I loved her when the sunny light
Of youth was on her brow,
And not a trace of care was seen,
Which shades so darkly now.
When wreathed arouud those rosy lips,
Lay smiles in beauty rare,
It seemed that naught could ever harm
A loveliness so fair.
I loved her, when in after years
A change came o'er her heart,
Yet knew that earth could never more
One ray of joy impart
The rose upon that fodiug cheek,
I saw, must soon decay,
Twas marked by earth's corroding care,
To early pass away.
I loved her, when that marble brow
Lay cold in Death's embrace,
When the sweet smile could play no more
Upon her angel face.
I mourn for her so early lost,
Yet still the hope is given,
That we shall meet iu heaven above,
Where friehds no more are riven.

THE VILLAGE PRIZEA
TALE OF WASHINGTON.
In one of the loveliest villages of old Viiginia
there lived in the year '75--, an old man, whose
daughter was declared, by universal consent,
to be the lovliest maiden in all the country
round. The veteran in his youth linu neeu amletic
and muscular above all his fellows; and his
breast, where he always wore them, could show
the adornment of three medals, received for his
victories in gymnastic feats when a young man.
His daughter was now eighteen, and had been
sought in marriage by many suitors. One
brought wealth?another a fine person another
this, another that But they were all refused
by the old man, who became at last a by-word
for his obstinacy among the young men of the
village and neighborhood.
At length the nineteenth birthday of Annette,
his charming daughter, who was as amiable
and modest as she was beautiful, arrived. The
morning of that day her father invited all the
youth of the country to a hay-making frolic.
Seventeen handsome and industrious young
incn assembled. They came not only to make

In three hours they hud filled the father's burns
with the newly dried grass and their own hearts
with love. Annette, by her rattler's command,
had brought the malt liquor of her own brewing,
which she presented to each enamored
swain with her own hands.
" Now, my boys," said the old keeper of the
jewel they nil coveted, as leaning on their pitchf
irks they assembled round the door in the cool
of the evening?"Now, my lads you have lioarly
all of you made proposals for mv Annette.
Now, yon see, 1 don't care anything about
money or talents; book learning nor soldier
learning?I can do as well by my gal as any
man in the country. But I want her to marry
a man of my own grit. Now you know, or

