THE ACCEPTED LOVEII. Well, I’m an accepted lover— Bins me! how l feel, Sallie will be mine forever— How the blisses steal Over me, in streaks of glory, Like the borealis, Lighting up my throbbing bosom, Bright as any palace. I’m engaged! now did you ever Dream of such a thing? How tlie dear one will caress me. And so fondly cling To iny bosom for protection, With such artless pride— Gracious! I’m the happiest mortal, Ever won a bride. I’ve a wife, that is, prospective, And will be in lact, Soon as I cun get the parson To perforin tiie act, That will bind our hands together, As our hearts are now— Jehu'. Won’t it be delicious Making such a vow? How I wish that all were ready; 1 can scarcely wait Till tlie time we have appointed. Li st some cruel fate Should deprive me of my treasure By some,hidden blow— Moses! Don’t I wish the minutes Would liol move so slow! Well, my single life Is over, Or, it soon wiil be, Wbut a double one will bring me, I iiave yet to sec; Bui I'm anxious to begin It, Be it what it may, If a scene of thrilling pleasure, Or the De il to pay. But it's nol much worse I reckon, Than u single life, Even with file curtain lectures Of u scolding wife; Curtain Lectures! wnat a libel On tin- fi-mule race; How can such bewi cl.ing Cfdaturca Wear all angry lace? Won’t I lord it. when 1 marry, O .a r crusty “baches,” With their coats and pantaloons Full ol nasty patches? Looking like the prodigai son, Whenjie struck u iiu -, For liis father’sj«H/tf Co?', just After feeding swine! But I'm r-ady now and waiting— Stic is rich as cream. Hang in- , il I'm not so happy, Tii i! it seems a dream— Gracious goodness! how 1 tremble With excessive bliss; I cannot survive another Fuch a day as this! [N. O. Picayune.

,Miscellaneous. [From the Fail Francisco Golden Kia. TStE OLD OAuTiHAN, Five years ago, or thereabout, John Ainsley—or “Pap Aittolev,” as he was familiarly called—was the owner of a hand-cart, and earned a living by conveying miscellaneous ! parcels rom one section of the city to ano- j ther. and receiving therefor tlie reasonable 1 remuneration of fifty cents per load. To! designate the occupation in the prosiest lat -1 guage possible, he was a hand-cartman, and when not employed, could always be found: during working hours at the corner of Montgomery and California streets. His hair and long beard were quite gray, and his feeble; and if he could not shove as heavy a load through the deep sand or up the steep grade above him as the stalwait Teuton on the opposite corner, thereby losing many a job and many a dollar, all the light loads ill the neighborhood fell to his lot, and kindhearted men not unfrequently traveled a square or two out of their way to give an easy job to “Pap Ainsiey.” Four years ago last September, recollect the moti.h, for l hud a note of four thousand dollars to pay, and was compelled to do some j pretty sharp financiering to meet, it,) having j two or three dozen volumes to transfer to my j lodging, I gave “Pap Ainsley” the task of j transportation. Arriving at my room just as he had deposited the last armtu! on the; table, and observing that the old man looked considerably fatigued after climbing three flights of stairs five or six times, I invited him to take a glass of brandy—a bottle of which I usually kept in my room for medicinal and soporific purposes. Although greatful for the invitation he politely declined. I urged, but he was Inflexible. I was astonished. “Doyou never drink!”said I. “Very seldom,” he replied, dropping into a chair, at my request, and wiping the perspiration fr-un | his forehead. “Well, if you drink at all,*’ I [ insisted,“you will not find in the next twelve months as fair an excuse for indulging, for you appear fatigued and scarcely able to stand.” “To be frank,” said the <ld man, “I do not drink now. I have not tasted intoxicating liquor for fifteen years—pslnce -”l 4 Since when?” I inquired, thoughtlessly, ob«; serving his hesitation, Tho old min told me. Sixteen years ago j he was a well-to-do farmer near Syracuse, New York. He had but one child—a daughter. While attending ft boarding school in

