THE YOUNG WIDOW ON A SLEIGH RIDE.
1t WAS winter. clear and cold, anl the
snow was finely packed, when DR.. Meadows
was one of sleighing party, which he
describes, so far as he and the young widow
Lambkin were concerned, in the words fol-
lowing.
The lively young Widow Labmkin sat in
the same sleigh, under the same buffalo
robe with me.
'Oh OH don't! she exclaimed, MS we
came to the first bridge, at the same time
catching me by the arm, and turning her
veiletl face toward me, while her little eyes
twinkled through The moonlight.

II sssAGE OF GOV. LErcHER OF VIRGINIA

The first message of Gov. Lelcher was
read to the two houses of the Virginia Leg.
isla,ure, on Saturday last. I, is entirely
devoted to Federal politics. He makes the
following suggestions:
The only mode, therefore, Of remr,lvinc
the evil, that occurs to me- under the Cen
stitu'ion, is provided in the fifth article
thereof Summon Convention of all the
States, that full and free conference NAV
be held between the representatives Of the
people, elected for this purpose, and thus
ascertain whether the questions in coniro-
versy cannot be settled upon some basis
mutually satisfactory to both sections. If
such convention shall assemble, and after
tree and full consultation and comparison
OF opinions. they shall iiu, that the differ.
ences between the sIaveholdng and non
slaveholding States are rreconciIabe, let
them consider the question Of a peacahI..
separation and the adjust mcnt Of all ones
tions relating to the dispositions of the com
mon property between the two sections. If
they can he reconciled, let them adjust the
the terms aud give them such sanctions rs
will render them effective.
I suggest, therefore, that you adopt reso.
iutions in farar Of the call Of such Con-
vepiiop. and appeal TO the Legislatures of
ehA a.
tion proposed to be made to Congress, in
pursuance Of the provisions Of the articles
aforesaid. If the non.slaveholding States
shall fail to refuse to unite in the applica.
ton, such failure or refusal will furnish con-
elusive evidence of a determination on their
part to keep up the agitation, and to con
tinue their aggressions upon US. 1.-THE Con.
veption shall meet. and the question cannot
be satisfactorily adjusted, it will furnish ev-
dence equally conclusive Of their determine.

tasxpect in the future.

THE END OF GREAT MEN,

Happening to cast my eyes upon printed
page of miniature portraits, perceived
that the four pcrsonages who occupied the
four most conspicuous places, were AIexan.
der, Hannibal, Caesar, and Bonapar,e. |
had seen the same unnurnbcred times before
but ucvrr did the same sensation arise in
my bosom, as my mind hastily glanced over
their several histories.
Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy
heights of his ambition, and with his tenn
pies bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood Of countless nations. looked down
upon conquered world aud wcpt that there
waS not another world for him 10 CONQUER,
set city on fire. and died in scene of
,lchaurh
Hannibal, after having, to the astonisl,-
mrnt and cons,c:na,ion of Rome, passed
'.e Alps-at'cr having put to flight the
armies Of this "nis,ress OF the world and
stripped "Ihrce bushels OF golden rings
from the fiugrrs of her slaughtered knights
and made her very foundations quake fed
from his country, bcin. hated by those who
or.ce "xu,ingIy united his name TO that Of
their Cod, and raIc,l him Hanni Baal-and
died at last by poison administered by his
own hands, unamculed and unwept, in Il
foreign land.
Caesar, after having conquered cigh, Kun
drcl cities and dyed his garments in the
blood Of one million of his foes: after
having pursued 10 death the only rival he
had on earth, was mlserably as.as,natcd
by those he considered as his ne:,rps friends
and in that very place, the attainment of
which had be"a his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
popcs obrye'l, after having filed the Garth
with the terror Of his nnlnc-nf,er having
deluged Europe with tears and blood, and
clothed til" world III s;.ckr!uth- - closed his
days in lonely banishrnent. almost literally
cxilcd from the worI :; yet where he could
sometimes see his country S banner waving
over the deep, bat which would not, or
coald not bring him aid.
Thus those four men, who from the pc-
Gull HI situation Of their portraits seemed
to stand as the representatives of all whom
The world calls great those four, who each
in turn made the earth lrernble to its very
centre hy their simple tread, sevcrally died
-one by intoxication, or, as some suppose
10y poison mingle in bis wine one - suicide
one murdered by his friends-and one a
lonely exile "llow are the mighty fal-
lcn!'

A COURT DREss.-At the last Presi.

amusement was created during the evening
by the rather strange strange conduct and
uniform worn by gentleman present, who
made himself unusually Seonspicuous. 1t
was ascertained that he was a stranger
from the West, and had been persuaded
to adopt the attire be wore by some wags'
who informed him that he. must wear a
cour. dress ar ms;itary uniform on bis ap-
pc arnce at The reception Of the President.

ABOUT THE WIND.

The sweet south wind came ripping up the hill,
Touching her wild, dark hair;
The sweet south wind did touch her pouting lips;
'Tis more than l would dare
And with his rosy fingers coyly playing
With the sprays of her wild, dark hair,
Into her nut brown eyes is softly straying,
Oh! bold south wind-beware
Oh! bold south wind Into her eyes
Where her dear bright soul doth dwell,
And she laughs-it's just to tantalize -
Like a little silver bell.
Oh wind how freely you kiss her lips,
And drink of their rich red wine;
While stand thirstng for just one drop,
Which never''will be mine
All if l dare do half as much
AS the wind to this pretty face,
How she'd stamp that tiny foot Of hers,
And Danish me in disgrace!
How the roses would flush on her fair young
cheeks
How the spirit would throb in her eye,
If l played with the meshes of her darling
tresses
AS the wind in his ecstacy
But she knows very well how pretty she looks
In her fairy, frolicsome play;
Does she know all the thought that her spirit
hath wrought
In my deep.tranced heart to-day?
God bless the sweet south wind which plays
With the sprays of her wild, dark hair
In her brown ewes straying, still softly playnp !:
Only to me she says-beware ALRoY.
