THE STEAMSHIP BLACK wARRieE.

COMMUNICATED.
Tombs VS.. Davis.

Mr.. Tombs' reply to Col, Davis letter to
Col. Gaskil!, has appeared, and | propose, very
briefly, to give my views Of the present stand
ing of the case between them.
In the first place, Col. Davis charged Mr..
Toombs with being radically corrupt provid-
ed he had made charge against him, which
he believed he had made. That is the sub
stance of the first statement
Mr. Toombs denies having made the charge
expressly declaring, that he has wound up
his business with Mr.. Gaskill, with whom he
intends to raise no more accounts, and aludes
to Col Davis departure from the usual rule
among gentlemen. in not first applying to him.
Now, as a matter of course, the affair is at
an end. Col. Davis had the temerity to adopt
the course he did, which, although it may not
be the usual course, is perfectly legitimate,
and any gentleman is at liberty to pursue it,
if he feels willing to take the responsibility
and it comes very poorly ont Of Mr. Toombs'
mouth to complain of il, because he himself
departed from an imperative rule among gem
temen, in denying having made charge, for
which he had been denounced, in the round
est terms, without being asked to explain,
whereas Col. Davis adopted one of two cours-
es, each perfectly allowable The ditfetence,
therefore, is that, Col. Davis put on old lIico-
RVS boots and "took the consequences" and
Col. Toombs slipped on Fastifs pumps, and
once in his life, become quite discreat. Col.
Davis, consequently, is apAhe end of his row,
unless he chooses to take pity on Mr.. Toombs,
and it is to be presumed that the latter gen.
tleman will take drink and drop it" at his
own expense at that, if Col. Davis did't care
to throw in," or if the Col. is very nice about
it he would drop it." aoithout the drink.
As to zone Gaskill," see nothing for him
to do for Mr.. Toom bs was very particular, il
his reply, to raise the Irishman's cry to the
hornet" one at time genttcmen."- Georgia

Of the question; they are fresh no doubt; they
never fall in love until mamma tells them that
Mr.. so.andso is an amiable young man, and is
very eligible; they never ilirt with Capt Smith

and think what charming dashing fellow he
is. they never hear the young Cnrate read
his sermon so sweetly, and think how pale and
interesting he looks, and how lonely he must
feel in his curate-house, and what a 10 lie
work it would be to share the solitude, and
soothe the pains and listen to the delightful
doctrine of so excellent man; they never
think of attaching themselves to any mortal

wait like so many fortresses, to be attacked

blockade or by bribery, or capitulation, or fire
escaade.
Whilst ladies persist in maintaining the
strictly defensive condition, men must natur-
ally, as it were, take the opposite line, that Of
attack; otherwise, if both parties held aloof,
there would be no more marriages; and the
hosts would die in their respective naction,
without ever coming to battle. Thus, tits
evident that as ladies will not, the men must
take the offensive. !, for my part, have made
in the course Of my life, at least score fchiv-

An Episode
IL THE LIFE or a CALIFORNIA MINER.

IN Ahh LIZ = w - N-N'''' N'N''N--
The following episode in the life of Cali
fornia MINER has been furnished us, says the
Cincinnati Times, by one of our correspondents
now in the mines
"A yonng man in one OF the cities of an
Atlantic State, in moderate circumstances
courted the daughter of wealthy merchant,
but was refused her hand in marriage. They
eloped, and were discarded. They had been
married but n few months, when business cal
led the young man to the principle city of a
neighboring State. Shortly after his arrival,
he received package from his wife, contain
ing his own miniature her wedding ring, and
other souvenirs he had given her, together
with letter informing him that he not re-
turn hoping to find her, as she had abandoned
him and gone home to her father The day
after found the young man on board steamer
| bound for California. Here he met with un-
usal success but sickness overlook him, and
while on the hard bed of atilicton, (hard, in
deed it is in this country,) the kindness Of a
young ady--the daughter of the proprietor
of one Of the numerous branches located in the
mining diStricts--who attended him astonish-
iugy during his illness, so won upon his heart
that he wooed and won her, intending to make
her bis wife so soon as the legal disability
would permit. He sent her home to his father
desinging to follow her at the expiration OF the
time allotted by law for the granting of di
vorce, which had nearly expired.
"The next day after the steamer had lef
San Francisco, which bore her from him, b,
ehanced to glance at the old list of ADVERTISED
letters, and saw one for himself, which haC
been in the office some months. On receiving
it, what was his SURPRISE to find it was from
his long lost wife. Enclosed was q tninatur,
of herself and child-a child that he had ney