leaping. I got my old woman by beating tlie
smartest man on the Eiistern Shore, and 1 have
took the oath and sworn it, that no man shall
marry my daughter without jumping for it You
understand me, boys. There's, the green, and
here's Annette, he added, taking his daughter,
who stood timidly behind him, by the hand.?
"Now the one that jumps, the furthest 011 a
dead level' shall marry Annette this very night
This unique address was received by the
young men with applause. And many a youth
as he bounded gaily* forward to the arena of
trial, cast u glance of anticipated victory back
upon the lovely object of village chivalry. The
maidens lett their looms aud the quilting frames,
the children their noisy sports, the slaves their
labors, and the old men their arm-chairs and
long pipes, to witness and triumph in the success
of the victor. All prophesied and many
wished that it would be young Caroll. He
was the handsomest and best humored youth
in the country and all knew that a strong mu*
tuai attachment existed between him and the
fair Annette. Carroll had won tho reputation
ofbeing the 'best leaper/and in a country where
such athletic achievements whre the sine qua
none of a man's cleverness; this was no ordinary
honor. In a contest like tho present he had
therefore every advantage over his fellow alhleia.
The arena allotted for this hymeuial contest
was a level space in front of a grass plat, reserved
in the midst of the village, denominated
the'green.' The verdure was quite worn off at
this place by previous exercises of a similar
kind, and a hard surface of sand, more befitting
for the purposo to which it was to be used, supplied
its place.
Tho father of the lovely, blushing and withal
happy prize, (for she well knew who would
win,) with three other patriarchal villagers were
the Judges appointed to decide upon the claims
of the several competitors. The last time Car.
roll tried his skill intnisexcrcise, ho "cleared,
to use the leapers phraseology twenty-one feet
and one inch.
Tho signal was given, and by lot the young
men stepped into the arena.
"Edward Grayson, seventeen! feet/ cried
one of the judges. Tho youth had done his
utmost. He was a pale intellectual student.
But what had intellect to do in such an arena ?
Without a look at the maiden "he left the ground.
', Dick Boulden, nineteen feet," Dick with a
laugh turned away ami replaced his coat.
"Harry Preston, nineteen feet and three inches."
" Well done, Harry Preston," shouted
the spectators, "you have [tried hard for the
acres and homestead."
Harry also, laughed, and swore he only jumped
for the fun of the thing. Harry was a rattle-brained
fellow, but never thought of matrimony.
He loved to walk and laugh and romp
with Annette, but sober marriage never came
into his head. He only jumped for the fun of
the thing. He would not have said, so if he was
sure of winning.
"Charly Simms, fifteen feet and a half.?
"jHurrah for Charley! CharleyH win!"
cried the crowd good humoredly. Charley
Simms was the cleverest fellow in the world.
His mother advised him to. stay at home, and
told him if he ever won a wife, she would fall
in lnvo until hia rrnnil tomnpr rathAr than his
legs. Charley, however made the trial of the
latteris capabilities and lost Many refused to >
enter the lists altogether. Othere made the
trial, and only one of the leapcrs had yet cleared
twenty feet
" Now," cried the villagers, " lets see Henry
Carroll. He ought to beat this, and every one
appeared as they called to mind the mutual
love of the last competitor and the sweet Annette,
as if they heartily wished his success.
Henry stepped to his post with a firm tread.
His eye glanced with confidence around upon
the villagers and rested, before he bounded forward,
upon the face of Annette, as if to catch
therefrom that spirit and assurance which the
occasion called for. Returning the encouraging
glance which she met his own with a proud
smile upon his lip, he bounded forward.
"Twenty-one feet and a half!' Bhouted the
multitude, repeating the anounceinent of one
of the judges, " twenty-one feet and a half.?
Harry Carroll forever. Annette and Harry!"
Hands, caps and handkerchiefs waved over the
heads of the spectators, and the eyes of the delighted
Annette sparkled with joy.
When Henry Carroll moved to his station to
strive for the prize a tall gentlemanly young man,
J e 1 4. ...|?
in a military unurew irovK cuut, wnu uau ivuc
up to the inn, dismounted and joined the spectators,
unperceived, while the contest, was going
on, stepped suddenly forward and with a
knowing eye measured deliberately the space
accomplished by the last leaper. His handsome
face and easy address attracted the eyes
of the village maidens, and his manly and sinewy
frame, in which symmetry and strength were
happily united, called forth the admiration of
the young men.
" Mayhap, sir stranger, you think you can
lieat that," said one of the bystanders, remar
king the manner in which the eye ot the stranger
scanned the arena. " If you can leap beyond
Harry Carroll, you'll bent the best man in
the colonies." The truth of this observation
was assented to by a general murmur.
" Is it for mere amusement you are pursuing
this |mstime?" inquired the youthful stranger,
" or is there a prize for the winner?"
" Annette, the loveliest and wealthiest of our
village maidens, is to be the reward of the victor,'"
cried one of the judges.
" Is the list open to all t"
" All young sir!" replied the father of Annette
with interest, his youthful ardor rising as
he surveyed the proportions of the straight
limbed young stranger. She is the bride of him
who outleaps >Henrv Carroll. If you will try
you are free to do ~o. But let ine tell you,
Harry Carroll has ..o wife in Virginia. Here is
my daughter sir look at her and make your trial."
The officer glanced upon the trembling maiden
about to be offered on the altar of her father's
unconquerable monomania with an admiring
eye. The poor girl looked at Harry,
who stood near with a troubled brow and angry
eye, and she cast upon the competitor an
imploring glance.
Placing his coat in the hands of one of the
judges, he drew a sash he wore beneath it tighter
around his waist and taking the appointed
stand, made apparently without effort the bound
that was to decide the happiness or misery of
Harry and Annette.
"Twenty-two feet and an inch!" shouted the
judge. The announcement was repeated with
surprise by the spectators, who crowded a*
round the victor, filling the air with congratulutimiu
unt miiiiimrlmi linwovpr with loud IllUT
murs from those who were more nearly interested
in the happiness of the lovers.
The old man approached, and grasping his
hand exultiugly called him his son and said he
felt prouder of him tlian if he wore a prince.
Physical activity and strength were the old
leaper's true patterns of nobility.
Resuming his coat, the victor sought with
his eye the fair prize he had, although nameless
and unknown, so fairly won. She leaned upon
her father's arm pale and distressed.
Her lover stood aloof, gloomy and mortified,
admiring the superiority of the stranger in an
exercise in which he prided himself as unrivalled,
while he hated him for his success.
" Annette, my pretty prize," said the victor,
taking her passive hand. " 1 have won you fair
lv." Annette's clieek became nalerthan mar
ble ; she trembled like au aspen leaf, and clung
eloser to her father, while the drooping eye
sought the form of her lover. Ilis brow grew
dark at the stranger's language.
" I have won you, my pretty flowor, to make
you a bride!?tremble not so violently?I
mean not for myself, however proud I might
be," he added with gallantry," to wear 60 fair
and a gem to my heart Perhaps," and ho
cast his eyes inquiringly, while the current
of life leaped joyfully to her brow, and a murmur
of surprise ran through the crowd, "perhaps
there is some favored youth among the
competitors who has a higher claim to this
jewel. Young sir," he continued turning to
the suprised Harry, "mcthinksyou wero victor
on the list before me; I strovo not for thomai
den, though one could not well strive for a fairer?but
from love for the manly sport in which
I saw vou engaged- You are the victor, and
as such with the permission of this worthy Assembly
you receive from my hand the prize
you have so well and so honorably won."
The youth sprang forward and grasped hiu
hand with gratitude, and the next moment Annette
was weeping from pure joy upon his
shoulders. The welkin rung with the acclamations
of the delighted villagers and amid the
temporary excitement produced by this act, the
stranger withdrew from the crowd, mounted
his horse, and spurred at a brisk trot through
the village.
That night Harry and Annette were married,
and the health of the mysterious and noblehearted
stanger was drunk in overflowing
bumpers of rustic beverage.

