is a beautiful creature, indeed !"interposed Augusta, the hostess' daughter, 14 but somewhat proud, as is also her father." | 41 Not so, indeed, gentle Augusta; if she lias pride, it is nothing but nature ; maidenJ ly priue, which every lass should have. And you say Miss Emma is quite well? well, I will let this pleasing intelligence restrain me to-night, and to-morrow I will give the fair enchantress, 1 Lrust, an agreeable surprise." 44 Early next morning as etiquette would permit, the young man set out with buoyant heart and high hopes to the mansion. Hut we will precede him, and look in on his fair betrothed. In a magnificent parlor of the mansion sat Emma White and her mother, the one thrumming a piano, and tho other interrogating a servant. 44 And you say, Sambo, bo lodged last evening at tho inn ?" .? \ ^ -i 1- ? . . , uh^ik, uu look say lie uar now.'" " Well, yon can retire?and so, ma, it is even as I expected ; I thought it was him as he rode past Inst evening." " Well, Emma, how do jou intend to bluff him off? I'm thinking it will bo a shameful and delicate business ?" " Shameful, indeed ! When Attorney Clayton introduced him to me at the Spring#, he brought him forward as one of his law students, and not as a printer, as he is?I'll itstver forgive Mr. Clayton I" " lie is not to blame, my acar; he is his pupif. Didn't the letter say ho was a journeyman printer at A , but in consideration of his promising abilities, he undertook, gratuitously, to bring him to the barf" "Well, for all that, I'll never marry a printer. I did have a tender regard for him once, and when I gave him iny hand 1 deemed him somebody, so I acted from iho promptings of the heart, but now I'll be I ruled by my better judgment." " Well, please yourself in this matter, ray dear, but I'm disposed to think honorably of ; but, la! me, if he isn't at the door now!" u Scarcely had she done speaking when our hero entered, and, *ith a heart overflowing with gratitude and love, sprang for. ward to meet the object of bie idolatry ; but imagine his surprise and dismay when he received only in return a cold distant courtesy, which froze his blood, and rooted him to the spot, bewildered and astonished at such greeting from hi9 fair betrothed, he turned for an explanation to tho mother, who, perceiving tho embarrassment, stepped forward and, ottering him a seat, explained to him that since her daughter's return from t H A Snrtnnro oltn \\ o,l ? a ' mra umi, imcr lutiuru reuecuon and examining her heart, thought it best to dissolvo the engagement mado between them." The ruby clieeka of the suitor became of an ashy paleness, and his bloodless lips quivered like an aspen leaf, as l:e falteringIv exclaimed, " and wherein is my offence ? have I merited this? Good Heavens! and is this the gentle, the tender, tho confid'ng Emma White?'' " Sir, this is not the stage of a theatre to enact scenes," now spoke up tho daughter ; 44 let it suffice to know we are ever henceforth to be strangers to each other. You attempted to deceive me, and pass yoursolf off for a gentleman, when it turns out yon are of the working classes, only a printer, a portionless journetman, a fortune-seeker! If you had an honorable profession, sir, and wero of good family, as I once fondly thought, wo would be united; ' ut as it is, I cannot and will not descend s . low!" and as the young lady thus spoke, lie tossed her head, and with ineffable scorn ,"nd con tempt, proudly sailed out of the room. 44 Alas ! how crushed were his hopes now! Deceived, slighted, wronged, confidence betrayed, laughed at and treated with scorn and contempt by one whom he adored and loved, alas! too well! and all for being a 44 low-bred, base mechanic ?" And rushing madly to the inn he sought his room and threw himself despairingly upon his humble cot, from which he did not rise for two long, weary months, for the unwonted excitement and disappointment of the morning had brought on a burning fever. From morn till night, and night till morn, the patient raved, a wild maniac, calling and conjuring his Emma to cotne back to him, and with his impatience, querulousness, wearied all about him, all save one. The physician despaired of restoring him, and resigned u: ?? * ' - uiiw iu iiie enure care 01 tne gentle Augustn. who watched at hi* bedside night and day with untiring assiduity, bore with his imbecility, administering to his wants with kindness, and soothing his irritated spirits by gentle words and kind affectionate treatment. " Finally, after the lapse of several weeks he began slowly to recover, and reason returned once inore. When having entirely recovered, he thanked the hostess and daughter with tearful eyes and heart over* j flowing with gratitude for their kindness in | watching over him in his weakness and infirmities. I!e called Augusta his preserver, I his guardian angul, and told her he owed to herliis life, and that he would ever hold her in grateful remembrance, and though he | was then about to depart and would not see her again for years, yet, when fortune smil| ed upon him again, she should hear from him. Till then ho bid her a sorrowful, a tearful farewell, and departed." " Years passed, and still the unfortunate stranger was not heard of, and nhnost forgotten by the good gossips of Salem, and even the one who caused his misfortunes, Emma White herself; yot there was one in that little village who still gave him a place, not. only in her memory, but also in her heart. It was the hostess' daughter. ****** " Fivo yenre from the events just related, Richmond was crowded to overflowing, for' the Legislature was in session, and had brought its usual retinue of strangers, office and pleasure seekers. It was by far the greatest season the capital had seen for many years; and balls, parties, soirees, and picnics followed each other in rapid succes-! A S.... 1 V -'- !