wh,t races those long years haye 'elt

Won were u gay young glfl, mary,
When beheld YOU last,
And fear you are 4 woman now,
That these two years have passed

These long yet happy years,
And I've made another home. Mary.
With its own new hopes and ieirS
Yes faces that you never saw,
Have loving smiles for me,
And voices that you never heard
Are full! OF melody
But the dear old times come back, Mary,
The places which We loved,
The dear rooms where we used 10 sir
The meadows where we ro'ed;
The SONGS are humniing IN my ears,
That often you have sung,
And see the scenes we looked upon,
When you aud were young
Ay-voung for though few years, Mary,
Have fitted DER cach head,
Vet INV heart. like desert sands, retain
The deep marks of their tread!
And you-are you the same, Mary,
The same blythe joyous girl,
Whose smile still as beautiful
AS the sunlight on each curl!
used TO love you dearly then, :.
And dearly love you yet,
For around you cling fond memories
That ,rM not now forget!
You were my boyhoodds love, Mary,
And that love was deep and strong,
Though il found no tongue in spoken words,
1t was often told III song
II has faded now and gone, Mary,
Blu, its spell is with you YET,
And think of that dear dream, Mary,
With sigh of fond regret
Regret thar aught SO beautiful
Should fade without trace;
Even though tcarcr love, Mary,
Now occupies its place;
That was boyish passion dream,
That can never come again
And only think most mourntully
fits pleasure and its pain
Yet it left So deep trace, Mary,
That even now il seems
Almost as though lived once more
Amid those childish dreams.
1t may be that on earth, Mary,
We never meet again,
And the wind harp vi your memory
For me will have no strain,
So shall ever think OF you
As bcheld you last
Though kno,c You are woman now
Since these two years have passed!

he took lodgings for the night His visit was wholly
unexpected to nearly every one and being personally
unknown to most of our people, he found his way into
the Hotel almost unobserved
However, lew moments afterwards became
known who our distinguished visitor was and quite a

The FUGITIVE SLAvE, BoLpING.-We publish
to-day, the elaborate opinion of Mr.. Commissioner
Nelson, in the case of Boiling, fugitive from
Columbia, South Carolina. 1t will be seen that,
in the opinion of the Commissioner, the claimants
fully made out their title, and consequently an
order for the extradition of the fugitive was prompt
y granted.
This is justly regarded as the most interesting
case that has arisen under the Fugitive Slave law
The abotonists resorted to the most novel devices
to defeat the ends of the aw--contend1ig thai
Boiding (who is represented as bright mulatto)
could not be slave, because he was not OF AT
rican descent, and. had no African blood In his
veins, and that it became the duty OF his claimants
to establish the fact that his mother was slave
and of African descent, before they could hold
him. Learned Professors of Physiology and
Prenology were found in the city of New York;
who gave it as their opinion that the fugitive was
an Indian, because his high cheek bones and gen
eral features were entirely opposed 10 his being
negro The Commissioner very properly set
aside the testimony of these learned professors,
and honestly and faithfully discharged his duty
u DueI NE law.
The desision in this case will still farther serve
to convince the rejecting portion OF the people oil
the South of the disposition of the Northern Courts
and the Northern people TO comply with the pro-
visions of the Fugitive Slave Law. But we i'm
agine it will be "gall and wormwood" 10 the "Fire-
eaters of South Carolina. 1t will deprive the
master-spirits of Secession of one additional
argument at least, in favour of the dissolution O.
| the Union.
The New York Tribune Of Tuesday publishes
the following note from the U. S. Marshal, from
which it will be seen that the Fugitive Slave has
been sent to South Carolina and that his "friends'
have not yet raised the amount necessary to pur.
chase his freedom:
In relation to the slave John Boding, would state
he has been sent South Carolina under the decision
of the Commissioner. He has gone under the charge
of my Deputy. When $4,000 is paid to me l am
to hold the same, telegraph to South Carolina and his
have him returned under charge of The same
Deputy; and his being delivered safe in this city, and
his master executing the papers, satisfactory TO the
counsel Tor the slavesl to pay the money If
these conditions not complied with, the money is

1t being understood that 81 500 is demanded for the
slave, and the $500 for the expenses OF his reclamation

MASON COUNTY SALT WORKS.

We learn, on the authotty OF gentlemen from Mason
county, Virginia. that about twelve miles above the
mouth of the great Kanawha River on both sides of
til Ohio, salt water has been found abundance
and OF quality in every respect equal TO the celebra
ted wells OF Kanawha Already six or seven wells
have been sunk, and others are in progress. Several
hundred barrels OF Petroleum, rock oil, have been
procured in sinking OF these wells The fine quail
ty OF the water the great abundance OF the supply,
and the inexhausbie beds OF coal lying upon u
convenient level with the salt furnaces, in all the
adjacent hills, give promise OF rich field for the
enterprise OF fellow citizens OF the West. The
wells are sunk the River for the convenience
OF shipment, while the coal is mined by horizontal
drifts cut in the sides of the surrounding hills, and
machinery of any kind. These advantages TO the salt
makers of Mason and their neighbors in the State
OF Ohio, cannot lai to give permanent to the
business How far this saline placer will affect the
old works the Kanawha, not prepared to say.
But their being situated the Ohio river, only twelve
miles from the mouth OF the Kanawha, while the old
works are about sixty miles up that river will give adj
vantages which must necessarily be felt and the more
SO, while the Kanawha remains unmproved Ifthe
new salt basin should become productive as the old,
(Which it is supposed is by improbabe,) he
held tor consumption must be enlarged. This can be
done by either of two ways, or by both combined
Diminish the price OF the article where produced, or
that OF transportation TO the points OF consumption or
do BOTH and the object will be effected TO certain ex-
tent 1t becomes a question OF immediate interest to
all parties concerned 10 look these subjects fully in face.
But what can be done towards increasing the use of

the completion OF our great lines OF internal improve

pendent upon the North, and lost TO necessary
