STORY OF HENRY CLAY.-One
day, during Pr, sident M0uroe's
administration, Mr.. Clay was in
vited, with other friends of tho
Presidents, to dine at the White
House. A few days before some
friends of Mr.. Clay's. living in Iu
diana, had sent him a bottle of
wine which had been made iu
that State. Mr.. Clay thought
that he would take the bottle Of
wine up the White House and
have it opened at the table, aud
show the guests how fast they
were progressing in the West.
When the party was seated at the
table Mr.. Clay told u servant to
open the bottle and serve some of
the wine to the guests. They all
tasted of it and pronounced it
very good, until it came to Mr..
Monroe. "Well,' Mr.. President,
what do you think Of it :" said
Mr.. Clay, "Well," answered Mr..
Monroe, tit is very good, but it
tastes to me exactly like old Ken
lucky whisky" On investigation
Mr.. Clay found that his son Toe,
had, some days befol e, eaop',rf
the bottle of wine for his OWE be..-
fit and then filed it up with h.
lucky whisky.

Where the little daisies grow,
Where the winds a.maying GO;
Where the footpath rustics plod,
Where the breeze-bowed pOplars nod
Where the old woods worship God,
Where his pencil paints the sod;
Where the welded throstle sings,
Where the young bird tries his wings
Where the wailing pl0ver swings;
Near the rnnlet's rushing springs
Where, at times, the tempest's roar,
Shaking distant sea and shore,
Still will rave old Barnesdale DER,

Tired and thankful, let me rest,
Like q child that sleepeth best
On its mothers gentle breast.

A Dusky Deeampment.

A surge of popular excitement follow
ed the announcement few days ago
of an elOpement in this city, the
highly sensational character of which
was UNNECESSARILY enhanced by the
prominent social position of the amor
Gus fugitives. The name of the high
contracting female party is Mrs. Mary
Miller, colored lady, whose devotion
to the connubial relation has survived
the wreck of two husbands, and whose
naturally sentimental tendencies have
found a fruitful source of nOurishment
in poetic atmospere of steam and soap,
suds, among which the major
portion of her dreamy existence
has been spent, and through the fan
ciful medium of which the hues of life
have fallen rich and rOseate upon her sus-
scptible soul. Mr.. Williams, the hero
of the romance, who is likewise of the
dusky persuasion, saw and loved Mary
in an eventful moment, and the passion
was requited with all the vehemence of
her strong southern nature. The pro-
verbal obstacles which always interpOse
their hateful opposition to the course of
true love, assumed in this case the form
of several adult children, pledges of
Mary's affection to former companion,
and by virtue of whose cruel antagonism
Williams was debarred the privilege of
paying his court to the widow under
the rooftree of her own box house, and
which finally drove the infatuated pair
to the extreme length of clandestine APP
pointments. the strength of Mary's de
votion being amply attcsted by her agil-
iiy in making the passage of her cham
Der window in pursuance of her hearts
dearest joy.
so, last night, when all the town was
still, and silence brooded like gentle
spirit DER the still and pulseless world,
Mary and her gallant lover nOislessly
skipped away, and turned their expect
ant faces in the direction of a locality
where the fullness of love is not restrain
