INsURREcTIoNARY DESIGNS IN VIR-
GINIA.-In Princess Anne and Norfolk
counties, Va, for several days past. the
most painful apprehensious of serVile re-
volt have been felt. The rumors relative
to it have been confirmed, and from the
Norfolk argus of Saturday we extract the
following statements
Several negros have been arrested in
Princess Anne, and their confessions
(though in some cases extorted) have de.
veloped the same story, and led to further
arrests. The confessions show that rising
was contemplated at Hickory Ground, in
Norfolk county, tomorrow night, and that
the matter was instigated by free persons
some Of them free negros Two arrests
have been made in Norfolk city, and the
trail is fully struck. The citizens of the
two counties have resorted to vigilaut meas.
ures to suppress this vile conspiracy and to
detect all offenders of all colors. Active
patrols have been organized-and gone to
work. - u.---.. e:
On Thursday night white man named
Flynn was shot dead by patrol party in
Norfolk county, on the line of the Canal,
about seventeen miles from Portsmouth,
There were several men engaged in ditch
ing; and they were camping out in that
nelgnborhood. The place was suspected,
and their tent visited by the patrol fora
search. When the patrol approached the
tent, and hailed; the man Flynn came out
and aimed his gun at Mr. Warner, oneaof
the party; but before he could fire, was
shot dead by another of the party. At the
same moment negro darted from the tent
and escaped into the woods. Is
A free negro named Dick Smith has
been shot, also; he, however, is not dead.
We understand that be was shot while
running from some gentlemen who were
eudeavoriug to arrest him for some incen-
day expression that he had used. p
Ten negros are said to be in custody In
Princess Anne, and Two IN Norfolk oily
The facts of the case will come out fully
on their examination. All the negros from
one farm have been placed in Jail, and the
entire negro force from two others have alb
seconded, under the influence, it is said, Of
guilty consciences
The Day Book adds: -
A lady from Princess Anne,s who was on
visit to her father in this city, was about
to start home this morning, when the ne
gro woman who holds the position of cook,
waited on her, and with tears in her eyes,
begged her not to go until Monday, thus
leaving the inference that something dread,
full was to happen. She stoutly denied
knowing anything, however.

WHY THE SHOE PINcHEs.-Dr. Meyer,
professor ofanatomy in the University Of
Zuric, has lately given his attention to a
practical subject-why shoes pinch-a sub
ject on which the disciples of St. Crispeu
have from time immemmorial claimed
the exclusive right to judge, even extend
ing their claim to the primary question
whether in fact our shoes do pinch at all.
Professor Meyer has taken the matter up as
an anatomist. He states that the funda.
mental is idea that fashion ought to take the
cut of the shoe from the form of the foot,
and not cramp the form Of the foot to suit
the cut of the shoe. The first thing, he
says, is to consider the great toe, which
does most of our walking for US. A line
from the point of this toe to the middle of
its root would, he says, if continued, pass
to the middle of the heel but, as boots and
shoes are made, the tendency is to twist the
toe out of this line. Therefore, he claims
that the shoe should be made to suitthe ma,
tural position of the great toe as we'll as the
little toe, (Which has hitherto had dispro,
portionate share ofthe attention ofmankind;)
boots. he says, if made on principle, ought to
be so shaped that when pair are side by
side with the heels in contact, the inner lines
Of the front part of the soles should also be
in contact along the whole edge to the end
of the great toes, so that if the toes are to
be pointed this must be done by taking
away from the outside alone. He admits
that boots made in this way would
give US all the appearance Of turning in
our toes, but concludes that as this is the
natural shape of the boot it must be as ele-
giant in reality as any other shape, besides
being more comfortable. We have no
doubt that by persevering efforts he may
introduce boots made on this scientific mod
ell, if he can make them fashionable; but
until then it must be remembered that
pride knows no pain

AN IRIsHMAN's AcoUAINTANcE.-A
Western physician was riding in an omni-
bus, when an Irishmau stepped in, and re-
coguizing the doctor, said:
sOch, an sure, an it's Doctor j, I
persave.'
That's my name, sir, but haven't the
pleasure of knowing you,' responded the
polite doctor. -....
Indade! but I'm. the felly what made
yer last boots, and which your honor forgot
to get resate for payment ovp
The ladies Uttered, the doctors memory
was refreshed, and Paddy got his money
and gave the 'resate' when the doctor got
to his destination.

