AMY DECARRE.
BY TIMOTHY.

ANY DEcARRE sat in her schoolroom.
What a wee bit of thing she seemed
for the heavy responsibilities resting
upon her. She appeared too fragile,
almost, to take care of herself, let alone
the great rough, unsophisticated fell
lows she had to manage. But within
that frail form, were heart and mind
capable of accomplishing and endur-
ing much in the fighting of life's bat
ties.
As the scholars came in one by one,
they offered her respectful salutation
or cheerful word of greeting. Awk-
wardly nodded the numbering farmer
boys trustingly smiled the trudging
little ones, each receiving a kind glance
or a cheerful word in reply.
When AMY DEcARRE, at seventeen
years of ago, had assumed charge of
the school, she had found it an incon-
gruous mass of disorder, insolence
and ignorance. But every human
heart has its tender spot, and she pos
ssesed the happy faculty of finding it
out easily. The pride of the elder
boys had been touched and their sense
Of gallantry awakened, which method
proved far more effectual than the
storms and blows of bulldog school
masters The love and confidence of
the little ones had been won; and this
was much more efficient than the usu-
al "reign of terror" to which they had
been subjected. If there were a few
refractory characters, they were the
exception and not the rule, and gener-
ally conducted themselves within the
range Of decorum; since. the malig-
nant elements OF, humanity must gen
orally have the majority on their side
to operate with any degree of success.
AMY DEoARRE had always made it a
point to look on the bright side of
things, and make the best of the cir
cumstances into which she was thrown.
Left an orphan at an early age, she
had lived under the care Of maiden
aunt, and educated herself for teach
ing. This was her second terms ex-
perience, and she had become fairly
installed in her work. tr
But why is that absent look on her
face to-day? Why is she so listless in
regard to the ainis.irs of the school
room? Why do the scholars look
curiously up, now and then2 Why
does that geography class make so
many mistakes unnoticed? All! AMY,
with all your true worth, with all your
nobloness, with all that energy of
character that has carried you SO far
through life, you are yet human, and
subject to human weaknesses.
The :, Commissioners visited the
school yesterday There were Squire
Brown, Squire. Courtney, and the
young lawyer, Mr., Gilbert Heartley.
Is the form Of tho latter before your
I eyesY Is his manly face in your
thoughts? Does his parting smile
haunt you? We fear so. sa
Gilbert Heartley was one Of the
School Commissioners 1t was not
through him that Amy had obtained
1her situation, although when she ar
rived in the town no had been await
ing her arrival in the stage coach al
the village inn. PEI .,., 49,, 49,, -

Santa Anna, at present residing at
the Island of st. Thomas, has, issued
a pronunciamento,, in which he de-
nounces the attempted empire in Mex
leo, and calls for rally in favor of
democracy, and urges the Mexicans to
fight against the invaders. He ex-
plains that his declaration in favor Of
French intervention was forced upon
him, by requiring him TO sign such a
paper before he would be permitted to

Drawing all his sheaves of sunlight fr

When the blossoms and the leaves,
Losing all their golden glow,
In the slowly gathering twilight n'

All the ground was starred with Msy-bloom
Everywhere they met my eye;
But ! went to gather heart's-easc,
So passed all others by.
Oh, my soul was ne'er so joyous,

Near the wood side pucking flowers!

A Miscegenation DueI.

A most disgraeeful affair happened here
some tine sg :, which, in all its details, has
Just come 10 my knowledge. A most res
pectable colored man 10 freeman, not freed
man j cha lenged a naval officer (white) TO
mortal combat, which kind invitation to
pistols q0ithout coffee was respectfully de-
clined by the latter.
Here are the facts Of the case;
A federal naval officer became acquainted
with Nat F., well known for many years
back a. a IN ST respectful co ored msn, and
the best resiauranteur in this city; IN fact
Nat has when parties and balls were 10 be
gotten up in fine style) always been as il
were the Delmonico or Msillaid Of Charles
ton: ana perhaps no man, white or colo ed 4,
can getup such things in better style than
Nat r, at least in this city. Mr.. Officer
gets acquainted with Nat, and assures him
al he has DO foolish prejudices about the
super ority Of one race over another; that he
regards Nat ss a true type Of a Carolina ge1-
tieman: that be is desperately IN love ri h
Mats beautiful daughter, VIII m he wishes
q marry, preparatory to taking her 10 his
northern home, whsre she can move rs an
acknowledged equal 10 a more eongenial
sphere Of twhite) society. Nat Is duped and
consents, so does Mats daughter; they be-
come engaged, elope, emitting the marriag 3
ceremony, return after a white, still aR1aar-
Rcd. Nat accosts Mr.. Officer in the streets,
abuses him for his raseality, ard as uring
him that a true type OF q arolina gentle
man hes but one mode Of redress VIII n hi
honor is assailed. lie (Nat) expects Mr..
Officer 70 meet him IS an equal and give
him satisfaction at the pistols mouth. in
