EIopEaENr PROM BETHLEHEM, PAs-Quite
an excitement was occasioned about the Young
Ladies' Seminary at Bethlehem, says the Eas-

the sudden disappearance of one Of the pupils,
who took it into her head to run away and
commit matrimony, without the consent of her
teachers or friends. The heroine Of our story
is a spoiled orphan. not over fifteen years Of
age, wl3SFna undivided interest in a splendid
farm in Hanover township, and the groom re-
sides, we believe, in New Jersey. They we're
married in Allentown. She had been placed
at the school by Gen. Sinner, who, as her
guardian, treated her as a kind father
would his own child. and it is to be feared she
may live to regret the day when she refused
to listen to and be governed by his paterAal
advice.

For the "Times."
GLASGOW FAIRIES,

The stars were softly twinkling
In their golden, midnight splendor.
AS they squihted, they were watching
What the stars below were doing.
Much saw they, nothing told
To the people far below them.
Yet one told Inc of party
Seranading by the moonlight.
Ladies, were they, young and lovely
As the morning--as the sunrise.
Softly trlpp'd they-gently Whispered
OF the places they should visit.
Few they sighted many favor'd
With the sound of mellow voices,
Soft as zephyrs in the moonlight;
Clear as bugles on the water.
Told me of favor'd couple
How they started, when they heard the
Sweet Guitar vibrating near them:
How they wondered, when they heard the
Voices, as of fairies, near them,
Gently rising, softly swelling
Into music, as from Heaven!
How they lsten'd to the voices,
That did kindly bear them upward,
From the earth and all that's earthly,
To the land of little Fairies
Land of muslc-land of loving,
Where they sported, little thinking
OF the cares that life is heir 10.
Soon, alas! the fairies left them,
Then they sank downward, downward,
To the cherries, gloomy stiffness
OF the house that has no mistress.
In their lifeless dormitory
Sing they praises TO the fairies,
Who did bless them with their music.
Pray they: ''mOy the fairies sing in
Heaven, with angelic sisters
While eternity is moving
Round its ample, bcundiess circles"

adequate TO counterbalance the advantages.
which would, perhaps, prove to be almost
incaloulable. The Union is

foreign power, but by the american people

Mr.. Buchanan is generally understood to be

aspiration can be 10 render her name and his

This is a mistake. From the moment a
