Written or tOld-exceeding beautiful.
But to describe personal charms is not my object.
It is only to relate how my heroine in one short day.
y met, loved and welded her liege lord.
The gentleman, proudly sustaining the char
acer of husband saw his BRIDE for the first lime,
the Monday evening. He, attracted by al
those nameleSS charms that lend enchantment to
beauty, soon became enanored with the fair one,
while the feeling became reciprocal the op-
posite side; for it became apparent
"She oves-but knows not whom she loves,
Nor what his race. nor whence he came;
Like one who meets, in Indian groves,
Some beauteous bird without name,
Brought by the last ambrosia breeze
From Isles in tn undiscovered seas"
The result was proposal and an acceptance, with
the consent Of the mother, and this mornings sun
witnessed the nuptials of Mr.. J. s., of Charleston
formerly of Petersburg, Va. to Miss c. E. c. Of
Richmond Va. Z"
The bridal party are now en- route for their des

A STRANGE OFFER.--We are informed by partie.
that profess to be we'll instructed in the whole mat
ter, that the Atlantic and Pacific Steamship Compa
ny has offered to our Government to take immediate
means to protect themselves our flag from the in
suits of the Spanish authorities of Cuba at it's owl
expense thereby relieving the Government from fur
Their trouble expense in the matter. The propo
stion, if true is certainly very strange one, ami it
very novelty will brighten present administra
ton out of its senses. 1t will have TO ascertain tn
sentiments of England the subject, before it will
dare to move.-Neu York Day Book.
An article in the New York Herald shows wha
this company's means and appliances are:
The Law line contains nine or ten large steam
ers. They could be transformed into powerful wa
steamers in couple of weeks each capable of carry
ing to Cuba, in five days from any part Of the Uni
ted States, 1000 to 5000 good troops-amountine
in round numbers to 40 900 or $4,000 men-all ca
ger for action, George Law, himself, has also o
hand about 10000 or 400 600 muskets and anu
milton for campaign of a month in Cuba could b
got in ten days. If the Government of the Unite
States were only to stand by and see fair play La,
could expel the Spanish power from Cuba withou
any aid from the public purse, but merely by hi
resources, in less than three months. He ha

The TARIFF.-The Journal OF Commerce says :
The Protectonis the most unfortunate set of me
on record. They are forever at work trying to e
their hands little deeper into the pockets of the pee
pie, but al the moment when they 10 be most SUI
OF the prize some untoward event disappoints the
hopes. Their latest mishap, just the OF
Tempt 10 increase the Tariff and when Committee
Inquiry already in the discharge of lis duties pre-
paratory 10 report early in the next session Of Con
gfeSs, is large increase an the prices CT iron
beyond what asked by our iron men year ag
in the shape of protection. This event. too, occurn
ust before the Presidential election will be very Xix,
y 10 dlsappoint the hopes of the Protectionsts in
gard to the vote of Pennsylvania. As long as ever,
thing is prosperous it is difficult TO convince men III
both they and the country are going TO ruin. The Of
ly change which is likely 10 be made in the Tariff
the next session, in The dimnulion or repeal of II
duties certain articles of material, dye stuff
&c. This so far as it can be done without affeclir
agricultural interest, is legitimate movemen
