a Romantic Damsel.
From the Mt. Sterling un) Record.

Ifr"m the Mt. Sterling ulll Record.
Quite an eventful tramp" was ex.
pericnced by a Young and highly re-
spectcd lady. residing in the eastern
part OF this county. who, we learn.
has devoted the greater part of her
spare time, for several wears past. in
perusing the fashionable light litcra-
ture of the times The circumstances.
as related to us. are as follows: The
young lady, whose name We shall with
hold, procured about 5000 from her
step-!ather, Tor the purpose. as SHE
ayerred of paving her expenses while
visiting her friends near this place.
Upon arriving here she took the train
ON the T. w and w. railway. and
"struck out, after which nothing was
heard concerning her whereabouts un-
til telegram was received bv her pa
rents from the New FORK city police
headquarters, stating that she was un-
der arrest IN that city, and inqujring
what should be done with her. I'M
aeinc their surprise on receiving such
a dispatch, while basking in the belief
that she was but eight miles from home
enjoying herself among friends The
parents directed the New York city
officials to return the prodigal. which
was Immediately done and she arriv-
cd at home wiser if not a better airl.
a short time after After leaving home
she donucd mail attire She stopped
at a hotel IN New York city and there
formed the acquaintance Of number
OF gay aud festive Young gents. Had
1t not been for the foolish attempt to
smoke a i@ar-wlich made her sick
in order to throw off suspicion In re-
gard to her sex, She would not have
been detected 50 soon. She does not
state her intentions, or the object Of
disgusting herself by wearing the ap-
parel Of the opposite sex, though it j.
supposed she intended visiting France.
as she had frequently proclaimed a de.
sire 10 do 50, and as she has wealthy
relatives residing there. She Is young
being but II years old-bcautilul,
intelligent and eiIcmiuate; aud ii Is
certainly mystery that she could
successfully conceal her sex at all.

SIR:-Some one has sent me a conv
of your paper, in which YOU devote
nearly a whole column to my late
speech in Lexington, kentucky.
\ on think me incendiarv, wicked,
bad. and a party man on the Fourth
Of July What right have YOU; a
vile wretch, living ty the grace of
God and the mercy Of too humane
government, to take a loval man to
task for what he NAV see fit to say ?
Have you so soon forgotten your
crimes, or are you insane enough to
believe that they are forgotten among
men, and that treason, after all, Is
not to be punished? !? For the sake OF
your soul, | beg you not 10 forget the
past, nor be unmindful Of the future.
for the day is coming when you and
Forrest will both be called to a Just
account Tor your misdceds. Pirates
and butchers of innocent men cannot
long live IN America unhung. BE con
stantly y prepared, for YOU know not
the day nor the hour wherein the
righteous Judge viii come to do JUS

your trouble IS great, and tribulation
Is upon you, send for me. and | will

reccollect your awful guilt, and that
by the laws of nations YOU are an
outlaw, we'll may your coward con
science fear such an event. You say
such men as | instigate the negroes
to do lawless acts. You, pirate
and traitor, are pretty fellow to
talk about instigators of Iawless acts.
The devil rebuking sin would be a
mild comparison. | have always ad-
vised the negroes to be law-abiding,
quiet, sober, Industrious and peaceful
and shall continue to do 50. They
need not take the law in their own
hands, and if they should, | shall as
much condemn them as | do YOU,
We, who are their friends. by the
help Of God and a radical Congress,
will, in good time, in a legal way,

public, aud IN the meantime the ne
