The story of the courtship of Miles Standish, was not for the first time versified by Longfellow. The following ballad wa9 published in a newspaper called The New Rover, in 1852.- Boston Journal. Courtship of Capt. MILES STANDISH. BT MOSES BCLU.VG, 1792. Miles Staniish in the Mayfle-wer came Across the storm wave, And in that little band was none More generous and brave. 'Midst cold December's sleet and snow On Plymouth rock they land; . Weak wore their hands, but strong their hearts That piou3 pilgrim band. r Oh, sad it was in their poor huts, . To hear the storm wind blow; And terrible at midnight horr When yell'd the savage foe. And when tlie savage, grim and dire, ' His bloody wjrk began, For a champion bold, I have been told, Miles Standish was the man. ' f ' ' But oh, his heart was made to bow With grief and pain full low, For sicknes? on the pilgrim band Now dealt; a dreadful blow. In arms of death so fast they fell, They scarce were buried, And his dear wife, whose name was Rose, Was laid among the dead. His sorrow was not loud but deep For her he did bemoan; And such keen anguish wrung his heart, He could not live alone. Then to John Alden he did ?pcak; For John Aldcir-was his friend; And said, "friend John, unto my wish ' I pray thee now attend. My heart is sad, 'tis very sad, My poor wife Rose has gone; And in this wild and savage land I cannot live alone. To Mr. William Mullens, then, I wish you would repair, Ami see if he will give me leave To wed his daughter fair." Priscilla was this daughter's name, Comely and fair was she, And kind of heart she was withal, As any maid could be. John Aldcn to oblige his friend, . Straight ay to Mullen's went, And toldh s errand like a man, And ask ?d for his consent. Now Mr. Mullens was a sire Quite rational and kind, . And stich conent would never give Again.-t his daughter's mind. He told John Alden if his child Should be inclined that way, And Captain Standish washer choice, . He had no more to sayHe then called in Iiis daughter dear, And straightway did retire, Tint she might with more frecdon- rpcak In the absence of her sire. John Alden had a bright blue eye, And was a handsome man, And when he Fpoke, a pleasant look O'er all his features ran. He ro3e, and in a courteous way His errand did declare, And aid, 'fair maid, what word shall I To Captain Standish bear? Warm blushes glowed upon the checks Of that fair maiden then; At first che turned away her eyes, Then looked at John again. And then, with downcast, modest mien, ' She said with trembling tone, "Now prithee, John, why dost thou not ' Speak for thyself alone?" Deep red then grew John Alden's face, He bade the maid good bye; But well she read before he went, The language of his eye. No m iticr what the language said, , Which in that eye was rife In one short month, Priscilla was John Alden's loving wifeFa Ii ic Clil'toii's Elopement. Fannie,' sail Judge Clifton to I113 daughter, one fine morning, laying tlown his paper, over the top of which ho had been intently regarding her, 'come hither, mj child.'. ; . , ; ' , Fan n la very dutifully did as. sha was bid. And as she stood by his sido, the Judge took both of her small hands in his, and smoothing caressingly with the other her short, shining hair, looked tenderly into her face. You are a woman now Faniiie,' said he. 'Eighteen last Chrisirnas, papa," returned Fannia, demurely, trving to assume, the dignity and gravity which belong to that mature ago t hough, to tell the truth, they looked strangely out of keeping with her slight form and girlish face. In spite of all her .efforts, her rosy mouth would dimple with smiles, and her. eyes wear the arch, saucy expression that was natural to them. ' ' ' . ' 'Can it bo possible?' exclaimed the old gentleman heaving a deep sigh. IIow time docs fly, to be sure ! You are a year older than your mother was when I married her.' -Well, well,' he resumed, after a pause, taking off his spectacles, and, after wiping them, carefally re adjusting Ihera on his nose, 'I suppose I must . come to it some time, and it may a9 well come first as last. All fathers have to lose' their daughters, and I suppose I may as well make up my mind to lose you.' . ' . i ; Y ,'' ' . -.Lose me, papa I exclaimed Fannie, opening her eyes in astonishment. Why what do you mean? I hope I am ' not going to die yet awhile.' V ; , , 'You know well enough . what I mean, you pde. 1 1 moan tha like all the rest of the silly young girls,- who never know when they are well off, you will be. getting married.' ;' V v ' . ' . For; shame, papa 1 ' said Fannie, blushing and laughing,. .'I . shall.: do noVsuch a thing!' - v :'- ' : ' ;:-! 'r '""' pf course not,' said the Judge,' , drily. 'Never had such an idea during the whole coür&a . of your life, I dare say. Cohldn't be persuaded to do anything to highly improper!'

