Sits the Lady Julia
In her chamber fair,
Loose the unbound tresses
OF her golden hair.
Sweeping in their brightness
Shoulders white, and bare.
Gone the glittering jewels
That an hour ago
Shone with purest radiance
On her brow of snow,
The diamonds starry l~ustre,
The ruby's sunset glow.
And the words that sweetly
From her lips did fall,
When she stood the brightest
In the festal Hall
'Mong her gay admirers;
Now are turned to gall.
And the dark-eyeG maiden
Sadly standing there,
Binding up the tresses
OF the Lady's hair.
Listens to her cruel words
With a chill despair.
Beautiful Rosalie
With her peerless brow,
With her dark eyes Lustrs.
Aud her warn. cheeks glow;
Der whose ripeuing beauty
Raven tresses dow.
But, in vain the glory
i>'0f her matchless face
Or that brighter. holier charm,

Spare me great critic il you will
If not shike More than your applause
Or the worlds either, is the thought
That | with earnest zeal have wrought,
Though with weak powers, in Freedoms cat
But for that cause, my song had been
Only the birds that builds her nest,
a little, simple, careless air
A song to tighten daily care,
Or hush the babe upon my breast.
For like the birds | learned to sing
Far from the cjty's ceaseless noise ;
Learning to love the simple grace
OF Natures sweet and kindly face
Content with humble cares and joys.
But when I heard the touching story
OF the slaves life of wrong and toll /;
NV soul was filled with burning ire
l longed with words Of living fire
This Notions awful guilt 70 show:
And so I sang Though small my skill,
NY heart at least was warm and true
Ye who have pity for tho slave

have a tale for such as you.

II.
Yon know that bold adventurous band
OF Pilgrims, that the Mayaower bore,
Across the stormy, wintry wave,
Stern, fearless men, and women brave;
Seeking the wild New England shore.
Rocky that coast and stern that sky
But theirs were spirits brave and true
With sinewy arms for honest toll
Needing no Slave to till their soil,
Strong as the mountain oak they grew.
And now from the Atlantic coast
To CALIFORNIA; golden strand.
The changing forge, the buzzing mill
Attest the energy and skill
Of the brave children of that band.
And every child that breaths shat air
However lowly his estate,
May taste of kno wledge if he will
OF the free stream may drink his fill
And grow to manhood wise and great.
But far, far different was that race
Who sought Viginia's sunny strand ;
In luxury reared. and slothful ease,
They bore with them across the seas
The pride of their ancestral land.
With love of grandeur, ease, and power,
But nobly scorning honest toll
Deeming the sturdy Yankee race
a nation beggarly, and base,
The fitting tillers of the soil.
Perchance this life Of splendid show
70 you some gay romance hath seemed;
Trust me, there is q darke side
To all this pageantry and pride,
OF which the world hath scarcely dreamed
Full fifty years have passed tonight
Since in Dun Warren's %princely Hail,
\ hundred tapers shed their light
Upon a lordly festival.
On maidens fair, and matrons proud,
And ~knightly men, the radiance shone,
A courtly throng as ever bowed
Before a royal monarch's throne.
And ever and anon the sound
of music shook the perfumed air
And the red wine went circling round
Youth, beauty, hope and joy, were there.
For from long sojurn DER the wave
Back to the Old Dominian's shore
Young, worshipped, beautiful, and brave,
Dun Warren's heir had come once more.
Where e'er he moves gny beauty showers
On him sweet smiles, and g%'ances bright /;
While like a sunbeam mid the flowers
lie glides, a form of joy and light!
But fairest, brightest who is she
Who by his side so proudly standsf
His cousin, and his bride to be
Rich in Youth, Beauty. Slaves and lands.
Proud Julia beautiful as proud,
Amid those shining stars a sun
A hundred hearts to her arc bowed
Her spirit-only bows to one!
o happy pair your pathway lies
Through sheltered valleys, gay with howe
For every gift that men most prize
Fair fortune on you kindly showers.

Sugar.

A small newspaper warfare is going on just now
between the Nsw York Tribune and the Epen-
ing Posi- in regard to the article of imported gu
gar, and the duty paid thereon. Anything Affect
ing this article, entering SO largely it does into
domestic uses, becomes matter of interest to all
our readers. During the year 1855, we imported
into the United States five hundred and forty -fve
millions of pounds of Sugar, equal in value to
twenty-five and half millions of dollars and
the import tax paid by consumers, at thirty
per cent ad palorem, amounts to well nigh
seven millions of dollars From this amount
however must be deducted small sum for exports
but it is so small as not to materially affect the
figures
Sugar is a necessary article Of human subsis'
tence, at least among civilized men-as necessary
as the bread which is denominated the "staff o.
life" 1t is alike essential to rich and poor, con-
shutting, as the chemists tell US, the chief ingre

Sugar planters in the State OF Louisiana Inc
Erening Post contends that Sugar ought to be on

the maple sugar manufacturers of the North. The
Tribune does not seem to remember, however, TINT
maple sugar is usually made simply for the domes-
tic use of those who make II, and not generally tof

to be right that an article Of daily USE and of SC
much consequence in every family as necessary
food should be thus taxed either for the benefit oil
Louisiana planters on the one hand or Northern
maple sugar makers on the other. All taxes or
essential articles of food used by the great mass
of the population are odous, and should be promp

test between the Post and the Tribune will be like
ly to bring about this desirable result.