RENSSELAER. JASPER COUNTY, IND, WEDNESDAY. JUNE B. 1850.

j that city, the girl, then but sixteen years of I age, formed an attachjnent for a young physician. Acquainting her lather wt’h the circumstance, he flatly refused his consent to her union with a man he had never seen, i and removing her from school, dispatched a i note to the young gallant, with the somewhat pointed infortiiationTlhat his presence in the neighborhood of the Ainsley farm would not m et with favor. The reader of course surmises the result, for such a proceeding could and can have but one result. In less than a month there was an elopement. The father loaded-his double-barreled shotgun, and swore vengeance, but failing to find the fugitives he took to the bottle. His good wife implored him not to give way to despair, but he drank the deeper, and accused her of encouraging the elopement. In three months the wife died, and at the expiration of a year, when the young couple returned to Syracuse from Connecticut, where they had remained with the parents of the husband, they learned that the old man,after the death of his wife, cf which they had of course been apprised,had sold his farm, squandered the proceeds, and was almost destitute. Learning of their arival, Ainsley dr; nk himself into a frenzy, and proceeding to the hotel where they were stopping, att .eked the husband, wounding him in the arm with a pistol shol, and then attempted the-life of his daughter, who, Yiappily, escaped uninjured through the interposition of persons brought to the spot by the report of the pistol. Ainsley was arrested, tried and acquitted on the plea of insanity. The daughter and her husband returned to Connecticut, since which time the fath'-r hid not heard iViijji them. He was sen* »o a lunatic asylum. ir< m-wlti h I»■’* dismissed t.'W IS . j ’naming sjix months. In 1351 he earn'- to! 1 ’»lilornia. He had followed (tuning ‘or two j years, but finding his strength unequal to t!je pursu t, rCUlriietl to this city, purchased a hand-cart, and- t!ih rest is known. “Since then,” concluded the old man, bowing hia .face in his hands iling ny. “I have not tasted liquor, nor have I seen my poor child.” I regretted that I had been so inquisitive, and expressed to the sufferer the sympathy I really felt for him. A ter that, i seldom passed the corner without looking for “Pap Ainsley," and never saw h : rn but to think of the sad story he had told me. One chilly, drizzling day in the December following, a gentleman having purchased u small marble top table at an auction roam opposite, proffered to the old man the job of conveying it to his residence, on Stockton street. N»t wishing to accompany the carrier, he had selected, the lace, probably, giving the best assurance of the careful delivery of the purchase. Furnished with the number of the house, the old curtmun, after a pretty trying struggle with the steep ascent ol C lifornia street, reached It is destination, and deposited the table in the hall. Lingering a moment, the , lady did not surmise the reason, until he politely informed her that her husband (lor such he took him to be) had propably neglected by accident to settle for the cartage. “Very well, I will pay you, said the lady, stepping into adjoining room. Site returned, and stating that they had no small coin in the house, handed the man a twenty-dollar piece. He could not make the change. “Never mind, I will call to-morrow,” said he, turning to go. “No, no,” said the lady* glancing pityingly at his white locks and trembling limbs; “I will not permit you to put yourself to so much trouble,” and she handed the coin to Bridget, with instructions to see if she could get it changed at one ol the stores or markets in the neighborhood. “Step into the parlor until the girl returns; the air is chilly and you must be cold,” continued tlie lady, kindly. “Come,” she added, as he looked at his attire and hesitat«d; “there is a good fire in the grate, and no one there hut the children.” “It is somewhat chilly,” replied the old man, following her into the parlor, and taking a seat near the sue. “Perhaps I may find 6ome silver in the house,” said the lady, leaving the room, “for I fear Bridget will not succed in getting the twenty changed.” “Come here, little one,” said the old man. holding out his hand coaxingly to the younger of the two children —a girl about six years of age. “Come—l love little children,” and the child, who had been watching him wlthuirosity from behind U|e jams fVffl chaip, hesi tatlngly approached. id your name, dear':” inquired tlie cartman. “Marta,” lisped the little on*L < • 1 • i :' . it “Maria!” he repeated, while the great tears gathered in his eyes; “I once lied a iittle girl named Maria, .and you look 'vary much as she did.”

