GLAD TO SEE THEIR HUsBGSps.-
When the Golden Age came in yester-
day, considerable excitement was Gre
ated by nice looking little lady, who,
when the boat arrived, was dancing,
clapping her hands, and Jumping as il
she would jump out Of her stockings,
exclaiming, there's my husband, there's
my husband;' and kissing her hand to
a gentleman on the wharf. When the
steamer was near enough, the happy
fellow jumped on board, to the great
delight and amusement of the crowd,
who by their shouts appeared to sympa-
thize most heartily with the. married
lovers. Another lady, equally joyful,
was doomed to disappointment, as the
gentlemen to whom she had been kiss
ing her hand was not the man after all.

One o'clock had arrived, he took a
glass of wine; his hands and feet were
fastened, the rope adjusted by the sher-
iff, and he stood upon the platform
He then requested that-he might give
the signal when all was ready. He
borrowed a handkerchief to make it
with, the cap was drawn over his head,
and about ten minutes after one, with
the words, 81 die an innocent man," he
dropped the signal and the drop instan-
taneously fell, launching him down
about six feet Not struggle nor any
thing like a tremor eyinced the suffer
ing Of pain.
His pulse became feeble and inter-
mittent in two or three, and ceased to
beat in eight minutes afterwards. No
action Of the heart was perceptible at the
expiration of twelve minutes, and at the
end of forty minutes he was taken down.
The physicians present-Drs. Strong
and Gleneland-examined him, and
found the neck broken by the fall.
Many persons present were unable to
restrain their tears at many of the touch
ing remarks of the prisoner, speaking of
his wife and child, or while he was ma
king his last preparation for death.
The arrangements were in every re-
spect complete. and Nh. Spangler and
his assistants, in the discharge Of this
painful duty, have displayed great dis
cretion, and care for decorum, order and
promptness.

Sweet eve Of May, beside my window lonely
Ilock rand gaze. into those oros of light
That shine above me. The rustling wind

. The deep tinged foliage, slightly thinned
comes soft
And gentle to my brow, as here 1 sit,
Alone.
My soul grows full at such an hour,
The very tone that woke sweet memorie
through
Its isles of old, is in my ear again, and all
The hopes. the joys, the ills. the wild unrest
OF girlish days, and later years, throw back
Their spell upon my heart
Tonight
Oh what in life's long chain of woe and bliss,
Isthere so dear, as the holy memories
OF pure sacred love. Yes, my heart is linked
To thine, dear absent friend, by many dream
of bliss,
Andmany aclinging hope, toObright, for aughi
In world Ikethis This evenings beauty
Bears me back to hours spent with thee,
When all nature seemed to breathe the
Voiceless elOquence Of love,
And my sky with hope was bright.
But let me say,
think with thee, that dark fOrgetfulness
Cannot steal the souls idolized; past idols
May be no longer wOrshiped by the deep,
Holiest ardor of the sonl's heart of
Hearts, but neverl no, never, can they be
Forgotten, for objects once loved,
Are still cherished, and forever,

AN ACUROSTIC.
FATHERS ADVICE TO HIS SON.
BY J. @.
The storms are gone. the winters past,
Here spring has come to us at last,
o rich perfume, how sweet the flowers,
Meet Ger our heads upon the bowers,
And twining honeysucles there
Send fragrant flowers to fill the air.
Delightful though these things appear,
Our life may close before the year.
Since man. is doomed to fade away,
Each hour should warn us of decay.
Each closing year should teach us all,
Kingdoms may rise, and kings may fall.
Here let the warning voice be heard,
Enticing man TO seek the Lord,
And thus preparefo wear crown
View him who sits upon the throne;
Eternal happiness TO impart,
Nor ever fails 20 cheer the heart.
ny
Come. let,us seek that happy state,
LIES scenes will here soon terminate;
Our worldly pleasures here shall end;
Death though foe will be our friend:
His work soon done then we shall soar
On wings of love to Canaan's shore;
Passing away to worlds above,
Entering the place where all is love,
Rest to our souls We there shall prove,
April, 1855.

