JOHN RANDoLpH.-A correspondent of the New
York Times, writing from Charlotte, Va, says:
The people here-the older class partcularly-tell
many interesting "reminiscences of the late John
Randolph. 1t was at this place he did most of his
court business, stopping generally at the tavern above
referred to during the term of the court 1t kept
in those days by Mr.. Cardwell, gentleman much
esteemed by Mr. Randolph, and one of the admins
traitors if not the sole administrator of his estate after
his DEATH While at supper one evening he asked the
waiter for some fresh butter. The waiter answered,
1" that is fresh sir !; it has just been made" " |
want some fresh butter, sir added Mr. Randolph, in
his usual shr tone of voice. The waiter hurried out
and informed Mrs Cardwell who was churning at the
time, what Mr. R. wanted. She expressed her sur
prise at his not being pleased with the butter on the
table, it being taken almost direct from the churn to
the table. However, she prepared little more and
sent it in by the waiter but it proved to be no more
acceptable than what was first supplied. No sooner
had he tasted it than he remarked, " asked you for
fresh butter, and you brought butter with salt in
it." The waiter Immediately FASTENED to Mrs. Card
well and communicated to her Mr.. Randoph's objec-
ton to the BUTTER whereupon she instantly provided
him with butter without salt and from that time not
q word of dissatisfaction was heard.
He was presented to the Grand Jury of that
county at one time for permitting his negroes to pick
corn on the Sabbath While the jury had the pre-
sentiment under consideration, he entered the court
house in rage, with q large whip in his hand and
inquiring particularly where they were in session,
threatened to whip the whole crowd should they dare
W HHu Dill against nlill BENG informed that they
were in an upper story room he made his way to-
wards it, but the jury oyerhearing his threats, dis
persed very unceremonionsly none being willing to
encounter his fury. The presentnlent was thus
peremptoriy squashed, and not word more said
upon the subject. There are many old papers of his
in the possession of parties in this neighbor,ood,
which, if published, would prove exceedingly inter
esting. His diary, which he is said to have kept
mostly upon the alternate blank pages of the almanacs
of the day, is said to betray faithfully the peculiar
eccentrieities of its author. 1t is said to include
every little incident in his domestic fe down to the
whipping OF his negro and the cause for SO doing.

miles from here,

AMERICANS IN PRIsoN.--The National Intelligencer
of the 18th furnishes the following intelligence:
Information having been received at the State De-
parment of the oppressive incarceration of two Amer
lean citizens-a shipmaser and his mate, we believe
by the authorities of the Haytien Republic, the
Department has made requisiton on the Navy De-
partment for vessel of war to sail Immediately to
Cape Haytien for the purpose of investigating the
circumstances. All the available vessels of the Navy
being now employed in watching the filibusters in
the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea, it will proba-
bly, be little time before the requsition can, at
the earliest, be complied with. The charge which
the two Americans imprisoned is said to be the
false one of having knowingly passed two.dollar
counterfeit Haytien bill.

EXERCISES FOR SCHOOL GIRLS,

The subject Of education is attracting much
attention in the country, and within the last
few years great Improvements have been made
But although much has been done, the work
of reformation is not complete. There is one
glariHg defect which must be remedied, ere We
can conscientiously remain quicscent This de
feet is the proper want Of physical exercise in
girls schools
In all the better classes Of boys schools, a
gymnasium is considered an indispensable ap.
pendage, while girls are suffered to grow up
without the advantages necessary for the per.
feet development Of the system.
As the occupations Of the female sex arc
more sedentary than those OF men, the former
should be armed with vigorous constitutions,
to enable them to perform their duties in life.
On the contrary, the greater portion Of girls
have no other exercise than walk to school:
which, however long, is insufficient to develop
the muscles Of the arms and chest.
Most Of the maladies and weaknesses OF
modern ladies are attributable TO the want of
proper physical training in youth; pale cheeks,
head ache, indigestion, and nervous debility,
are, in the majority Of cases, produced by the
same cause, from which also arises that scourre

Into this world of ours.
. Babic, dainty Babe Bell!
How fair she grew from day to day!
What woman nature filled her eyes.
What poetry within them lay!
Those deep and tender twilight eyes.
80 full Of meaning, pure and bright,
As if she yet stood in the light
Of those opened gates Of Paradise!
And we loved Babe more and more,
0, never in our hearts before
Such holy love was born;
We felt We had link between
This real world and that unseen
The land beyond the morn!
And for the love Of those dear eyes,
For love Of her whom God led FORTH
The mothers being ceased on earth
When Baby came from Paradise,)
For love Of him who smote our lives,
And woke the chords Of JOY and pain,
We said sweet Christi our hearts bent dow
Like yiocts after rain!
And now the orchards which were once
- All white and rosy in their bloom
Filling the crystal veins Of air
With gentle pulses of perfume
Were rich in Autumns mellow prime;
The plnms were globes of honcyed vino
The hyed sweets of summer time!
The ivory chestnut bursts its shell!
The soft checked peaches blushed and fell!
The grapes were purplng in the grange,
And time wrought just as rich change
In little Babie Bell!
Her tiny form more perfect grew,
And in her features We could trace,
In softcncd curls, her mothers face
Her angel nature rpened too.
We thought her lovely when she came,
But she was holy, sanity now y y 4
Around her pale angelic brow
We saw q slender ring of fame.
Gods hand had taken away the sea!
Which held the portals of her speech,
And oft she said q few strange words
Whose meaning lay beyond our reach.
She never was a child to us,
We never had her beings key;
We could not teach her holy things;
She was Christ's self in purity
IT came upon us by degrees;
We saw its shadow ere it fell
The knowledge that our God had sent
Ills messenger for Babe Bell?
We shuddered with unlanguagci pain,
And oil our hopes were changed to fears,
And our thoughts ran like tears,
Like sunshine into dismal rain!
And we cried in our belief
o smitc us gently, gently, God,
Teach us to bend and kiss the rod,
And perfect grow through grief.
Her little heart was cased in ours
Our hearts are broken, Babie Bell!
VII.
at last he came, the messenger,
The messenger from unseen lands:
And what did dainty Babe Bell?
She only crossed her little handst
Sho only looked more meek and fair,
We parted back her silken hair,
We laid some buds upon her brow
White buds like scented flakes of snow
Death bride arrayed in flowers!
And thus went dainty Babie Bell
Out of this world of ours!