“FREEDOM NATIONAL—SLAVERY SECTIONAL.”

“Did you,” inquired the child, with inter- : est; “and was her name Maria Eastman, too?” t “Merciful God!” exclaimed the old man, starting from his chair and again dropping into it with his head bowed upon his breast. “This cannot be! and yet, why not?” He caught the child in his arms with an eagerness that frightened her, and gazing into her face until he found conviction there, suddenly rose to leave the house. “I cannot meet her without betraying myself, and I dare not | tell her that l am that drunken father who j once attempted to take her life, and perhaps ] left her h sband a cripple," he groaned, as he hurried toward the door. The little ones were bewildered. “You are not going?” said the mother, re-appear-ing, and discovering the old man in the act of passing into the hall. He stopped, and partly turned his face, but seemed to lack the resolution to do aught else. “He said he had a little Maria once, that looked just like me, mother,” shouted the child, her eyes sparkling with delight. The knees of the old cartman trembled, and he leaned against the door for support, the lady sprang towards him, and taking him by the arm, attempted to conduct him to a chair. “No, no!” he exclaimed, “not t’ll you tell me I am forgiven!” “Forgiven?—for what?” replied the mother in alarm. “Recognize in me your wretched father, and I need not tell you!” he faltered. “My poor father!”she cried, throwing her arms around his neck; “all is forgiven—all forgotten!” • A., toes forg'yon, and the husband, when j he r etin r:“d fate .-it the aftetn- or was scarce!iy less rej'tir*-* tha.q h:*g 1 eat the disj covery. or not ” et succeeded in changing the double eagle, I never learned; but this I do know— : t took the honest female all of two months’to unravel the knot :nto which the -domestic affairs of the family had tied themselves during her absence. Pup A'nsly still keeps his cart, for money would not induce him to part with it. I peeped into the back-yard of Dr. Eastman one day ias; week, and discovered the old mart dragging the favorite vehicle round the inclosure with his four grand-children piled promiscuously info it.

T he “Mad-stone.”

We stated in our last that a Mr Mallory and Mr. Ward, of this city, had been bitten by a mad dog, and had gone to try the virtues of a “mad-stone” in the central part of this State. The parties returned home on Monday evening last; having applied the stone, and have every reason io believe that they are cured. Mr. Mallory called at our office on Tuesday, and gives the following account of the operation: He found the “mad-stone” in the possession of Mr. J. P. Evans, in Lincoln, Logan county, and described it as a small fleshcolored stone, about two inches broad, half an inch thick, and very porous. The stone was first placed in warm water for an hour, and applied to the flesh wound, when it adhered firmly for several hours, all the time apparently drawing, with a strong suction, the blood from all parts of he body. Alter remaining on severl hours, the stone, as it became charged with poison, became of iniiky whiteness, as also did the flesh immediately about the wound, when, all at once, it fell oft, and being placed in warm milk emitted a strong, offensive odor, and gradually discharged its contents into the milk, and assumed its natural color again. It was then again applied, with the same results, several times, until finally it would adhere no longer, and the patient was declared cured. The parties have all confidence in the treatment, and feel an assurance that they have averted an awful death—particularly as it has since been ascertained that the dog that bit them was really mad, and a mare, belonging to Mr. Bickerman, which was bit the same day, has already been attacked with hydrophobia, nnd is probably dead by k this time. Mr. Mallory states that there were several other patients, from various parts of the country, awaiting at Mr. Evans' to apply the stone, and that it had never been known to fail effecting a cure. —He try (Marshal Co-, 11l ,) Courier. o^7"At Geneo, it has been stated, the citizens take pleasure in treating the French i s ildiera, and even coffee-house keepers soirp'time? refuse to accept payment from them. One of those I alter declined to accept money for a glass of brandy, supplied to a Chessotqr de Vincennes, and when the soldier insisted, tho. otner said, “Instead of money, you mu t k; i an Austrian for me!” “In th it case," cried, the soldier, “give me | mother duo': of bri'nly and,l will kill you UVo.”