_ mm uiiituitieu zeal. ****** "Gorgeous lights stream from a score of windows of one of Pearl street's stateliest j mansions, and sounds of music and revelry are heard within. Luscious and sylph-like forms skip over the richly carpeted floor, and grave gentlemen sit comfortably in the background, talking politics, gossipping and admiring the light-hearted, the lovely and happy beings around them. VVe will draw near ono of these companies?that one near the chandelier, consisting of two gentlemen and a young l~dy, at,d lister, ?and as wo are incog, it matters but little if we are caught eavesdropping." j "It is just as you say, Col. White, the Legislature has done but little as yet, still I think they have redeemed Ihemselves somewhat by one judicious act,-in appointing our young friend K ? to tho fifth judicial | judgeship." " A very proper appointment, sir, very? but yonder he is now?see, the servant is i just ushering him into the room." r | "Lai me pa," exclaimed the young lady admiringly, " how interesting he looks, and so young too to be appointed a jndge." " lie is a elever young man, Kinma, and able too, or be would not have been honored with the responsible office just conferred upon him." ? " How T should like to beooroe acquainted with him, pa; pray introdaee him V' 14 " Mont assuredly 1 will do so, for here he coioos now." " A pleasint evening to you, gentlemen ?Col. White, pray how do you do ?" M Quito well, quite well, I thank you. Jndgo. Permit me to introduce yort to my daughter. Judge K , Miss White." " And with a low, deferential courtesy, the lady greeted the gentleman, and seating henself beside him with many an art, and for a while she did attempt to amuse, please, and insinuate herself into the good graces of the promising young judge. But her efforts were in vain, her arrows were aimed against a heart of steel, and the countenance of the judge the while wore a contemptuous and sneering expression that baffled all her arts and penetration." 44 Heavens, what a face, how lovely, how angelic ! But inelhinks I should know that countenance!" exclaimed tho judge, as he caught the beautiful black eyes of n lovely lady in a distant corner of the room, riveted full upon him. 44 Who ? the young lady in the black velvet mantilla ? ha I ha I that's my protege, she is an orphan, her parent was a maitre de hold in Salem, Virginia; ro being left alone, I took her under my charge, and right useful I find her: she answers both fur a companion and maid. I would not have brought her here, but she seems so sad and melancholy, that pa would make me bring her, thinking it might somewhat revive her drooping spirits." 44 it is, it is, the pure, the gentle Augusta ! IIow fortunate! Pray, Miss White, excuse me?but I know you will when I inform you that I am 44 only a printci'"?tho poor mechanic you scorned, jilted and derided many years ago in tho little village of Salem," and rising unceremoniously, the young judge hastily crossed the room, leaving the haughty girl covered with confusiou and shame to weep over her folly. 44 It was the lovely Augusta, and with beating heart, eyes sparkling with joy, and countenance suffused with blushes, the fair being welcomed the happy aud excited your.g man." 44 Much as Miss White suffered by the gnawing of conscience, much as she upbraided herself- mneh ?? vim --a sorrowed over her past conduct, her sure disappointment, her punishment, yet in a few weeks after, when the admired Judge K led the happy and envied Augusta to the altar, she could but acknowledge that her punishment was just, thut it was merited." " Judge K and his lady lived happily, prosperously, and contentedly together ever since; but Emma White, unhappy girl, is still a spinster?an old maid." 44 So, now, Lizzie, my story is ended?all but the denouement." u Denouement f" 44 Ves, for you must know, your dear father is the hero ; and I the heroine ; he the 44 base-born mechanic," the 41 poor printer," and I, ths 44 hostess' daughter." 44 Pardon, pardon, mother !" and as the young miss threw herself into the mother's arms, she vowed never to be proud or selfish again." 44 And you will go to Mrs. Downer's this evening!" 44 Oh, that I will, mother, with pleasure." The company began loudlv to applaud Gov. F , as he concluded his reminiscence, when he bid them cease, as he hud tinished all but the 44 denouement." 44 What is it ? what is it f" rang round the circle. 44 Why, nothing more nor less than that the hero of my story has just entered this room," replied the Governor, as he Dointfcd to his diatinarninhAH ?n,1 i'riend amid the plaudits of the assembly.

