.SOME STRANGE AND ROMANTIC VI CI SSI Tf.'UES IN THE LIFE OF A SARA TOO A WAITER.
Year after year Robert Jackson has I teen the second waiter at the Grand Union but the careless crowds that frequent the mammoth hostelry have not known tint through his veins courses the proudest Virginia blood.
Robert Is asm ill, well-made quadroon fashioned, perhaps, in about the same mould as Stephen A. Douglas, for his head closely resembles that of the Little Giant. His grandfather was
Jeneral Harry Lee, of Revolutionary light-horse cavalry fame, and his mother a slave woman named Jenny, a maid
Mrs Lee. .Soon alter the birth of William Jackson, the head waiter's lather, Jenny was sold to Colonel Stewart, of Frederick county, Maryland. The boy William showed extraordinary intelligence, and became a pet of his master, and on the death of Colonel Stewart found himself free by a clause in the will. William went immediately to Washington, where ho had been many times with his master. There he met John McLean, Postmaster General under Martin Van lUiren, and a friend of his old master. Judge McLean apfointod him a messenger in the Postoflice Department, at a salary of^UUU per annum.
Whilo a messenger in the Post office Department, William Jackson met a beautiful, long haired octoroon, the sluveofuld Judgo John Stewart, of Ualtlmore. The slave girl's name was Kachel, and she camo to attend Miss stewurt, one of the fashionable Haitimore belles, at one of President Van Huron's receptions. William lost his heart with the dusky maid, and soon went to IJultlmore to get Judge Stewart, who owned her, to consent to their marriage.
No, sir." said the Judgo, indignantly Kachel is a slave, and she must marry a slave. If she marries a free nigger she will be runningaway herself and bos id o*, I don't know when 1 may want to sell her to tho Now Orleans raders." "Then I can never marry her?" "Never, until
Homebody
buys her
from me," replied tho Judgo. Kachel wan sent to the Frederick county farm, and thlthor William went in the night to hold a consulation with her. First It was resolved to run a way.
Llut there wua no chance of success. Che Fugitive Slave Law wii^ in ell'oct »s*es were required by the slaves on ihe plantation, and to run away was -turely to ho caught, returned, nnd then a dreadful whipping followed. "What can we do sobbed Kachel. 1 know," replied William "1 will buy you myseli."
But you have no money." I can work and earn it," replied the determined lover.
How much will you take for Kachel?" he asked of Judgo Stewart the next day. "Well, a thousand dollars will buy her," replied tho hard-hearted Judge.
William went to work—every cent was saved, ho even going on fool into Frederick count hv night to see Kaeh«ol whi |ihev lieid solemn consultations and hoped only for the time when he could buy her and own her and mako her hie xvifo.
Think of that, mercenary beaux, heartless fortune hunters of Congress Hull—think of toiling night and day, :iiul then think of paying your last cent lor the love of a woman.
Two years rolled around, and nine hundred dollars gladdened the sight of William Jackson. Christmas came.
What shall I give you lor Christmas this year, William?" asked the good old Post master General of his trusty messenger.
Anything. Mr. Secretary." I Wit what would you like most?" Then William told tho story of his and Rachel's troubles—how he was afraid she would be sold, how ho loved her dearly, and how he lacked still a .hundred dollars to buy her.
Tho old Postmaster took off his specs, wiped hit eyes, than put them onagaiu. 'Then he fumbled In his pockets. "Five -ten—twenty—thirtv, ho counted, and then he handed William a hundred dollars.
Too happy to live, William started for Judge Stewart's. Hero,-• Maater John," said he, with his eves all aglow with ioy, here is the thousand dollars—now I want Kachel."
My God, William, you don't tell me wo!" exclaimed the Judge. "Why, I isold Rachel yesteiday for $1,200, to go to Mobile." "When is she going?" itsked "Willlam, nervously, "She's uone already—went yesterday. She'll

davs, by the boat." Broken hearted and crushed in spirit William hurried back to Judg*» Mcl^an, in Washington. The Judge heard his story. Daniel Webster and John C. 'HIIIOUM were in the Judge's room,and hev both took a deep interest. "l^t's raise tho money and *end 'William after her," said the generous "Welvster.