Southern Politics.

| Intense excitement prevails in Texas and i Tennessee. The canvass for Governor in j the latter State is very animated, between ■ Netherland and Harris, and the contest for j Congress in the Memphis district, between Atkins and Etheridge, is a memoroble one, having called forth the most exciting debates between these two gentlemen. In Texas the German element has become so important that appeals are made, on both sides, to affect the German vote. That these Germans do not like the institution of slavery, is evidenced by the position they occupy in regard *o that institution in the free States. Meanwhile an attempt is making to reopen the slave trade in Texas, part of the soil o‘ which is better adapted to cultivation b». slave than white labor- This has aroused much feeling among tho Gormans, who are crowding into Texas in great numbers, (and are there already in great force,) but who will not consent t; an additional infusion of blacks, who are to compete with them in the contest for bread and life. There are other signs of trouble in -the Democratic camp in Texas. The present incumbent of the office of Governor, has been nominated for re-eiection; but a very large portion of the purty being dissatisfied with the way Brings were done, because the convention which nominated him did not indorse the adminis.ration of President Buchanan, they accordingly called a convention, which nominated ex-President ex-Governor and ex-Senator Sain Houston, as their candidate. The Democracy of Texas have nominated their Congressional candidates, and therein g : ven a fine illustration ol the beautiful harmony and consi: tenev ol this “great national party, ' whose “principles are everywhere the same.” In the Western District, their candidate is Gen. N. T Waul, a CalhounQuittnan fire-eater ari'l dis-unionist. In the Eastern District, they have J-II.-Reagan, who has lately published a manifesto against fillibustenn - and kind ed cri nes, and professes himself a Union man and a conservative. The Opposit-on ir. Georgia have called a State Convention, to be held at Milledgeville, on the third Wednesday in July. There is much activity among the Ante-Adit inistration men of that State, and should the Democracy there endorse Mr. Buchanan, a political revolution may he expected, giving the State officers and a majority of the Congressional delegation to the Opposition. A United States Senator is also to be chosen by the Legislature elected this season.

General Garibaldi.

Garibaldi, who is now doing good service in Italy, was born on the 4th of July, and will be fi ty-two years old on the occurrence of our next national anniversary. He is a native of Nice, and, therefore, a born subject of the Sardinian royal house. Of all the leaders of the liberals in 1848—’9, Garibaldi was the most straight-forward and sensible, and he is as brave as he is able and honest. In his early life he was a sailor, but in 1834 he was implicated in the Savoy Revolution and compelled to flee from the country. He Went to South America, where he raised no Italian legion of eight hundred men, and, as a citizen ol Monte Video, he joined in the war against R >sas, the tyrant of Buenos Ayres. In 1848 Garibaldi went back to Italy and enlisted.under Clearies Albert, King of Sardinia, who was then at war with Austria. That monarch was defeated and compelled to abdicate before Garibaldi could do anything for Italy. He had, however, some desperate fights with the Austrians. He was prominently connected with the formation of the Republic of Rome, when the Pope fled front that city in 1848. He was one of its most gallant defenders against the French when they took it. nnd replaced the Pontiff on the throne in 1849. Alter the failure of the Roman Republic he fled to Sardinia, where he was taki n and imprisoned for some time. Permission was finally given him to emigrate to the United States. He came here and remained until 1854. Such is the tnan —a veteran revolutionist, who at the last accounts had unfurled the flag of rebellion in Austrian Lombardy. Owen county Journal contains the following item: Mr. A. L. Nichols, of Morgan township, in tltis county, some twelve miles from here, is the possessor of a curious production ol nature — a calf with hut three legs. This curiosity was claved on the sth of May, aud I is said to be remarkably active and sprightly, being able to get over ground as rapidly, as many of the four legged kind. Its foreparts are well formed and natural, and its no!y defect is the übs nee of the right hind |pg. hip, and line bone. The calf looks well and grows as rapidly. Mx- N. says, as any he ever saw

Successful Suit for the Freedom of a White Girl.