'But what put that idea into your head this morning?' persisted . Fannie, whose curiosity was aroused. i. ! r . 'The visit ot a certain young gentleman, who has requested permission' to pay his addresses to you That homely and disagreeable Major Sinclair, I suppose,' said Fannie, scornfully. . , ' 'No, my dear, it was not. It was that handsome and very agreeable, Charley Ray. What do you think of that?' To her father's surprise, Fannie's countenan;e fell; her rosebud lips showed a very perceptible pout, and a frown actually gathered on her smooth open brow. Think!' she repeated, with a disdainful toss of tho head. 'I think he came on a fool's errand; that is what I think.' Hoity, toityl' exclaimed the old gentleman, with a puzzled air. 'What change has come over you now? It seems that you have changed your opinion very suddenly.' As Mr. Ray never look the trouble to ask my opinion, it can matter very little to him if I have,' retorted Fannie, indignant'Oh, oh! there is where the shoe pinches,, is it?', said Judge Clifton, laughing. Well, never mind, my dear, he is coming here to talk with you about it some time to-day. 1 have given him my full permission. Without which he would have staid away, I suppose,' said Fannie in an undertone. What is it. my dear? inquired tho old Judge, who was a little deaf. 'I said that it would not be convenient for me to see Mr. Ray,' said Fannie - m a louder voice. 'He may come if he choose, but I cannot be at home.' 'Fannie,' said Judi;e Clifton, sternly, 'what is the meaning of this folly? Of course you will receive him. Mr. Ray is a worthy and honorable man, and I insist that ho shall bo treated civilly.' , I suppose the next thing you will insist on my having him for a husband,' she re plied, her eyes filling with tears at this un wonted harshness in hsr indulgent father, i'.'My dear child,' said the the Judge, kindly, touched by the evident grief of his daughter, though unable to understand the cause, 'I shall insist on no sueh thing. I really supposed you had a partiality for the young man, and I was glad of it, for I entertain a very high opinion of him. But if it i3 not so, we'll say no more about it. Only remember that I desire you to see him this evening, and tell him so yourself.' But it so happened lltat business of a very pressing nature called Fannie over to her sister's that evening, much to her lover's disappointment, and her father's chagrin, who was quite mystified at his daughter's conduct. 'Only to think, Mary,' said Fannie, as she drew her chair up to the table where her sister was sewing, 'that Charles Ray has asked papa's permission to visit me!'

