AN OUTCAST.

In the fall CT 1853, young man about
twenty-five years of age, named Grady, was
sentenced by the New London County Court
to hard labor in the Connecticut State
prison, for the crime of stealing. The term
of his Imprisonment expired last fall but he
begged the privilege of remaining till spring.
The warden kindly permitted him to stay,
and he found employment enough for him
to do to pay his way. On Monday of this
week, the severity of the winter being over,
and the spring work about to commence, it
was agreed that he should leave the prison,
and take care of himself, and he was fur
nished with three dollars. He came up to
the city, but the world seemed dark to him.
He felt that he was an outcast, and shrank
from intercourse with the world. In the
evening he returned to the prison, and beg
ged that he might be kept there the re-
mainder Of his days. The warden has taken

INSANE LOVERS.

In the LunatIc Asylum at Columbus is
pair of insane lovers. Mental anxiety of
peculiar character is supposed to have
deranged the intellect of the young man,
who was sent to the Asy lum some time ago.
Cured, it was hoped permanently, and sent
home, he fell deeply in love with a young
girl. While at home she returned his devo-
ton, and they became tenderly attached to
each other. But, unhappily, the malady
returned upon the young man; he was
separated from the object of his love and
sent back to the Asylum. Left to herself,
to muse upon her bereav ement, and the sad
destiny of her lover, the mind of the girl
became also affected, almost, as it might
seem, from sympathy-and it was not long
before she, too, was immured within the
walls which sheltered him. They are both
there now. Occasionally they seem to have
recovered their reason, and arc permitted
to hold interviews with one another. In
one of these, the poor girl begged her lover
to marry her, but he replied with melan-
choly real enough to bring tears from the
listeners,-"You know that we cannot be
married, Ellen, we are unfit for that happi-
ness-poor unfortunate creatures that we

PUNCH AND FANNY FERN.

s'What is the height of woman's ambition!
Diamonds. - Punch.
Sagacious Punch! Do you know the
reason? (says Fanny Fern,) 1t is because
the more diamonds a woman owns, the
more precious she becomes in the eyes of
your discriminating sex. What pair of
male eyes ever saw ''crow's foot" gray
hair, or wrinkle, in company with a genuine
diamond! Don't you go down on your mar
row bones and swear that the owner is a
Venus, Hebe, a Juno, sylph, fairy, and
angel! Would you stop to look connubially
at the most bewitching woman on earth
whose only diamonds were in her eyes?
Well, it is DO marvel, Mr.. Punch. The
race ofmen is about extinct. Now and then
you will meet with a specimen, but l am
sorry to inform you that the most of them
are nothing but coat-tails walking behind
moustache, destitute of sufficient energy to
earn their own cigars and ''Macassar," pre-
ferring to dangle at the heels of a diamond
wife, and meekly receive their allowance,
as her mama's prudence and fathers own
inclination may suggest.

MosLEM ESTIMATE OF CHILDREN.-Tho
Moslems rightly regard child as a trust
committed by God to its parents, who, they
hold, are responsible for the manner in
which they bring it up, and will be examined
on this subject on the day of Judgment
But they further venture 10 say, that ''thc
first who will lay hold of a man on the day
of Judgment will be his wife and children,
who (if he have been deficient in his duty TO
them) will present themselves before God,
and say, 20, our Lord, take for us our due
from him; for he taught US not that of which
we were ignorant, and he fed US with for
hidden food, and we knew not:' and their
due will be taken from him." BY this is
meant, that a certain proportion of the good
works which the man may have done, and
his children and wife neglected, will be set
down to their account; or that a similar
proportion of their evil works will be trans
mitted to HIS account.

MARRYING THE WRONG N1GGER

Soon as Leidesdorf Ia Free Negro) died,
and it became known that his property in
this city was immensely valuable, well
known gentleman then living here, but since
dead, left town in great hurry and was
absent some months, when he returned to
the great wonderment of his acquaintance,
who were entirely in the dark as to where
he had been, Or what he had been in pur suit
of. After a while It leaked out that he
had been to the West Indies, looking up
Leidesdorf's heirs, and finding, as was
said, female that he believed was the real
Simon Pure heir to the vast estate, he with
out ceremony popped the question, was ac-
cepted and married forthwith, congratulating
himself that Captain Folsom and all other
claimants would have to stand aside, while
he, the great nabob of California, would be
without rival in the Golden State. After
the marriage, in preparing the necessary
documents and getting testimony to SUBJ
stantiate the claims of his lady fair, he
found to his astonishment that he had made
a small mistake, and that in fact he married

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

1t must be evident (says the Louisville
Pimes) to every intelligent man, that either
democrat or black republican will be
elected the next President of the United
States. We must select between n nation
al conservative democrat and a regular
thorough-bred abolitionist of the Giddmgs
| and Greely school. The black republicans
will meet in Philadelphia in June next, and
will then present to the electors of the
nation a candidate who is the embodiment
of their principles and aims, and either he
or the nominee of the National Democratic
Convention will be the next President of
tho United States. The recent nomination
of Mr.. Fillmore by the know-nothings can
not alter or change this result one iota.-
The only possible effect it can have upon it
will be to prevent an election by the people,
and throw it into the House of Representa-
tives. But there the same issue presents
itself, and either the democrat or black
republican party must triumph. The duty
of the southern portion of the so-called
American party, under such circumstances,
is so plain that it requires no argument to
point it out. There is surely not anintelli-
gent member of the party whose Judgment
does not tell him that it is his duty to lay
down his arms and heartily cooperate with
the democratic party in preserving the Con-
stitution and the Union. No sane man,
who will calmly review the ground can
possibly entertain any hope of the election
of Mr.. Fillmore. Whatever strength Mr..
Fillmore may possess, is in States where
there are overwhelming majorities against
the know nothing party. He was nominated
by the southern members of the convention,
aided by portions of delegations from the
northern States, the major part having
already holted from the convention, and
repudiated its action. He goes into the
contest with not the ghost of a chance to
carry a single non-slaveholding State, and
with the very slimmest sort of hopes for one
or two slave States.

