Good order everywhere prevailed up to

In another part of the city, a young man nam
ed Chas Vertter was wounded in the hand by
a stray ball. Several additional disturbances

Capture of a Rich SLAYER.

The following, perhaps, may account for
the recent eagerness of the British cruisers
to make captures of the slavers
A letter from an officer on board the gun
boat Jasper, Lieutenant and Commander Fl.
Pym, says: We have captured and brought
in, may safely say, the largest and richest
prize ever captured IN the slave trade. She
is full rigged and fast sailing ship of $50
tons burden, with full slave equipment, and
provisions for sustenancc. She also had on
board specie in gold to the amount OF $3.50
ounces Spanish and Mexican, er about f8,-
500 sterling. Her name and nation unknown.
We capturcd her on the north side of Mata-
mas on the 22d of March, between 9 and
10 A. NJ, she having sailed from Havana on
the previous right to purchase and bring over
slaves for the Island Of Cuba. We had
rather an exciting chase for about four and a
half hours. At A. NJ, the Styx (6, pad
dIe Commander Vessey, hove in sight and
joined in the chase, but astern of US till the
prize was taken. She, however, stood on
until we were within q mile Of her, when she
lowered her royals, but did not heave to un-
til two more shots were thrown. We board
ed and examined her. She had no papers,
Slave coppers were lying on the main deck,
and their furnaces in case in the square of
the main hatchway, marked " "Marseils," to
which place they pretended to be going. We
also found slave tins and spare plank for slave
deck, fitted, and numbered, but not in its
place, $50 "leagers," and 300 tons of water
in them, an immense quantity of rice, farina,
coffee, dried salt fish, eighteen puncheons of
rum. and other necessaries. The Styx shares,
but the Jasper will share in the proceeds
of prize taken the previous day by the
Styx.-English Paper.

Quite Flare up I'm " High Life''---The
Cause Thereof,

A young lady now on visit to St. Louis,
lin company with her motherD stopping at
the house Of one of our prominent citizens,
received an invitation to attend party late
ly at the mansion of one of the elite OF our
city. The story runs that she is engaged to
young gentleman we'll known hereabouts,
but received information from him that he
could not attend, owing to general indispos-
tion. Whereupon the young lady accepted
the company of gentleman, also we'll known
and millionaire, but instead of going to the
party, proceeded to one of our prominent ho-
tells, where the aristocratic couple engaged
private rooms and until in the neighborhood
of daylight, were secluded from the vulgar
eye.
1t appears that the young gentleman to
whom the lady was engaged, recovered sutfi-
GENTLY to visit at the party, and seized by
that Unsuitable desire so common with lovers
to be in the immediate vicinity of the below
ed one, determined to attend the party. The
night was by no means pleasant, the par
ty was afar off, but 60 he must, and so he did.
Upon his arrival, he was astonished and
annoyed not to find his affianced present
For her he bad annihiliated space and braved
the elements. In quitting the sick room he
had jeoparized his life, and all for nothing.

of her own generous heart, true to the promp-
tings of her own generous heart, had declin-
ed the engage in the gay and festive scene,
while her intended lay stretched upon the
bed of sickness and of pain.
But murder will out On the morrow the
intended bridegroom was informed, by a per-
fectly responsible party, of the whereabouts
Of the young lady, and in frame of mind
not quite as calm as a summers day, he pro-
ceeded at once to the residence of the afore-
said citizen, where the young lady was stay
ing.
allow did you enjoy the party?" quoth he;
enjoyed II learn you had a very joyful time"
"Oh, quite So" was the response 81 nev-
er enjoy myself so much in my life. We had
a noble time, and every body was sorry when
it broke up"
Ah so I am told. AS for myself I
was there, and much chagrined at not seeing
you. was told you had not been there du-
ring the evening, and had partially made up
my mind to visit - Hotel, but fearing
might possibly interfere with your pri
vate arrangements, concluded to await my
time"
The young lady did not hear the compile
tion of the sentence. She had tainted, and
the young man thought proper to arouse the
family. Before any explanations could be
given, he found himself rather rudely intro
duccd to the sidewalk. The sequel is yet TO
be learned.-S. Louis Dem.

A SMILE.
BY L0NGFELL0W.

Slowly, slowly up the wall
Steals the sunshine, steals the shade;
Evening damps begin to fall,
Evening shadows are displayed.
Round me, o'er me, everywhere,
All the sky is grand with clouds,
And athwart the evening air
Wheel the swallows home in crowds.
Shafts of sunshine from the West
Paints the dusky windows red;
Darker shadows deeper rest
Underneath and overhead.
Darker and more wan
In my breast the shadows fall:
Upward steals the life of man,
As the sunshine from the wall.
Prom the wall into the sky,
From the roof along the spire;
All the souls of saints that die
Are but sunbeams lifted higher.

CONSIDERABLE indignation is felt in some

in Kings Chapel Church, Boston. 1t is con-
tended that a Christian Church should be
open to all,and that if privacy is sought, we'd
dings can be celebrated in private house.

to side aisle,and invited persons to the GEN.

Darling, I've gazed on thee,
And thou art now vision of the past,
A spirit-star, whose holy light is cast
On memory's voiceless sea,
That start fingers there,
As beautiful as 'twere a dewy flower,
Soft-wafted down from Eden's glorious bower,
And floating in mid-air.
It is-that blessed one
The day-star of my destiny-the first
e'er could worship, as the Persian erst
Worshipped his own loved Sun.
On all my years may lie
The shadow of the tempest, their dark flow
Be wild and drear but that dear star viii glow
Still beautiful on high.