Well, it is just what I expected,' replied Alary quietly. . What! without asking me about it!' ex claimed Fannie. I suppose he was pretty well informed of your sentiments in regard to him,' said her sister, smiling.' ' Well, he will find himself mistaken if he thinks to marry me,' said the little la dy, with great dignity.- I have no idea of being bargained for like a piece of mer chandise!' Why, Fannie! I really thought that you liked Charley.' I am sure it was very proper and honorable in him to ask papa' permission before speaking to you.' 'Very' proper. I daresay,' said Fannie, scornfully. But I can't abide these proper people that always do everything by rule. I suppose, if papa had lefused,; he would have walked away as : meek : as a whipped spaniel, and never have come nar raeP : i, : ; ; - ' '' How ridiculous, Fannie! Papa thinks a great deal of Mr. Ray. ' I heard him say the other day, that he- would rather have him foT a son-in-law than any other one he knew.' He thinks a great deal more of him than I dc, then,' was Fannia's scornful rejoinder. 'I have no idea of having a husband picked out for me. I can make my own selection. And I would rather never marry than to have as my husband such a tame spiritless man as Charles Ray!' i I ; Fannie was good as her word. - Sha took every oppoitunity of avoiding her suitor, for whom she had hitherto exhibited a preference, wlicl. would no doubt, in time, have ripened into a warmer feeling never giving him a chance of seeing or speaking with her alone. This 'obvious change in . her deportment- quite disheartened poor Charles, who wa3 sincerely attached toher, and was a source , of much annoyance to Judge Clifton, who had set his heart' on the match. . .. . ; , Mv child,' said the Judge to Fannie one morning, a , few days ; after, 'I quite agree with you in your opinion, of lIr. Ray, he is an-insufferable puppy!" Wbo? . Charles Ray?' asked Fannlei in astonishment. : , " ' ' V J l- 'Yes, 'Charles. Ray; I repeat.it,. he is an insufferable pupyyj' said the old gentleman in a still more excited ': tone , and' manner,' bringing his cane down on the , floor . with empha3is.':i Td keep' hanging around here when he knows ho is not wanted! I shall Lake the firstopportunity I have of requesting him to discontinue his visits.' ' ''Why, how you talk, papa' said Fann? her color rising .'I see nothiug.at. all out of the way with the young man; he, has always behaved remarkably wellr I am sure.' c'Perhaps you may not,' said the Judge, sternly, 'but I do; which-is of some cpnsequence. whatever you may think to the contrary. c And1 1 shall make it1, a' point with' vou that' you' a! course with him. r.:' aostain irom an inier"And -so the old? gentleman wenfout of tho room, banging the door after hira in a

manner that quite frightened Fannie, who had never known her father so excited before. ' - ". ' ; ' "'V' It so happened that Charles called that very afternoon. : : ... 'I can't imagine what papa can see out of tho way in him,' thought Ffcnnie, as she looked upon his handsome, animated countenance. He has a beautiful smile, and is so gentlemanly in his manner, beside.' . ' ' Perhaps something of this was ; visible in Fannie 's countenance. At any rate there was. something in its expression that "fc emboldened him to take a seat by her, side, which he lud not ventured to do for some time. ... He had hardly done so, however, when the door opened and Judge Clifton walked in. v '-- ' ' How is this, Fannie?' he said, sterny; I thought that I had positively instructed you in regard to your intercourse with this gentleman. 'And as for you,' he added, turning to Charles, 'I beg leave to inlorm you that you' are comiag here for what you won't get with my consent. I have other views for my daughter, and desire" that you will, for tho future, keep away from the house.' This tirade so shocked and and astonished Fannie that she burst into tears. Upon which her father desired her, in no very gentle tone, to leave the room, which she lost no time in obeying. After indulging in a long, hearty cry, Fannie wiped her eyes, and went over to her sister's, to pour all her grievances into her sympathizing bosom. . V. Mary consoled her as well as she could, but ended in advising her to soften her father's feelings by avoiding Mr. Ray as much as possible. To which the young lady very indignantly responded that' she would die first; that she would show papa that she was not a child to be controlled in that waynot she; Fannie staid to tea; and who should come in but Charles Ray? The meeting was rather embarrassing to both; but Fannie, anxious to atone . for her fathers rudeness, in .the morning, was more than usually gracious and conciliating, and this soon wore away. Charles remained all the evening, and at its close accompanied Fannie to her fathers door, though ho did not consider it advisable to go farther. . t - 'How well Mr. Rty looked, to-night, said Fannie to herself, as sho entered hor room. I never saw him so agreeable. After this Fannie met him frequently at her sisters, and every, succeeding interview deepened the favorable impression she received that evening until, at last, the lady 8 heart was fairly caught, was brought to terms, and was obliged to surrender, and to that .'tame, spirtless man, Charley Ray. ', When Fannie began, to realize the state of her feelings', the strong aversion that her father had so suddenly conceived for her

lover began to trouble her; but, in spite of all she could say, she was unable to persuade him to renew his former proposition to the Judge, or make the least attempt to conciliate him. . - j Weeks passed, and, as there appeared to be no hope of obtaining Judge Clifton s. consent, Lharles at Ja9t proposed a clandestine marriage, aud after a severe struggle in Fannie 8 heart between her affection for her father and hor love for him, the latter triumphed. It was nearly eleven odock at night, and Fannie Clifton sat at the open window of her room, anxiously awaiting the approach of her lover. ' An elopement does not appear to be such a funny affair, after all; her cheeks were pale, and tears filled her eyes, as she thouglAof the indulgent parent she was about to leave forever. Suddenly a low. whistle fell upon her ear. Fannie seized her bonnet and shawl, and glided noiselessly down stairs. She was soon in her lover's arms. ! ' 'Dear Charles, she sobbed, 'I'm : afraid I'm doing (wrong , It teems ungrateful to leave poor papa, who has been so kind to me. f 'Do you love him more than you dp me, Fannie?' inauired Charles, a little re proachfully. I r . : .' . 'Oh, tio, Charles, I did not mean that. But do you really think that he will foigivo re? . . '"'.' " ... - I have not the least doubt of it, darling, he replied, a quiet smile playingl around his lips. .. j - ; . ; I ' ' .: . ? Soothed hy his assurance, she,; allowed him to lift her into the carriage. 'I liopo you are not going to stop here, Charles, said Fannie, in alarm, shrinking back into the carnage as," -after driving nearly a mile, they drew up, in front, of a large white, house..,. Why,. this is : Elder Kingtev's! I. know him Very well.. . ,. , ' Oh, that will make no difference.'replied Charles, gaily, jumping out and holding out i his. hands for hr to alight.- 'I've told ; him all about it. Heis expecting ' -It seemed so, for the venerable man had not yet retired, an J manifested no surprise at thair appearance, or the errand on which they came, v . :r.f.i '. '. :.: .They stood up, and Elder. Kingsley, in a few solemn words, united them for lifej ' The ceremony was so brief that Fannie hardly realized that she was a ' wife and looked up bewildered into her husband's face, who wks looking down upon her with a happy smile'. . - .. f. Ihey were too. much absorbed' in their own' happiness to' notice the approach of a genUerban who had entered the room unperceived, until he stood directly opposite them.' Fannie turned an4 uttered, a cry of terror and surprise, for it was Judge viiuuii, w uuku cyea, wciw . uacu ujjuu iter with a look of severe d is bleasuri, thouzh an attentive observer would- havo noticed a slight twitching around the 'mouth, evi dently; prompted by a strong inclination ,to laugh.! . ; r-', t.. . r. .. Forgive me, papa" exclaimed the newr made bride, bursting into tears. ,

Ha, ha, ha!' laughed the Judge, unable longer to control. - 'Forgive you? of course I won't! I'll cut you off without a shilling banish you from my bouse forever, you deceitful baggage you! Do you know what you have done, you ungrateful minx? You have married the very man I selected for you dono the very things you declared over and over again that you would never do I : IIa, ha, ha! it is the most capital joke I ever read of I , When Fannio comprehended the successful ruse that had been practiced against.her, sho made a strong effort to assume a displeased and indignant lookbut it was a complete failure. She was in reality too happy, at the unexpected turn affairs had taken to look otherwise th-n pleased, and received the congratulations of her numerous friends, who now poured in from an adjoining room, with all the smiles and blushes usual on such occa