A "MODEL DUS."-An editor 'toui
west" thus talks to his dear non-payine
subscribers and patrons:
Friends Patrons, Subscriber, and
Advertisers:-Hear US for our debts,
and get ready that you may pay; trust
US, we are in need; and have regard for
our need, for you have been long trus-
ted; acknowledge our Indebtedness, and
dive into your pockets that you may fork
over. If there be any among you, one
single patron, that don't owe us some
thing, then to him we say--step aside;
consider yourself gentleman. If the
rest wish to know why we dun them,
this is our answer: Not that we care
about cash ourselves, but our creditors
do.
Would you rather that we go to jail,
and you go free, than you pay your
debts, and we all keep moving? As we
agreed, we have worked for you; as we
contracted, we have furnished our pa
per to you; as we promised, we have
waited upon you; bat as you don't pay,
we dun you'll Here are agreements for
job work, contracts for subscription;
promises for long credit; and funds for
deferred payment. Who is there so
mean that he don't take paper? If
any, he needn't speak-we don't mean
him. Who is. there so green that he
don't advertise? If any, let him slide
-he aint the chap either. Who is there
so bad that he don't pay the printer?---
If any, let him shout-for he is the man
we are after. His name is Legion, and
he's been owing us for one, two, three.
four, FIVE, six, seven and eight years
long enough to make us poor, and him.
self rich at our expense. If the above
appeal to his conscience doesn't awake
him to a sense of justice, we shall have
to try the law and see what virtue there
is in writs and constables.

The NEW REGIMENTs.-By a clause
il the bill authorizing the raising OF four
new regiments in the army, it seems
that the commissions of all the officers
inthem below the grade Of field officer
expire on the first day of May, 1856
This may operate harshly upon those
who have given up other employments
TO accept those commissions. iet

A WIrTY- CoNvrcr.-Waid, Oas al
the persons convicted Of horse stealing
at the last term of the Knox Circuit
Court, seems to have been quite a wag
The Vincennes Nsscs of TIE Day, IN
giving an account of his conveyance tc
the penitentiary, up the Ohio, on board
of a steamboat, says:
He generally stood in the Social Hal
with his hat of, apparently the mos
happy, self-possessed and complaisan
fellow on board, and always had witty
reply for any interrogatory.
The boat landed at small town or
the Ohio river. and a gentleman came
on board and recognized Waid as one
of the most conspicuous persons aboard
and addressed him as follows:
"Good evening, sir, going far up the
riyer9"
"Well, no, guess not farther than
Louisville or Jacksonville at present. "
81 think, sir, / have seen you some
where?"
every probable, sir. my business has
been very extended, and has caused me
to visit most of the towns in Indiana and
Kentucky"
"Were you ever at -"
"Oh, certainly sir"
"Were you acquainted with -?'
every well, he once did me a great
favor, for which l shall never forget
him."
"Well, sir, he was my partner and
brother-in-law, and / should be pleased
TO have you go to my house at --
and spend a few dsys-I am sure my
wife would be glad to see you."
81 should be delighted, sir, to spend
few days with you and your amiable
family, but it would be utterly impossi-
ble at this time; l am compelled to be
at JeffersonVille tomorrow to attend to
some very important private business;
but may call on my return, which may
not be longer than fve years."
At this instant the passenger cast his
eyes to the floor, and perceived the
chains which hobbled Waid's feet, and
it was ludicrous in the extreme to wit
ness the poor fellows confusion and the
surprise depicted in his countenance,
as he commenced crawfsking to the 9TH
er side of the boat, amid the roars of
laughter from all who had witnessed the
scene.
Waid coolly remarked without a
smile:
"Don't be alarmed, sir, 1 assure you
| am in earnest, and shall certainly try
10 call upon my return. AS for these
marks of esteem and consideration (re-
fering to his chains placed upon me by
that gentleman (pointing to the Sheriff.
they only tend to convince you how
highly my company is esteemed by my
travellers, and when l arrive at
my station, and take possession of my
office, 1 will remember you to the Gov
ernor."
The effect of this speech upon the
and crew can be better i'm
igined than described.

o lament.

