His companions were borror-stricen at

had no power to punish him. The tribe
to which the squaw belonged was not faf
distant when the deed was perpetsated.
They discovered her lifeless body, and

They pursued the party Of Illinois Pixies

committed the murder.
The company Of Eve or six Peakers
found themselves surrounded By nearly
two hundred enraged Indians, who threat

BY HARRIET A. DAVIDSON.

In the little town of Chirii, on the cas-
tern coast Of Italy, dweli Carlos Bandet-
lini and his wife and daughter Bialca.-
Blanca was handsome, high spirited girl,
the favurite of all the village. Especial
" was she beloved by Antonio Bfin Isl
aud Stephano Foscari, the two hanflsel
est youths in all the town. AT the iinie
my story opens, Blanca bad declares her
preference for Antonio, and they We're
publicly betrothed. Stephano was of u
fierce. Jealous disposition. and threaten
ing vengeance, he suddenly left the vii
lage. All 'endeavers to discover his
whereabouts proved of no avail but that
he had not gone far was evident from his
occasional appearing at his home, where
his mother dwelt alone, with many CON-
forts for her, for with all his faults, he had
been dutiful son. Blanca troubled her.
self very little about his place of retire.
ment, and did not allow his threats to
alarm her.
One day, sometime after the disappear
ance Of Stephano, as Blanca was walking
in the garden, she was startled by rust
ling among the vines, and upon turning
to the spot she saw Stephano standing
before her. She saluted him very coldly
and haughtily, and turned to enter the
cottage, when Stephano sprang before
her and prevented her from moving.

OKOLONA, MISS, SEPTEMBER s, 1859
GET MARRIED.

1t is not necessary for US to profess Ia
be enthusiastic admirers Of women. Ey.
cry sensible biped is so. Time or cline
has little to do with the natural homage
which men render to the virtues and
charms Of the gentler sex. Of one thing,
however. this American people of ours
can honestly and justly boast. We have
put woman in higher and holier places
than any people accorded her. Whatev-
or of formal politeness or pretentious gal.
lantry may be wanting in our treatment Of
her, nothing that is true and substantial
is omitted. We yield her, not the snowy
difference Of the lip or knee, but the deep
and solemn homge of the heart. Espec-
tally the wife and mother stands in the
richest place and is guarded with a
sOlicitude the tenderness of which has
no bounds. This is the universal rule Of
American life. Casual and unfrequent
exceptions, like dull and leaden back
ground, cause the golden characters in
which it is written to glitter everywhere
upon the story with an added lustre.--
Hence it is that American men and wo-
men look to marriage as the prime reward
of life-no matter whether Of poverty
or wealth. They look around upon what
ever circle they may move in; and argu-
ing from what they see, feel that there
will be honor with them in that state, and
daily addition of respect and eonse-
quence in the community.
Modern researches, and investigation
by scientific men, throw bright and
happy light upon marriage, and by their
statistics drawn from other countries pay
an unintentiCnal but brilliant compliment
to the United States. 1t is directly
shown that our superiority Of physical
condition, moral power, increase Of fpopu-
latiQn, national resources, industrial en-
ergy, and general health and longevity,
are referable to the high honor in which
marriage is held, the general tendency to
contract il, and the sanctity with which it
is invested in the4U Limited States.
DR.. Farr, Of rhe Register drnerafa
Office, London, says in bis paper on the
subject of marriage in France, that the
married live longer than the single OF
widowed. He considers it, from all the
statistics, the healthiest state. He also
truly and justly considers it the only SAFE
guard from moral Irregularities, and in
nine cases out of ten. sure to protect from
those shoals, qnicksand and deceitful
rocks of vice which lie, like Scylla and
Chary bdis, on either side Of the lonely
voyage on the ocean of existence.
The fact, therefore, being established
that men acquire increased honor by mar
riage; that they become more useful to
their country; that they are by the aci
insured from vice; that they increase
their chances for worldly success, and in
sure, almost to a certainty, a greater
number of years and fuller health to en-
joy heightened life--we say get mar.
ried. Take the first true hearted woman
who will take you, 0 young man, and lei
the nearest parson perform his priestly
Office on you.

THE STEAMBOATs
BYvLIvER WENDELL HOLMES.
See how yon flaming herald treads
The high and rolling waves,
As crashing DER their crested heads,
She bows her surly slaves.
With foam before, and fire behind,
She rends the cinging sea
That flies before the roaring wind,
Beneath her kissing lee.
The morning spray, like the sea-born flowers,
With heapd and glistening bells,
Falls round her fast, in ringing showers,
With every wave that swells;
And flaming DER the midnight deep,
In lurd fringes thrown,
The living gems Of ocean sweep,
Along her flashing zone.
With clashing whcel, and lifting keel,
And smoking torch on high,
When winds are loud, and billows reel,
She thunders foaming by;
When seas are silent and serene,
With even beam she glides,
The sunshine glittering through the green
That skirts her cleaning sides.
Now, ike wild nythpn, Ihf dpdIt,
She wells her shaduwy form,
The beating of her restless heart
Still sounding through the storm:
Now answers, like a cOurtly dame,
The red iening surges DER,
With flying scarf of spangled fame,
The Pharos Of the shore.
Hark Hark hear yon whistling shroud;
| see yon quvering mast;
The black throat Of the haunted cloud
Is painting forth the blast
An hour, and whirl'd like winnowing chaff,
The giant surge shall lIig
His tresses DER yOn.pennant staff,
White as the sea-bird's wing
Tonight yon pilot shall not sleep,
Who trims his narrow sail;
Tonight yon frgate scarce shall keep
Her brUad breast to the gale:
And many foresail scoopd and strained,
Shall break from yard and stay,
Before the smoky wreath has stained,
The rising mist of day.
But rest ye wanderers of the deep;
Nor wind nor wave shall tire
Those fleshless arms, whose pulses leap
With floods of living fire.
Sleep on, and when the morning light
Streams DER the silent bay,
Oh think of those for whom the night
Shall never wake in day.