lin moment her face frightened up.

that word it shows roe that these is one
way of proving my love to you, and of es-
Gaping his touch, which would be pollu-

will not be needed, said the young man.
oh ! Amy why not fly with me at once,
and thus end our doubts and fears? Once
in Italy or Greece, we may laugh at pur'

attempt to make her change her mind, bu
it was in vain. What he meditated was

Il know nothing more than what | have
told you, Edgar said Amy. 'Are you
acquainted with the Grand Duke Paul?'
Il am not I saw him yesterday for the
first time. Don't think of appealing to him,
Amy, for am sure he would not believe
you. His face wore one of those expressions
which tell US as plainly as words can speak,
that he is proud, impetuous and cruel
man. I saw him, as he entered his carriage,
strike one of his servants with a whip,
merely because the seat happened to be q
little dusty and though am sure the blow
cut to the bone, yet the poor fellow never
cried out in the least. He can smile too

Henri, handed him portfolio, he smiled
sweetly upon him, and bade him take gooc

'Tis o'er-but oh, how torn my heart!
My sad adieu is spoken:
Let thoughts of other days depart,
Since this last link is broken.
Short was my dream but oh, how sweet !
Too sweet to be enduring.
Twas all pleasing, hollow cheat
All false-yet too alluring.
Oh. what is Love A pretty Rose
In youths bright pathway blooming
But worn-its hidden thorns are Woes,
Life's brightest hopes entombing.
In chlldhood's walks we pass it by,
Its richest sweets unheeding:
'Tis Manhood's fate to watch it die,
And leave the bosom bleeding.
To live unloved! Yes, sweeter lot,
To never know Loves gladness,
Than be beloved, and then forgot
By her we have loved in madness.
IT'S o'er-but, OH I'll never show
The reason why she lost me:
She vii! never know the bitter woe
The pangs that Love has cost me.

THE EXECUTION.
"I am one

II am one
Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world
Have so incensed, that am reckless what
DO, to spite the world"
Borne blindfolded from the rooms, bound
and gagged, the mountebank was unable
to speak, and much less to see where his
captors were taking him to. Silently they
descended the stairs and left the house
and after waiting few minutes in the
court yard, a carriage appeared, which they
entered and drove off, In an hour it stop
ped; they alighted. Saint Pierres eyes
we're unbound; and on looking round he
found himself in front of a large and gloomy
looking building, which he recognized as
the imperial prison. The gag was removed,
but without giving him chance to utter a
single word, they bore him through the
gate, which closed behind him with loud
clang; and lead by several men bearing
torches, (for it was now dark, } they ascend
ed flight of stone steps in small room,
each side of which was piled up with huge
volumes reaching nearly to the ceiling, and
all of them lettered and numbered. After
waiting a short time, stout elderly man
entered, who, from the respect shown him
by several of the subordinates of the prison,
appeared to be the governor. He was quick.
ly followed by young man, his clerk who,
taking down one of the volumes, drew pen
from behind his ear; and motioning to the
mountebapk to approach nearer, requested
to know his name.
Il am the Count de Mouer,' said Saint
Pierre, supposed to have
Your name?' interrupted the clerk.
Il have already given it, replied the
mountebank haughtily.
Il hope we shall not have to ask it thirc

calling off each letter as he wrote it.

You do not look it, said the governor
with surprise. He was as short with hi
words as his clerk.
Nevertheless, that is my age,' said Sain

THE SUMMER IS OVER.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

BY FINLEY JOHNSON.
The summer is over,
Its flowers are dead;
Its joys so delicious
Before us have fed !;
The leaves that once shaded
Our pathway, are Ger
Aud the sweet roses faded,
Will blossom no more.
But the scenes so enchanting,
Still dwell in the heart;
Like the scent Of sweet flowers,
They do not depart;
And the birds are still singing
Upon the bare bough;
A glad message bringing
OF joy, even now.
Though the sun with less fervor
Shines through the short day;
And the leaves and the flowers
Have faded away;
Though the warm gentle zephyrs
No longer blow soft;
And the bright stars of heaven
Look cold from aloft:
Still, still in our bosoms
Shall joy find home;
And our hearts shall look forward
To pleasures to come;
And we shall still cherish
Glad hopes of the Spring,
When the flowers shall flourish,
The birds shall all sing.