[From the Charleston Mercurj.] The Grave of Osceola. Mr. Editor?It was on r bright morning in June that the little ferry lioat Massasoil drew up to the wharf of Sullivan's Island. It was the first time we had ever visited this spot, so celebrated in the history of Carolina. Often when reading of the fierce conflict of the 28th of June, 1776, had we pictured the little fort of Palmetto logs? the white waves beating against the foundation?the Palmetto trees Scattered around its walls; but it was in imagination only. The reality was now before us?the Palmet toes were waving gracefully in the soft sea breeze; and there, with massive walls and frowning guns bristling from each bastion, stood not the fort of logs but?the modern Fort Moultrie. To one who has never visited this renowned fortification, die sight is well calculated to awaken the beholder's attention. Far out on tho ocean's bosom the white sails of merchaul-men may be seen fluttering in the breeze, as they bear the rivh products of our land to foreign shores. On the opposite side may be seen the tall steeples rising from Charleston, and reflecting thfl oinlirrlit 4~ ? .... & ....... H.V.. KIIUWU IUJ'8. I Mount Pleasant, with all its varied beauty,! lies to the right, while Castle Pinckney and Fort Sumter rise as from the bosom of the waves. Such was the scenery that greeted us on the morning of our first visit to Fort Moultrie. With what deep emotions we entered the dark archway that led us within its walls! Visions of old Moultrie and his pipe ?of Thompson with his wonted coolness? of Jasper proudly catching the old Palmetto Banner, and amid the shower of grape-shot hissing around him, firmly binding it to the broken stafi*?constantly floated before us But now the scene was indeed changed. Instead of a few small guns mounted on wooden ramparts, huge grinning cannons were seen firmly arranged in warlike arrayon those massive walls. Soldiers and officers in gay uniforms were seeu lounging around the terrible engines of war, or drilling their respective squads, forming a strik ing contrast with the imagined appearance of those stern veterans of "70, who knew no company or drill, but knew so well how to defend the rights of their country. We had spent some tirne in viewing the scenery from the ramparts of the fort, when some of our party commenced reviewing the outer works, myself among the latter number. On our first arrival we had noticed on the western side of the fort a simple marble slab, bearing on its face some slight inscription, but none then thought it worthy of notice, in contemplation of the more majestic scenery ; and now, as we drew near that simple marble, what was our surprise to find that il covered the last resting place of one scarcely less brave than those who had bled there eighty years before?it was the grave of Osceola / llere, 'neath the walls of Fort Moultrie, the brave defender of his country found his last resting place. The simple marble slab, bearing the name of" Osceola," is all that is left to tell where the warrior sleeps. True, some warm hearts, displaying a humanity quite rare, had planted over the spot a weeping willow, which sheltered from the night dew the warrior's grave. But even this token of a susceptible and generous soul was destined to fall withering and PritaKoil lilro !?-% ? ? 1. - ? - * 1 , ?......v,*. ..luj mo mio u or wiium it was plant* ! ed. The ruthless storm had lain it low over j Ooeola's grave, and thero it withered and died, a fit emblem of that fate which befell the stern warrior. The circumstances of the capture, imprisonment and death of the great chieftain are so well known, that they need but a slight notice here. Hunted like a wild beast by bloodhounds, in his native swamps, he for a long time defied capture. Hut at last, when bravery could not vanquish him, treachery was resorted to in order to accomplish the desired end. lie was enticed into the camp of his foetnen, and in violation of every law of humanity, imprisoned and brought to Charleston. But now, alas ! the stern and haughty spirit of the warrior was crushed forever. Tyranny had inflicted its last wound upon his proud soul. For some weeks he lingered in gloomy ar.d heart broken sorrow, refusing all relief or consolation. The reed, after receiving its deathstroke, seldom lingers long, ere its leaves i fall withered to the dust. Thus it was with I the Indian warrior. After remaining a I o ~~ I ' short time in disgraceful captivity, his proud soul left its earthly tenement, and fled to the happy hunting grounds of his fathers. On that bright sandy shore his mortal remains now sleep, forever free from the evil intrigues of this cold and cruel world.? l'eace be to the warrior's spirit. TRYON. A Colored Man Elected to Office.? Tlios. Howland, a colored stevedore, has been elected warden in third ward of Providence, R. I. The result, it appears, was brought about through a joke, but it turned out to be a reality, and a few days ago Howland demanded to be sworn into office. His election, upon examination, was found to be legal, and was thereupon sworn, and entered upon the discharge of bia duties. I Orators and Editors.?Compare tbe orator with the newspaper, and we gain a faint glimpse of the ubiquitous power of the latter. The orator speaks but to a few hundreds or thousands; the newspaper addresses millions. The words of the orator may die on the air; the language of the newspaper is stamped on tables as imperishable as marble. The arguments of the orator may follow e*ch other so rapidly that a majority of the audience may struggle in a net of ratiocination, the reading of a newspaper may be scanned at leisure, without fear of perplexity. The passion of an orator inflames the w hole assembly ; tbe feelings of a newspaper electrifies a continent. The orator is for an edifice; the newspaper for the world?the one shines for an hour, the other for all time. The orator may be compared to lightning, which flashes over a valley for a moment, but leaves it again in darkness; the newspajwi to a sun blazing over the whole earth, and "fixing on the basis of its own eternitv." Printinrr been happily defined " The art which preserves all arts." Printing makes the orator more than the orator ; it catches up his dying words, and breathes into them the breath of life. It is the speaking gallery through which the orator thunders in the year of ages, lie leans from the totnb over the cradle of the rising generation.
