Il Rare Character A correspondent
Of the Washingtonion gives the following
account of one of the Marblehead repre-
sentatives,
One person now living among them is
worthy of passing notice-Samuel Chinn,
one Of their Representatives elected to
the Legislature of Massachusetts. He is
SIS years of ase-a strong healthy man
and TO use his own language-he has nei.
Their ache nor PAIN
For the last ten years this man has liv-
ed on simple vegetable diet, causing not
the voice of mourning in the herds and
flocks which Craze peaceably upon the
mountain side; and during the last four
years he lived on nothing-nothiug but
dry unground wheat and fruit, He
makes his breakfast of fruit-the other
two meals of patronizins neither
burrstone mills, nor French cooks.
Last year he was elected delegate to |
the Worcester Democratic State Conven-
ton, and with a true democratic spirit
he filled his pocket with wheat, walked |
to Worcester in one day "a distance of
SO miles, attended the convention, and |
the next day returned home by the same
democratic express, having patronized !
no hotels.
He is now ready to walk rs miles in |
a day. wherever interest or duty may
require it.

HEROIC WOMAN OF AMERICA.
THE LADY AND The ARROWS.

Among the American ladies who have
distinguished themselves in the course
of our Revolutionary war by the sacrifice
of self-nteresl to the public welfare. none
is more celebrated than Mrs jacob Mote,
OF Carolina. The action by which she
sacrificed her own property 10 the de-
mands Of patriotism, was SO graceful, so
generous and free, that it has oc,aSoned
her praises TO be celebrated in all the his
tories of the time. The incident took
place in the year 1871. when General
Green, and the active par,izau officers
Lee, Marion and Sumper, were di.puling
with Ccrnwullis and Raw don the posses

such as would quite destroy all character

THE IMPRISONED BIRD.


Fncage that bird, and let it soar
To its cloud-home amid the sky
ghy should it beat its bosom more
Against the wiry CRATE, and die,
When God hath given 1t wings and air
10 watt the warbler every where2
late it scared with joyous wing
Up TO the heavenly gates, and then
atching the strains that Angels sing,
winged its swift flight to earth again,
4 nd poured through greenwood far and neal
UGH strains as win the enchanted ear.
y mate perchance hath mourned il long
Upon yon green and favorite tree,
bid poured its wild, unanswered song
Through leafy grove and flowery lea,
bid pinned 10 hear no answer float
echo to its widest note;
e wandered forth at dusky eve
When every human sound was still.
& d heard some little warbler grieve
With such plaintive song and shrill,
a. earthly wrongs were all forgot
pity for its hapless lot.
cage that bird; the spring hath come,
And every wing is out at play
tn gentle winds the wild bees hum
mingled with the matin lay
laughing voices, mid the flowers
at deck the beauteous garden bowers.