Caroll had become Col. Henry Caroll of the
revolutionary army.
One evening, having just returned home after
a hard campaign he was sitting with his
family on the gaily of his handsome country-house,
when, an advance courier rode
up and announced the approach of General
Washington and suite, informing him that he
should crave his hospitality for the night?
The necessary direotions were given in reverance
to the household preparations, and Col.
Caroll, ordering his horse, rode forward to
meet and escort to his house the distinguished
guest whom he had never yet seen although
serving in the same widely extended army.
That evening, at the table, Annette?now
become the dignified, matronly, and still handsome
Mrs. Carroll, could not keep her eyes
from the face of her visitor. Every moment or
two she would steal a glance at his commanding
features and half doubtingly, half-assuredly,

puzzled. Her absence of mind and embarrasment
at length became evident to her husband,
who inquired affectionately if she were ill ?
" I suspect, Colonel," said the general who
had been some time, with a quiet, meaning
smile, observing the lady's curious and puzzled
survey of his features?that Mrs. Carroll thinks
she recognizes in me an old acquaintance."?
And he smiled with a mysterious air as he
gazed upon both alternately.
The Colonel started and in a faint memory
of the past seemed to be revived as he gazed,
while the lady rose impulsively from her chair,
bending eagerly forward over the tea-urn, with
clasped hands, and an eye of intense eager in

with her lips parted as if she would speak.