Justice Osborn Vt sterdsy, on hearing, discharged
all the parties arrested last Thursday evening BY
Police Captains Turnbull and kssner at No. SIS
Broadway, declaring that their arrest was utterly
unwarrantej This is in accordance with the al
most universal public sentiment. II the meetings
held twice a week at that place are in contraSen-
ton of any law, let them be proceeded against
and broken up according to law; il individuals
who attend those meetings commit any unlawful
act either there or else where, let them be dealt
with as the law directs; but the peacesbe assem-
bage of two or three hundred people for conyersa-
ton, music dancing and kindred recreations. is
not legal offense, and the Police are not justified
in arbitrarily suppressng it, Such 10 declared to
be the law here as elsewhere, and as such il must
be hencefOrth respected and obeyed.
And now that the rights of the persons thus
assembling have been indicated, let the truth DO
proclaimed on all sides. Mr.. Henry Clspp, jr., and
other frequenters of The Club " say the designs
ton Free Love" has been falsely given it, and
that it has been exposed to undeserved odium by
the expose lately made in THE TRIBUNE We
think not. Our account did not represent
"Free-Love" as the sole idea and purpose Of
The Club" nor have we ever so presented it. But
Free. Love-" and freedom generally to do what
ever directly breaks no mans leg nor picks his
pocket, is the ruling dogma of Mr.. Stephen Pearl
Andrews, the designer, founder and chief OF
The Club" and is accepted also by most If not
all of his associate leading spirits therein Mr..
Capp himself does not deny that he is one Of this
sort. We do not know that any of Mr.. Andrsws's
supporters disclaim the Free Love" theory.
Nor will it be denied that many if not most OF tho
visitors were drawn thither either by sympathy
with this idea or by curiosity excited in connection
Herewith. Doubtless, many went thther who
were not Free Lovers, just as many 90 to Pres
byterian church who are not Presbyter'ans; but
that does not change the character of the place.
"FreeLoye" was the chief attraction Of The
"Club the practical bond of union among its
members. In it's absence, go The Club" would
never have gained nor retained it's popularity.
That same Free Love is in our view most
pernicous, perous destructive sophism, sure to
work the ruin of thousands if allowed to attain
general acceptance; and yet well adapted to gain
currency with the sensual and inconsderate in this
age of nepation and restriction Of the powers and
functions of government. Believing it to be In
tensely mischevous, we have endeavOred 10 drag

which it had enyelOped itself, and expose it to the
LIGHT of discussion We trust nothing moro is
needed to ensure ts general and earnest reproba-
ton But, should further calculation seem neces-
sary, we shall not hesitate to do what shall appear
TO be our duty.

The Republicans of the Ninth Ward held
meeting last evening at the Bleecker-street hail. to
which those friendly to the Republican ticket, aud
none others were invited. In the midst of its de-
liberations party of Know-Nothings came in and
commenced interrupting the speakers, hOoting
yelling, groaning, &c. They were INDUCED to the
extreme of good nature, and then the speakers re-
sumed and concluded their remarks. Leigh,
~ Ggh!" was now bawled by the intruders, and
finally Mr.. c. c. Leigh, though he had not been
advertised and had not intended to speak, rose to
respond to the CALL when he was met By shower
of yells, hootings groans &c, which rendered it
impossible that he should be heard. The very
men who called him out were those who would
not ct him be heard, when they had no more
RICH; in that meeting, except as silent listeners,
than in any private citizens parlor. The meeting
soon after adjourned when the Hindoos continued
tlei: performances, cheering for Erastus Brooks,
(wh) is not candidate in that District and
making all manner of noises but those which ex.
pres ideas.
This was q fair exemplifcation of the spirit
which deluged Louisville in blood and burned
dwellings over the heads Of defenseless women
and children. The Hindoos are doubtless stronger
in the Ninth than in any other Ward of our City:
and il the precedent they last night set is to be
followed, there are several Wards Of our City in
which they can never hold meeting We trust,
however that all other parties will scorn to fol.
low an example 90 shamefully defiant of Right
and Liberty.
