I Love the Night.

love tho night when the moon streams
bright
On flowers that drink the dew,
When cascades shout as the stars peep out
From houndless fields of blue;
But denrer far than moon or star,
Or. flowers of gaudy hue.
Or bubbliiig trills of mounts ain rils
! love'i love- love roc!
love TO stray, at the close of dny,
Through groves of linen trees,
When warblcd notes from song birds threats
Are vocal in the breeze.
love the night the glorious night,
When hearts beat warm and true;
But far above the night, I love.
/ love, love, lovc--you!

Among the suitors Of this young lady, who is
pretty accomplished, was one of very all
ranced years; but it was i'll vain that all the
nHurements consequent upon the possession Of
riches were set forth. The fair maiden show
cd herself completely Indifferent to the & ollcn
prize that lay at her feet, and in spite of the
strong recommendation Of papa" it WAS un-
hesitatingly rejected. So far, therefore, every
thing was perfectly natural and very unro-

even to the extent of 100000, to place her

A VIRGINIA SKErcH.-Many years ago
when the Old country Of Monongaia was
bounded upon the cast by Maryland
when the trusty rifle WAS the onl v defence
of the "pale tacc"--a hunter of Mononea-
lin left his rude cabin to try his luck in the
hunting Of game. The day was pleasant,
and after strnlliug for hours over the rough
peaks OF Bricry Mountain, our hunter was
caught miles from his rude home in drencll-
ing, autumnai rain. Weary and wet, he at
length found n shelter of bark hastily con-
str,cted by a former adven:urer WHO had
likewise been engaged in the hunt. This
retreat was gladly taken possession of by
FELTON,, the hunter, who had not occupied it
but few minutes when, looking through Il
crevice Of his shelter lie discovered, not
more than twenty-five yards from him, a
large wild cat quietly lonnging upon log.
Fc!ton Immediately p'incd his gun afrcsh,
and taking deliberate aim at the varmint,
fired. Tie old rifle did lis work well, and
dqwn tunblel the cat. Fulton reloaded his
gun and WAS surprised upon looking again
at the log to see the wild cat again upon it,
This time he was more careful in taking aim
aud when the smoke cleared away the cat
was missing, no doubt havin. received this
time fatal shot. In few minutes the
rifle WAS reloaded and behold, the wild cat
is soccupying his usual place on the log
Something wrong" thought the hunter,
and after examining Lis gun carefully, lie
concluded to "try again" -"bang" went the
gun, and down tumhled the cat. "Guess
you won't get up this time. said FELTON,,
and after waiting some time to see, FELTON,
concluded TO 30 to the log. and found on
the opposite sile from his shelter three wild
cats. wcltering in their blood. FELTON, cx-
plains it by saying that the wild cats had
found the carcass Of a deer near the log,
and while one Of the gang WAS acting SEN
try upon the log, the rest were enjoying the
feast and as often as the sentinel was Killed
another took his place. FELTON, is now an
old man. lie still lives upon Bricry Noun
tain and keeps the old rifle as the compan-
ion of his early years. Some may think
this is a mere story of a hunting yarn-bnt
all who know the old man give him credit
for lrutl:fulness and integrity. "'.f

GOING TO TEXAS.

A gentleman who has spent a greater portion Of
his life on the western borders of Missouri. who
is familiar with the entire workings Of the institu
ton of slavery, and who is at this time a heavy
STAKEHOLDER, assured US the other day, that the
property holders of that State, who have been
compelled to pay the expenses of those marauding
expeditions into Kansas, have fully determined to
array themselves, with all the power they can
command, against further interference by the peo.
pie of that State, with tie institutions OF Kansas
lie said the day had gone by when there was even
u hope of m,king Kansas a slave State. Every
intelligent person, who knows the true state of az
fairs" said he, knows this to be the case" lie
claimed that Stringfeilow and Atchison might con-
;inue to buster, but if left to themselves, instead
of hurting others. like Col. Benton's bull, they
would kill themselves "splurging."
Already many persons in Missouri, who appre.
hended all was lost if Kansas could not be made a
slave State. are preparing to leave with their
slaves for Texas. This is but the natural effect of
the foolish statements of the demagogues of Mis-
souri,, who said "slave labor would he valueless il
Kansas was an abolition State" The assertions
Of those men, that Missouri would be d free State
in ten years, it Kansas should be a free State, has
done more to make it such, than all the action of
the Northern men combined.-hanSas Herald Of

RIGHTS OF CoLoRED PEopLE.--The case of j. W
G. Pennington versus the Sixth Avenue Railroad
Company, which was an action for assault and bat
terry founded upon the fact of the plaintiffs expul
sion from one of the defendants cars on account
of his color, was tried last week in the Superior
Court, Judge Slosson presiding. Edward j.
Phelps and F. A. Talmadge argued the cause Of
the plaintiff. while Messrs. Schell, Slesser and
Hutchins appeared for the defendant. There was
no serious difference as to the facts in The case
the Railroad Company admitting that the plaintiff
had been expelled from the car, but contending
that, MS it had provided seperate cars for the use OF
colored persons, it could legally exclude any per.
son of that class from the rest of its conveyances,
The Argument of MIR. Phelps (son of the late U. S.
Senator from Vermont) for the plaintiff is said by
those who listened to it to have done credit not only
to his great ability as n lawyer but to his princi-
plies as a man. The Judge leaned strongly IN fa-
vor of the wrong side, and the jury, after deliber-
ating two hours, rendered a verdict in favor of the
defendant. We learn that the case has boen APP
pealed to a higher court.-4 S. Standard.