A Red Coat in Disguise

At convvial party, at which Mr.. Webster
and several distinguished lawyers were present,
the conversation happening to turn on the legal
profession, Mr.. Webster related the following
story:
When | was young practitioner, said Mr..
Webster, there was but one man at the New
Hampshire bar, of whom was afraid, and that
was old Barnaby. There were but few men
who dared enter the lists with him. On one
occasion Barnaby was employed TO defend
suit for piece Of land, brought by little
Grabbed, cunning lawyer, named Bruce
Bruce's case was looked upon as good as lost,
when it was ascertained that Barnaby was re-
tanned against him. The suit came on for tri-
al. and Barnaby found that Bruce had worked
hard, and left no stone upturned to gain the VIC
tory. The testimony for the plaintiff was very
strong, and unless it conld be impeached, the
case of the defendant was lost.
The principal witness introduced by the
plaintiff wore red coat. In summing mp the
evidence, old Barnaby commenced furious al
tack upon this witness, pulling his testimony
all to pieces, and appealing to the jury if man
who wore red coat was under any circumstan
ces, TO be believed. Sand who is this red
coated wi,ness'" exclaimed Barnaby, "but a
descendant Of our common enemy, who hat
striven to take from us our liberty, ard woul!
not hesitate now to deprive my poor client O.
his land, by making any sort of his red-coaiet
statement"
During his speech, Bruce was walking ~
and down the bar, greatly excited, and half con
WINGED that his case was gone, knowing as h,
did the prejudice of the jury against anything
British. While, however, Barnaby was ges
ticulating and leaning forward to the jury i
his eloquent appeal, his shirt bosom slight
opened and Bruce accidentally discovered tina
Barnaby wore red under.shirt.
Bruce's countenance frightened up. Put
ting both his hands in his coat pockets, he wall;
ed the bar with great confidence, to the aston
ishment of his client and all lookers-on. Jus
as Barnaby concluded, Bruce whispered in hi
clients ear, "I've got him--your case is safe :;
and approaching the jury, he commenced hi
reply to the Strengthening argument Of his az
versary.
Bruce gave regular history of the ancestr
of his red-coa,ed witness. proving his patrotisI
and devotion to his country, and his characte
for truth and veracity. "But what, genteme
of the jury" broke forth Bruce in loud strai
of eloquence, while his eyes flashed fire, "wh;
are you to expect Of a man who stands here

The Negro Tragedy al Louisville was more
extensive than was reported by telegraph
A II The four slaves who were indicted for the
murder of the Joyce family, including the one
who turned states evidence, were hanged by
the mob, except one, who was called "Jim,"
and who had razor given him, with which
he cut his throat, and died in the Jail. George,
was hung uron tree. Both these were slaves
of Mr.. Samuels. The others were marched
to the square, and hung, one Of them, a slave
of Mr. Brown, piieously pleading his innocence
and suffering with intense agony. The mob
was largely composed of boys, some Of them
moi more than Ten years old, who cried vocifer-
ously for the hanging. The Louisville Cou-
ic, OF Saturday says that the deepest Indignation
was expressed throughout the city by all class
cs, at the miserable and criminal ineiIiciency
of the city authorities and the police, as exhib-
tied during Thursday evening and night. M
arrests had been made. The bodies were
buried on Friday in city graveyard. The
confession of the negroes fully implicated them
in the murder of Mr.. aud Mrs. Joyce, thei
daughter Mrs. Webb, and her little child, ant

Congress from the Third District, or 10 tho
Senate, in Wilson's place. With Know Moth
ings, Banks, of course, needs no endorsement.
lie is about half Democrat, and his friends
count upon aid from his old associates. Ben.
Butler, having failed in every shift, is said 10
be in the movement. With all these, and more
than all these, Banks counts upon his tnck.
And then he wants tho place. He knows that,
when lie steps from the Speakers chail to the
floor of the House, he leaves post where he
had never superior, for ono where he has
hardly an inferior; but, the step from the
Speakership 10 the gubernaiional chair, saves
him that fall. Hence, his almost insane anxi-
ETY. for the nomination.
Still, Banks is too old fox TO appear open
ly in the movement. He never goes to the
State House; he is rarely seen in the streets
Of Boston. He is farming. But the verna
