In Manchester maiden dwelt e E5as s8HG7s

Her cheeks were red. her hair was black, 3
And she was considered by good judges to b

Her age was nearly seventeen, Is 7rhasr4
Her eyes were sparkling bright, Wy
A very lovely girl she was, l.. +.

Is BRt e account Of his being obliged to worl

ss1l6 70 old Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
iHeE egHel parents were resolved
Another she should wed, ftis sssst s$
Il rich oId iIiisef the place,
ts And old Brown frequently declared that rather
than have his daughter marry Reuben Wrigh,
he'dsouler knock him on the head.
But Phabes heart was brave and strong,
= She feared not parents frowns
And as for Reuben Wright, so bold,
I've heard him say more than fifty times that
with the exception of PhGbe) he didn't care a
DIN for the whole race of Browns.
So Phoebe Brown and Reuben Wright
Determined they would marry;
Three weeks ago, last Tuesday night,
They started for old Parson Wheeler's deter
mined to be united in the holy bands Of matri-
5mony, though it was tremendous dark and rained
like the Old Harry.
But Capt. Brown was wide awake
He loaded up his gun,
and then pursued the loving pair
"a He overlook isan when they'd got about half
way to the Parson' 5, and then Reuben and Phnbe
started oil upon the run.
Old Brown then took a deadly aim
Towards young Reuben's head,
But, oh it was Aleedipg shame,
He made mistake and shot his only daughter,
and had the nnspeakable anguish Of seeing her
drop right down stone dead
Then anguish filed young Reuben's heart,
And vengeance crazed his brain,
7 He drew an awful jack-knife out,
: And plunged il into old Brown about fifty or
sixty times, 80 that it's very doubtful about his
ever coming TO again.
The briny drops from Reqben's eyes,
In torrents poured it down, gEa 21e
He yielded up the ghost and died,
And in this. melancholy and heart-rendng
manner terminated The history of Reuben and
PhDbe and likewise Capt. Brown.

The foil owing is an extract from letter from

empire:
II send you by this letter envoy ofmy own

by my commani to bear TO you my greeting and
good wishes, ana to promote friendship and
commerce between the two countries.
You know that the United States of Ameri-
ca now extends from 10 sea; that the great
countries Of Oregon anil California are parts OF
the United States; and that from these coun-
tries, which are rich in gold and silver N pre-
cious stones. our steamers reach the shores
of your happy Ian in less than twenty days"
MANY of ships will now pass in every

California and China.the>e ships must pass along
the coasts Of your Empire: storms and winds
NAV cause them To be wrecked on your shores
and ask and expect from your friendship
and your greatness, kindness for our men and
protection for our property. We wish that oul
people may be permitted to trade with your PEG
pie. but shall not authorize them to breal
any law Of your Empire
..Our object is friendly commercial intercourse

''Iour Empire contains great abundance o
coal: this is an article which our steamers in 90
ing from California to China must use. The,
would be glad that harbor in your Empir'
should be appointed to which coal might b
brought, and where they might always be abb
to purchase it.
'.In many other respects, commerce bet wecl
your Empire and our country would be usefu
10 both. Let us consider well what new inter

The Baltimore Patriot, in anticipating the
cent action of the House OF Representatives in
the adoption of "A resolution declaring the tina-
ty of the compromise measures, speaks out in
language which the whole South should hear and
heed. 1t says
I've should have preferred that all discus
sioa on the subject and all resolutions about it
had been avoided by Congress. The attempt
in this way to settle a ,ating questions, by open
ing the door for their discussion. seems to to
be neither wise effective. Resolutions may
be passed again and again, declaring that to be
settled which the law had already settled, but
while the power remains to repeal the law, there
can be such effective escape from agitation
about the compromise, but in the rigid obser
vance of Il determination of the ma jority of Con
gress, who favorable to the measures to take
part in any di>cuS>io about them. In this
way, it seems to Us the az ita,ion would be more
effcctualy silcnccd, and the 'fnatv' Of the
measure more cmphatically endorsed, than
they could be by passing resolutions every
day."
1.-THE leading men of the South in and out of
Congress. and the press of the South of all poll
teal parties would adopt the sensible advive Of
the Patriot there would be an end of agitation
for the sake Of agitation 1t would prove the
best and surcst 'tinallty' North and South.
