Married i'm Jail.

In our report of the capture of
Levi POteete some time since it will
be remembered that a young lady
figured in the arrest. This young
lady. who is said to be amiable and
quite handsome, married POteete in
Jail in this city Thursday evening
at 3 o'clock. The ceremony was
performed by John Irwin, Esq, in
the presence of about 20 witnesses.
The young lady's name is Miss
Francis p. Goodwin. She rode Is
miles to become united in wedlOck
with Poteete, and Immediately after
the "knOt" had been tied returned
home. we learn that the two were
engaged at the time of the arrest of
Poteete, and that they have been
corresponding since his incarcera-
ton. The ceremony took place in
the large room on the north side of
the Jail, containing the monster iron
cells. This is truly a case of solid

LOvE.s LESSONS.


A little babe lies sleeping
Upon its mothers breast,
While she, with brow unshadowed1
Watcheth Its tranquil rest;
Gently its blue eye opens,
And thefond look dwelling therei
Tells that its heart is learning
What Loves first lessons are.
Months pass-that child is playing
Amid the household band,
Brothers and sisters sporting
Together hand in hand
Affections chain is frightening,
Its golden links increase,
Aud the little heart expandeth
In innocence and peace,
Years fly. A fair girl listens
With a warm blush on her cneek
To one who now, right earnestly
of his deep love doth speak;
His low and tender accents
Each spirit chord can thrill,
And she is strangely happy
Tho tears her bright eyes fill-
And the maiden little dreameth
That any other love,
One half as pure, and fervent,
And strong as that can prove;
For they say the hearts first visions
Ever the brightest seem
That there is naught in after life
Like Loves young, blissful DREAM
Again the picture changes
Girlhood has passed away,
And a wife now humbly kneeleth
For her husbands veal to pray
And the sacred tie that binds her
To the partner Of her life,
With deep, holier joy, than all
Youths mild romance, Is rife.
Another change-a mother
Ger the cradle bendeth low
And gazeth long and steadfastly
Upon her firstborn' s brow,
FOndly her heart is clinging
Unto that fragile flower,
And love her soul Is filling
Unfelt until that hour.
Thus, year by year, new fountains
OF love are springing up,
Each fiinging added sweetness
Into life's sparkling cup;
And thus the heart eXpandeth
As Time fiies swiftly DER,
And IL never loves so fOndly
That il can love no more!