sions. 'Are you offended, dearest?' inquired Charles, as soon as they were free from observation'. Fannie might have been, but there certainly was no trace of anger in the soft blue eyes that were raised to his, overflowing with love and happiuess. Fcflcrson's Birth-day Celebrated by the Black. Republicans. How Inappropriate. ' . The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writing under date of April 15th, 1859, says: One of the coolest acts of presumption l ever heard of, or witnessed, was the celebration here of Thomas Jefferson's Birthday by the Republicans. It came off on the 13th inst. Francis P. Blair prßsidd, and DaviJ R. Goodloe delivered the oration. I am more than ever convinced of the truth of the old adage, that wonders will never, cease. . If I had heard that Christ had been worshipped in. the Temple of Mecca; that' the Peace Society had erected a monument to Napoleon the First, I could, not have been more astonished. No man ever lived who left behind hira so many evidences of his disapproval of the doctrines now professed by ihe Republican party. His acts and his sentiments are a standing protest of that organization. For Satan to quote from the scriptures is not more out of character than for tho reublicans to eulogise Jefferson, the great head of the parly. .to ..which they are opposed. Mr Jefferson was the great embodiment of State Rights and of popular sovereignty. He was jealous f the encroachments of tho General government. He hated cant, illiberality and b igotry. He was a warm friend of the Union, and a zca'ous opponent of sectionalism in all its phases. 'His nature, character and instincts were all on the side of Democracv, as it is nsw understood by the party that now bear that name, and of which he was the great head. Democrats here are indi'nant that the old hereditary , foes of Jefferson's principles should seize upon his glorious name and seek to use his fame to overturn his cherished creed. If the old statesman could be permitted to revisit the earth, and witness these mock. Republicans chanting hozaBnas to his memory, he would think that u political miracle had been wrought, and that his enemies had experienced - a thorough converson. To show how strongly antagonistical Jefferson's sentiments were . to Blair, and his friends! , I will quoto some extracts from his writings, commencing with a letter to General Lafayette, of November 4, 1803, wherein he 6ays: The- Hartford Convention, the victory of Orleans, the peace of Ghent, prostrated the name of Federalism. Its votaries abandoned it through shame and mortification, and'now call themselves Republicans. But the name alone is changed; the principles are the same. On the eclipse of Federalism with us, though not its. extinction, its leaders got up the Missouri question under the false front of lessaninir the nieasure of slavery,' but with the real view of producing a geographical division of parties, which might ensure them the next President. The people of tho North went blindfolded iato the snare, followed their leaders for awhile with a z?al truly moral and laudable, until they became sdn9ible . . -i - .1 i mac mey-weie injuring, insieau oi aiaing the real interests of tho 6laves; . that thev had been ufed merely as tools fur electioneering purposes, and that trick of hypocrisy then fell as, quickly as it had been got up- ' 1 ' ' ."' 1 would like to hear William II Seward take that as his head for ft discourse at such a celebration. ! : !' .'. , In a letter to John Adams, April 22nd, 1821, he says: . : What does, the Jioly alliance, in and out of Congress; intend to dp, with us "on the Missouri question? .Arid this, by the way, is but the name of the case-is only' the John Doe or Richard Roe of the ejectment. The real question, is siren 'in the States afflicted with this unfortunate 'population, is: Are our slaves to be presented with freedom or a dagger? -s -.. To Mr. Short, April 13, 1820, Mr Jefferson said? . ..: i, , Although I had laid down as taw to myself Wcver to write talk Or even, think o.f politics, to know nothing of-public affairs, and had, therefore, ceased to read newspapers, yet the Missouri .question-aroused and filled mo with alarm; The old seism of Federal and. Republicanism threatened nothing, because it existed IU every estate, and United them' together by the fraternism of party. : But the coincidences of a marlred principle, : moral and political, with : a geographical line once conceived, I feared would never be obliterated from the mind; tnai it wouia do recurring on - everv occa-. sion' and receiving irritations until ft' would kindle such mutual and moral hatred a to render separation preferable t($ eternal discord. . , y l'(V . ., v What would Senator Wilson of Massachusetts respond to that?