accompanying his miniature, &c, which sh
had sent him, was forced from her through

i gave up the search as fruitless. BY chanc
she met with his name in a California pape

The Travellers Story.

A party Of travellers were seated around
blazing fire, in tavern upon the Allegheny
modntains. The coach had broken down, and
retorce we were detained until the next morn
ing. We had finished substantial Virginia
supper, and, each one, with his feet on the
fender, and Gig r in his mouth, Illuminating
upon the storm without, and the warm cosy
comfort within Each one in his turn told
story or related an anecdote; and at last the
Joke came round to hollow checked individ-
ual, who, until then, had remained silent.
Gentlemen" said he, fixing a piercing
gray eye upon one of the company-a Span
iard-who uninvited had drawn his chair up
to the fire, "some ten years ago | came near
being murdered in this very house."
At this moment the Spanard got up and
was gong out of Che room, when the narrator
arose and locking the only door in the room,
took the Spaniard by the arm, and leading
him to an old picture surrmounted by the Eng
tsh coat Of arms, in gilt work, ran his finger
along the motto:
"IIoni soft qui nally pense,"
said. displaying at the same time but end Of
a large pistol" Evil to him who evil thinks.
The Spaniard smiled and said he did not
feel well, but the stranger swore that no man
should leave the room until he had finished
the story. Requesting us not to be amazed
at his conduct he proceeded:
"Some years ago (said ne,) was travelling
over these mountains on horseback and /
stopped at this very house. The landlord was
exceedingly obsequious in attending to my
comfort, and, after supper he requested me to
to Join him in bottle Of wine. Nothing
loath, consented, and before midnight, four
empty bottles stood on the table end, and he
was acquainted with all my business.

of my conversation, that | had a very large

formed me that he would take care Of it till

GOOD TEMPER.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

By CHARLES SWAIN.
There's not cheaper thing on earth,
Nor vet one half so dear;
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth.
Or thousands gained year.
1t lends the day new delight
'Tis virtues warmest shield;
And adds more beauty to the night
Than all the stars they yield.
1t maketh poverty content;
To sorrow whispers peace;
1t is y gift from heaven sent
For mortals to increase.
1t meets you with a smile at morn;
1t lulls you to reposo;
A Flower for peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to Danish grief away,
70 free the brow from care;
Turns tears to smiles, makes dulness gay
Spreads gladness everywhere;
And yet It's cheap as summer-dew,
That gems the lily's breast;
A talisman for love as true
As ever man possessed.
AS smiles the ra nbow through the cloud
When threat'ning storm begins
AS music mid the tempest loud, ff
That stiA its sweet way wins
As springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes this seraph to our side,
~ This angel Of our home.
What may this wonderous spirit be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright divinity,
Good nature-nothing more!
Good temper-'ts the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
An can the poorest peasant lift
To bliss unknown to kings.

happen at the house where she lives at least
four or FIVE times before breakfast You
should know how late she lies in the bed in
the morning. And you shall take notise
whether her complexion is the same in the
morning as in the evening, or whether the
wash and towel have robbed her of her even
ing bloom. And you should take care to sur
prise her so that you may see her in the
morning dress, and observe how her hair looks
when she is not expecting you.
Ifpossible YOU should be where you can hear
the morning conversation between her and
her mother. If she is il-natured and snap
pish to her mother, so she will be to you, de-
pend upon it, But if you find her up and
dressed neatly in the morning, with the same
countenance, the same ready and pleasant al
swers TO her mother; which characterized her
department in the evening" and particularly
if she is lending hand TO get breakfast, ready
in good season. she is prize, Jack, and the