THE REBELLION IN KANSAS

Few people can be ignorant of the fact
that the Abolitionists have organized an in
dependent government in Kansas; and yet
scarcely word is heard in reprobation of
so palpable an act of revolt against the
legitimate authority of the Federal law and
Constitution. 1t is no incipient, inchoate
rebellion, but an actual, overt and consum-
mate treason. Not only is a separate sys-
tenn of government projected, but different
code of law has been enacted, and an inde-
pendent body of functionaries elected, in
direct antagonism to the legal action of the
Federal authority. And, as if to impart an
air of special insult and defiance to their
revolt, the traitors of Kansas have elected
Senators to the Congress of the United
States. If these people should levy war
against the United States or adhere to the
enemies of the country, they would not
more clearly and completely provoke the
penalties of high treason against the Gov
ernment.
In this ezigcncy tho President is not un-

ARREST OF ARMS FOR KANSAS.

The Lexington (Missouri) Express, OF
March 9th, states that the steamer Arabia
arrived at our wharf about sunrise this
morning. Immediately On landing, COM
mittee was despatched up town to inform
our citizens that person from Massachu-
sets was on board, having in his possession
one hundred Sharpe's rifles and two can
non, destined for service in Kansas, and
sent forward by the Massachusetts, Aid So
ciety. This information brought together
many of our most respectable and reliable
citizens, when a conference was had by
them with Mr.. Start" with a view of in
ducing him to leave the dangerous wea-
pons with our citizens for safe keeping
This he assented to, and delivered the
''goods" up, subject to the requisition of
Gov. Shannon, or his successor in Office
The proceedings were orderly, and although
the determination to arrest the arms was
decided, no one talked of violence. The
arms were boxed up and marked sCarpen-
ter's Tools" The discovery that they were
on board was made at or below Glasgow,
from letter, dropped by Mr.. S. in the cab
in, and picked up by a boy and handed to
Capt. Shaw, by whom it was read aloud in
the Social Hall. The passengers and Off
GERS were highly incensed at the disclosures,
but no indignity was offered to the misera-
BILE disorganizer.

THE CAMELS.

The camels and dromedaries purchased
and otherwise procured by Major Wayne
and Capt Porter, under the appropriation
made for the purpose at the last session of
Congress, in Asia Minor, (Feb. H. have
embarked, and the vessel would sail with
the first fair wind for the United States
The number of animals procured is 80, viz =:
male and Is female camels; male and
5 female dromedaries.
The vessel is expected to arrive at India
nola, Texas, about the last of April, at
which place they will be landed and suffered
to recruit before being employed for army
transportation purposes. Several of the
animals are present from the Viceroy of
Egypt to our Government.

KANSAS,

The editor of the New York Tribune,
who is now in Washington, says he has in
formation from a source he deems reliable,
that the Administration has ordered the
arrest of all the members of the Free State
Government of Kansas, and that president
PIERCE believes they are all in prison ere
this.
The following is from a late number of
the Kansas Herald: "Gov. Shannon has
returned to the Territory. He has all the
troops at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley,
about 1900, subject to his CALL The laws
of the Territory VIII be sustained at all ha-
yards, and good order maintained, despite
the efforts of the fanatics to agitate and
keep up strife. Col. Summer, at Fort Leav-
enworth, has received his instructions, to
keep his troops in readiness, subject to the
call of Gov. Shannon"

mindful of his duty. In issuing monitory
proclamation, in collecting troops in the
vicinity of the outlaws, and in invoking the
aid of Congress, he shows his determination
to enforce the laws and uphold the author
ity of the government IF he hesitates to
strike the blow, it implies neither want of
spirit nor disposition to tamper with the
rebels, but rather reluctance to resort to
extreme measures of repression, so long as
there is possibility of reconciliation.
Whether or not there is. to be a conflict
Of arms, as of authority, between the Federal
Government and the abolitionists of Kansas,
it is impossible to pronounce any very con-
fident opinion. But the difficulty is so COM
plicated, and such is the evaporation of
feeling between the hostile parties, that a
violent result seems inevitable.
Should the Kansas controversy be brought
to an issue of blood, the world will under
stand to whom to attach the blame. The
President will be guiltless for he VIII not
strike until he has exhausted every resource
of Establishment and expostulation- The
South will be guiltless, because it has stood
an inactive spectator of the struggle. For
every drop of blood that may be shed in
Kansas in support of the laws and authority
of government, the AboEtionists, and the
Abolitionists alone, will be responsible to
humanity.
If it be distinctly ascertained that the
people of the North are deliberately re-
solved not to respect the guarantees of
slavery, then should the South organize an
independent government, and protect it's
rights by force.
If the South is at last driven to this ex-
tremity, we may not only plead the justif-
cation of an adequate wrong, but we may
also plead the sanction of our adversaries,