EXCITEMENT IN CINCINNATI.
There is a substantial and solid argument as
well as a recital of stirring facts, in the following
text from the Cincinnati Atlas and the comment
from die Memphis Enquirer:
Runaway Negko Caituueo?Grkat Excitement.?Yesterday
afternoon, Walnut st.,
was the scene of an unusual excitement Passing
diere about one o'clock, wo saw two men
armor! with nistols and bowie knives, hurrying
a negro towards the river. Two othdrs followed?
like wise artned?brandishing their weapons
and bidding defiance to the crowd. A
large mass of people, attracted by the unusual
sight, followed in the rear. The negro was
resisting and calling for help, but his captors
hurried him on, without interference to the river.
At the foot of Walnut street, the Ferry
Boat, which had been waiting loosed her fastenings
as the captors approached, and, as soon
as they were on board, pushed into the river.
Whon fairly under way, those 011 board gave
three cheers, and the boat and her passengers
with the negro and his captors, passed over to
the Kentucky side; all this took place in broad
daylight in one of tli e most thronged streets
of the largest city in the west!
We understand the negro's name is George
Jackson. It is said he has resided here some
three or tour years. He worked as a oaroer
at Cousin's, on Water street, between Walnut
and Main. He had also been employed at La
Belle Restaurat, on Broadway. We presume
that the civil authorities of Covington will
at least allow him the benefit of a legal investigation,
for it must not be assumed that every
colored man is a slave, whenever any one sees
tit to call him so.
Cincinnati Chronicle 6c Atlas, 1 Ith.
Commrnt (by the Memphis Enquirer, a whig
paper.) We have received a very different account
of the above uffair. Mr. J. V. Baugh
went from this city with the fixed purpose to
arrest and bring home a slave, who had runaway
from Memphis, and was known to be in
Cincinnati, (that most respectablo city, where
negroos are protected and white men mobbed.)
~ *- i
He stopped at uovington, on me ivemuun^ auv
of the river, and procured the assistaueu of
Messrs. Ilenham, Stroud and McBride. On
their arrival in Cincinnati, the negro was found
to bo on Sixth street. Fie was arrested, as a
fugitivo slave, but instantly a mob was raised,
amounting to many hundreds, with the view of
a rescue. Bricks were used, knives drawn and
presented, and pistols and other weapons freely
displayed. This immense mob consisted* of
free negroes, and white men who consort with
them. But they missed their card. The four
boys drew their weapons of defence, and in defiance
of the infuriated and excited mob oi abolitionists
and vagabond negroes, they took the
slave to the river, and safely conveyed him in
the ferry boat to the Kentucky'side. Measures
were immediately taken on the Ohio side
to arrest the " kidnappers"?(this is what honest
men, who unly claim their own property,
are called in Ohio)?a large reward was offered,
and bribery attempted, to get hold of Baugh
and his stray bird; but all failed, when tire Ohio
officers visited the St Cloud, expecting to find
him on board, they were sadly disappointed?
he was on the Cambria, and many miles on his
way home. The officers of the several boats
are entitled to the thanks of all honest men for
their aid in this matter, and for declining- to facilitate
the efforts made to keep the property of
one of our citizens, when they knew justice
and the law demanded the delivery of the slave.
Kentucky seconded Tennessee nobly in this affair?and
if the owners of fugitive slaves will
send such men as Baugh after them, and let
him pick up his assistance from old Kentucky,
all the negroes of Cincinnati (whether white
or black) will not be able to retain them.
After a detail of such facts as these, how
cau any man say that the time has not arrived
for the South to tike a firm and determined
stand in defence of her constitutional rights?
Do we live in a land of law and justice, or do
we live in a land of wrong and oppression ??
Have we laws or must we be forever forced to
preserve what is our own by a resistance to
mobs of vagabonds and scamps, who have no
regard to law or the rights of property !?
These are the men we are told we mast compromise
with and surrender more of our dearly
bought rights, in order to gratify their propensity
to harbor fumtive negroes, and wrong
white owners. We have no compromise to
make with them?had we a say in the matter,
we would make only the child's bargin, "let us
alone and we will let yon alone." With the
system of protecting rnnnway negroes by mobs,
we do not know but one way to act?and that
is that the Sooth should distinctly and decisively
assume the position that nothing short of a
fulfilment of the principles of the constitution
will satisfy the people. If the States north refuse
to surrender fugitive slaves, and mobs of
negroes and abolitionists prevent the owners* or
their agents from arresting them we should suppose
it was time for slave owners to. begin to
think of the value of such a connexion. With
these rowdy mobs, constitutions, laws, justice,
are no more regarded than the wind that blows
?they steal and hide negroes, aud consort with
them regardless of the laws of the land-* even
the decencies of society are contemned, and-the
African race is endeavoring to establish an
equality with the Caucasian race? an absurdity
too ooiaanu piain to meet wiin uie upprvuMiuu
of intelligent and right-thinking men anywhere.
Such are the scenes we are to anticipate continually,
unless we can establish a rule that the
constitution shall govern. If we are willing to
surrender everything, and take Union without
a constitution, of course we cannot help it: but
we do hope the southern people will insist upon
a constitutional Union, and never consent to a
further surrender of their political, personal and
property rights, to gratify fanaticism and dishonesty.
The people of the South owe Mr.
Baugh thanks for setting an example which
teaches the abolitionists and free negroes of the
North that Southern owners will have their
slaves, in defiance to the mobs. -;
Importance to Health of Regular Men
tal Exercise.?The following advice is contained
in a letter addressed by Dr. A. Combe to
a lady who had long suffered under a complication
of distressing, although not dangerous
maladies.
" The nervous system, like all other parts, is
most directly strengthened by exercise of its
own functions. It is, therefore, of much consequence
to keep the mind and feelings as fully
employed, and as regularly exercised as possible,

we cau do, is to invite and encourage others to
stir us up even against our will at the time, particularly
as the feeling of inability is always
much greater than the reality; and if we act
upon the feeling, we are apt to allow our whole
faculties of mind and body to become weakened
from a mistaken belief of their unfituess
for exercise. So sensible of this am 1 in my
own experience, that scarcely a day passes in
which 1 do not feel positively grateful for being
obliged to exert myself, and to do many things t
and to sec many people, that, were I left to inclination,
I fear i should often neglect; and, the
consequence is, that the more 1 have to do, and
the greater exertion I am making, more I
am able to do, and the happier I be<j0me> Your