He would seised a doxon times n* a fugitive," s.tid the Judg*\ "and thov'll sell him, too," "I'll send inv private

AN INDIAN UEL.
Long ere the ceaseless, ever-rolling tide of the pale-faced Che-mo-ke-mun bad swept away from their homes and their hunting-grounds the warlike tribe of the Miamis, while their numerous camp-fires illumined the hills and the valleys of the West, when the braves of their tribe passed to battle along the war-path, Min-ge-ne-ke-aw— the big man—one of thb gallant chiefs of the nation felt his ire excited at the reputation which a member of his tribe, a naif-breed, called Francois Godfrov, had obtained for courage and personal strength.
Min-ge-ne-ke-aw claimed to be the bravest as well as the strongest man of his people, and would endure no rival. He chafed like the wild boar when he beard the braves and red beauties extol the manly bearing oi his competitor, and he resolved to test the courage and
Eat.
hvsical power of Frank in single comHe gave no challenge to mortal strife with "your humble servant"at the bottom, but,meeting Frank oneday, he accosted him thus:
Are you a brave man Yes," was the replv. -h "Then meet me Here to-morrow morning at sunrise, with j'ourscalpingknife in your right hand we will join our left hands, and he who kills the other is the best and bravest warrior of the Miamis."
Frank, though a man of dauntless courage and herculean strength, saw no good reason to test either in that way, hut nothing but blood would satisfy the chief, and Frank replied:
I'll meet you." At the appointed hour the chief strode along to the battle-ground. He relied not only on his personal strength, but also on his great dexterity in the use of the scalping-knife, which he had tried on tho pale-laces at Hariner St. Clair's defeat, and all along our frontier.
His dark eyes Hushed as, with the deep growl of a tiger, he advanced to anticipated victory. He brandished his knife, and called on his antagonist to sing his death-song, ere his spirit was dismissed by the great chief to the distant hunting-grounds of the dead warriors of their race, who had fallen in battle and gone to the far west, beyond the great rivers.
Frank saw there was no avoiding the deadly strife. To refuse was to he branded as a coward and a squaw. The only alternative was victory or suddeu death so he llourished his keen blade, gave a shrill whoop of defiance, and advanced. They joined their left hands, and there they stood, face to face, like Fitz James undjRhoderic Dhu— "Each looked to sun, and sky, and plain,
AH what they ne'er might see again." They mustered all their strength for the deadlj' thrust, raised their keen knives aloft, but ere they fell, Frank, the grip of whoso hand was like an iron vice, wrung tho left hand ofMin-ge-ne-ko aw with such tremendous force as nearly crushed the bones together. Tho chief, with a yell of anguish, dropped his knife and cried out:
You area braver and a stronger warrior than I am lot us shake hands, and be friends forever."
AN OLD LADY'S ADVICE.—"NOW, John, listen to me, for I am older than you are. or I couldn't bo your mother. Nover do you marry a young woman, John before you have contrived tohappon at the house at least four times before broakfast. You should know how late she lies in bod in the morning. You should tako notice whether her complexion is tho same in the morning as In tho evening, or if the washbowl and towel have robbed her of her evening blooin. You should take care to surpriso her, so that you can see her in hor morning dross, and observe her occupation when she is not expecting you. If possible you should bo where you could plainly hear tho morning conversation between hor and her mother. If she is ill-natured and snappish to hor mother, so she will bo to vou, depend upon It. And if you find nor up and neatly dressed in the morning, with tho samo countenance, the same smiles, the same noatly combed hair, the snmo ready nnd pleasant answers to her mother, which characterized hor deportment in the evening, and particularly if she is lending a hand to got the breakfast ready in good season, she itf a groat prize. John and the sooner vou secure her to yourself the bettor.''
SUICIDE COMMITTKD.—As a result of an inactive state of liver and stomach, producing headache, obtuse intellect, dullness, despondency, dementia, ana finally Insanity, is no uncommon occurrence. All those disagreeable symptoms and bad feelings are most certainly dispelled by tho use of Ir. Pierce's (Jolden Medical Discovery. Ij revitalizes and builds up the whole system.