A most interesting suit was completed oa Saturday, in the Fifth District Court, Judge Eggleston presiding. It was the case of a suit for freedom from slavery, the plaintiff being a white girl, sixteen or seventeen years of age, with a complexion bordering on a brunnette, named Alexiana Morrison, and the defendant a slave dealer of Jefferson county, named James White. The girl, about a year and a half ago, ran away from White’s slaveyard, where she had been several years, and was protected by some citizens of Carrolton, whom she informed ahft had been kidnapped from Arkansas, and sold into slavery", though she was born free and of white parents. For the plaintiff, the chief testimony was that of a scientific gentleman, showing that there was no evidence of African descent. And for the defendant the principal evidence was narrowed down to a single bill of sale, which he produced from a person in Arkansas who was not present. The jury deliberated but a few minutes, and brought in a verdict for the plaintiff.—.V. O. Delta.

Anecdote of Dr. Franklin.

Long after the victories of Washington over the French and English had made hia name familiar all over Europe, Dr. Franklin chanced to dine with the English and French Embassadors; when, as nearly as the precise words can be recollected, the following toasts were drunk: “England—The Sun whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotest corner* of the earth.” The ! rench Embassador, filled with national pride, but to polite to dispute the previous toast, drank the following: “Franc?—The Alton whose mild, steady, and cheering rays are the delight of al! nations, cotiso ing them in darkness, and making their dreariness beautiful.” Dr. F.-ankun then rose, and, with his usual dignified simplicity’ said: “George Washington—The Joshua who commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still, and they obeyed him." barrel of whisky took fire and exploded, in a grocery at Mobile, Ala.; the head of the barrel was blown completely through the roof ol the building, and every pane of glass in the building was broken. Mrs. K Jly, the wife of the grocer, was covered with the burning liquor, and died of her injuries. It must have been better whisky than they sell in these diggings. latest dig story is told of two brutes of that species who fell to fighting, in a saw mill out West. In course of the tussle. one of the dogs went plump against the saw, which was in rapid motion, and it cut him in two instanter. The hind legs ran away, but the fore legs continued to fight, and whipped the other dog. Another proof that the ruling passion is strong in death. v on the “Eastern Shore” of Virginia, is an editor, who is also his own compositor and pressman, who makes occasional voyages along the coast of Norfolk at captain of the schooner Polly, who preaches on Sunday, teaches school on week days, and still finds time to take care of a wife and sixteen children. (py*A young clergyman was boasting of having been educated at two colleges. “You remind me,’’ said an aged divine, “of an instance I knew, of a calf that sucked two cows.” “What was the consequence?” asked a third person. “Why, sir,” replied the old gentleman, very gravely, “the consequence was that he was a very great caff.” OO~A Boston paper states that of 953 clergymen attending the Lite anniversaries in that city, but 73 wore the professional badge, the white cravat. The growth of hair o" the faces of many of the divinps.was another sign that they are willing to stand as men among n.en; and to find their appropriate distinctions in something of more consequence than peculiarities of costume. I have planted some potatoes in our garden,” said one of the smart youths of this generation to his father, “and what do you think came up!” ‘‘Why, 'potatoes, of course.” “No, sir-ree! There came up a drove of hogs and ate them all.” The “old man” gave in. lawyer not young nor handsome, examining a young lady witness, determined to perplex her as he thought, and said:“Miss, upon my word, you are very pretty!” “I would rete i the compliment if I was not on oath,” said sno young lady. o^7* A romantic father, whose name was Rose, named his daughter “Wild,” so that she grew up under the appellation of “Wild Rose.” But the romance of the name was sadly spoiled in a few years, for she married a man by the name of“ Bull.” o^7”“ Mother, I should’nt be surprised if our Susan got choked some day,” “Why, my soi?” “Because her boau twisted his arm around her neck, the other night, and if she hadn’t of bit him he would have strangled her!” only notion some women have of time, is shown by their constantly endeavoring to imitate in their persons, r.s t as they can, the hour-glass