In a letter to Mr Madison, in IC2J, Mr Jefferson said: The leaders of Federalism, defeated in thfeir. schemes of obtaining power, have changed their tack and thrown out another barrel to the whale. They re taking advantage of the virtuous feeling of the people to effect a division "f parties by h geographical line, expecting that this will insure them, upon local principles, the ma-, jority they could never obtain on principles of Federalism. . ... - What would Mr Greely say to that? In a letter to John Hulravs,. April 2J, 182J, Mr Jefferson said: An ' abstinance, too, from this act of power would remove the jealousy exi-itei by the undertaking of Congress to regulate the condition of the different descriptions of men composing a S-.au. Thin cerraiily is the exclusive right of every S:a e, which nothing in the Constituiij!i has taken from them and given to the Gineral Government. Could Congress, for example, say that the non-freemen of Connecticut should oe freemen, or that they shall not emigrate inti any othr State? There i a text for Francis P Blair. Mr. Jefferson, in a letter to H. Nelson. March 12, 1823. said: I am so completely withdrawn from all attention to public matters, that nothingless could arousi me than the definition of a geographical lre, whih, on an abstract principle, is to become the line of separation of these Slates, and to render denpirate the hope that man can ever enjoy the two blessings of peace and self government. Mr HaTe can respond to that. . Ina letter to Joseph C. Cable, January 31, 182Ir Jefferson said: How many of our 'youlh the Harvard College now has learnmgthe lessons of an-ti-Mis50uri8m I know not. but a genileman hitely from Prinwtojrn told m that more than '. half were Virginians. These will return home, no doubt, deeply impressed with the sacred principles of the holy alliance of Restriclionists. , Will Mr Giddings respond? ' In 1784 Mr Jefferson wrote an ordinance for the North-Western Territory, iu which there was this provison: Fugitives, however, owing service in o'.her States, may be reclaimed and carried back to the person claiming hi or her labor or service. - ; This would do excellently well for Mr Giddings to respond to. To General . Dearborn, March 17, 1815, he f aid:Oh, Massachusetts! how I have lamented the degradation f your apostaoy. Wlille under present councils, she must be contented to be nothing, as having a vote indeed to be counted, but not respected ' Charles Sumner will pleas 3 respond to that sentiment. , In speakir,g ot political preaching from the pulpit, Mr Jefferson sai I: Wholly unacquainted with the world, in which they are so fond of meddling, and inexperienced in all its affairs, on which they presume with so much con ß Jene, they knew nothing of politics but the passion they exciie. Surely the Church is the place where one days truce ought to be allowed to the dissembns and animosities of mankind. He prayed to be delivered from the Maratsr the Danton s and the RoLespWr! of the priesthood, who were the Beecherf, Cheeveis and Tyngs of his day. In the treaty made by Mr Jffersn with France, for the purchase of Louisiana, occurs this sentence: . t The inhabitants shall be maintained in the free enjoyment of their property. Much ef tint property, wa all know, consisted of slaves. In IC2J Mr Jefferson thus wrote to General Lafayette: " All know, that permitting the slaves. of the South to spread into tho Wst will not

' In the mean iim it it a ladder for rivals climbing to power. I think Governor Clidse mtht with propriety bs called on Id respond to that. It will be 6eeri from thesa. extracts that the Black Kepublieans wOcelebra'.e.hii birthday, are but close cöpyis:s of the per sons Mr Jefferson described, in his day, as the noisy pretenders to exclusive humanity, and as desirous of getting up geographical and sectional divisions among the States and a3 pros jiuiing tho pulpit' and the sacred calling of a minister of Christ b) meddling with tho strife and turmoil of: politics, and as usi tg the slavery question as a ladder to climb to power. Their hypocrisy, and the nakedness of the imposition that belongs to iheir late cfle braiion, are made glaringly manifest from the extracts I have given from Mr Jeffer son s wrtnngs. JCiTGen. Washington once stopped.at t. hotel wtih a squid of subordinate fficeri, And attracted the attention oCan Irish sen vant. ; Pai was veiy attentive to the General, and promptly attended to every wish. The general observed tho Irishman gaiing dt him and his officers as they were but departing, and asked Pat "'how he likc3 the looks; of his boy 8?" v fVelh yer honor," replied , Pat, "Vn. nrvt a competent judge of tho stars ln.tht presence' of the sun'." jtSMiss, can I have the xqninite pleasure of rolling; the wheel of conversation around the axletree of your understand-, ing a few minutes this evening?
