KIDNAPPING A WHITE GIRL.
From the Philadelphia Ledger, July 0, 1855.

FROM tne fhlaueiPha Ledger, July y, loo0
On Friday last, at an early hour in the morn
ing, white girl, fourteen years of age, the
daughter of Mr.. Samuel Godshall, residing with
in three miles of Downingtown, Chester county,
was carried away by two men, in close carriage,
q distance of twelve miles from her home, to-
wards the Maryland line. The girl had been
with neighbor for the past two or three weeks,
taking care of sick child, and on the morning
of Friday, while going along the road to drive
cow from the pasture field, she was accosted
by two strange men, very genteelly dressed, who
were standing near carriage, attached to
which were two horses.
They asked her name, and where she lived,
to which inquiries she gave answers without
hesitation, supposing that they were friends or
acquaintance of a gentleman residing in the
neighborhood. Without any further converse
ton, one of them opened a tin box, and took
therefrom what appeared to be pitch plaster,
which he instantly clapped over her mouth,
when both of them dragged her into the car
rage and drove off.
They passed, by an indirect route from the
place, through Coatesville, some three miles
beyond the latter place, and about twelve miles
from her home. Here they let her out upon
the road, in secluded and wooded portion of
the country, threatening to kill her If she made
any alarm, when they drove away as fast as
they could.
The poor girl, faint and sick from mental ex-
element and terror, scarcely knew where she
was or what to do, when she was met by two
colored persons, who assisted her in taking the
plaster from her mouth. and advised her as to
her course homeward. The girl succeeded in
getting to her home little before sunset, hav-
ing been all day absent. She states that the
fellows offered her no insult or personal vio-
lence, except that occasionally, when her sobs
and efforts to cry prevailed, they threatened to
knock her brains out with the whip.
The solution to this outrage is, that the men
mistook her for mulatto, and designed taking
her into the State of Maryland. Ascertaining,
however, while on the route, that they had made
prisoner Of q sun-burnt white girl, they conclu.

The TAMAEIND IN VIRGrNIA.-Wm. NJ. Sim
gleton, Esq, of Winchester, communicates the
following to the Commissioner of Patents:
"Of all the ornamental trees propaeated
among us, either foreign or native, there is
none, in my judgment, more desirable than the
tamarind. Its growth is rapid, its form sym.
metrical its foliage beautifully delicate, and it
is altogether highly ornamental; besides, it
is perfectly free from blight, as well as from the
depredations of insects. If cultivated ON our
Western prairies, it would doubtless form a val.
liable acquisition.
"From the growth of some tamarind seeds,
which obtained at a confectioner's shop some
eight years since, have tree standing in nv
yard, eighteen inches in circumference The
past season it perfected its fruit which, in quail
ity, was equally as good as that imported. The
seed may be sown in drills, about four inches
apart, and covered from two to three inches
deep, with light, rich soil. They may be sown
either in the fall or spring. If in the latter,
they should be exposed to the weather during
the winter previous, in order that their hull or
coverings may be acted on by the frost. When
grown to height Of three or four feet, the
young trees may be transplanted in the sites
where they are permanently to remain

TO MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN.

How of in ftful visions thou
Dost mock my weary, weeping eyes,
Nay, smiest full upon me now,
The brightest star in upper skies!
Let storms arise and lightnings play,
My precious things beneath the wave,
Hopes Anchor torn from earth away
Thou lightest all beyond the grave
Like thine, no star of other sphere
Could cheer the heart or catch the eye;
No star of Bthlehem, so clear,
Shines DER the Cross, and guides on high
How dark is earth without thee Mother,
This icy cline, how drear and chill,
This aching heart its pain mus; smother,
And suffer on in silence sull!
Yet sorrow, like our Northern cline,
harder race must e'er secure;
Its harvests ripen for all time,
And larger thought and sense mature.
Then let me love the moiberless,
And clasp them to my warm embrace,
Nor smile on him who dares Cypress,
because he finds a fallen race.
Thus let me learn the bliss Of life
To wipe away the falling tear,
To shield the weak from toll and strife,
And cause the iyrant crouch in fear
live in Memory's Holy Land,
Mothers arms about me still,
Yet would not here one moment stand
In silence DER this giant ill.,
