Sometime Just before or about the be
ginning of the revolutionary war, Sergeant
Jasper, of Marion s Brigade had the good
fortune to save the life of a young, beau
tiful and dark-eyed creole girl called Sally
St. Clair. Her susceptible nature .was
overcome with gratitude to her preserver,
and this soon ripened into a passion of
love, of the most deep and fervent kind.
. She lavished upon him the whole wealth
of her affections, and the whole depth of
passion nurtured by a Southern sun'. ■.
When h,o called upon to j oih the ranks
ol his country's defenders, the prospect .of
their separation almost maddened her.——
Their porting came; but scarcely was she
left alone, ere her romantic nature prompt
ed the means of re-uniont. Once resolved,
no consideration of danger could dampen
her spirit, and thought of consequence
could move her .purpose. She severed
her long and jetty Ringlets, and provided
herself, and set forth to follow the fortunes
of her loycr.
A smooth-faced, beautiful and delicate
stidj^ipgap^a^dlanioh^theJiftrdy/rough
and giant frames; who composed the qorps
to which jasper belonged. The contrast
between the I stripling and these men, in
their uncouth garbs, their massive faces,
embrowned and discolored by the .sun, and
pain, was indeed striking. But none was
more eager for the battle, or so indifferent
to fatigue as the fair faced boy. It- wias
found that his energy of character, reso
lution and courage, amply supplied his
lack of physique. None ■ ever suspected
that she was a woman. None, even Jas
per himself although she iwas often by
his ade, penetrated her with kindness and
respect, and often applauded heto heroic
bravery. JPhfev romance of her situation
increased the fervor of. her passion. It
wgs her delight to reflect that unhhown Jo
him, she was by. his side, to .watch over
him, ip the hour of danger. She had fed
Jer pfMwii Dy gaaing upon him in thc
“ < Wf. $ slmnbfer; hovering near him. whan

anddways ready to avert danger from his

die,:imd he.never know to what lengfti this
violence of her passion had Jed her.,
It was the eve before a battle. The
camp Had sunk into a repose. The watch
fires were burning low, and only &e islow
tread of sentinels fell upon the profound
silence of the night air as they moydn
through the dark shadows of the forest.-4-
Stretohed upon the ground, with no other
couch than a blanket, reposed the warlike
brm of Jasjper, Climbing vines tiailed
hemselves into a canopy above his head,
through which the stars shone softly.—
The faint flicker from the expiring em
bers of fire fell athwart his countenance,
and tinged the cheek of one who bent
above his couch. It was the smooth-faced
stripling. She bent low down, as if to
Alstom to his dreams or to breathe into his
Eotil pleasant visions of love and happiness.

and fell silently but rapidly

ops vo*oe bus told that the hour of parting
has come, that to-morrow her destiny Is'
consummated. There is one last, linger
ibg
to hpraelf away ftom the spot, to weep
out her sorrows in privacy. J
Fierce and terrible is the conflict that
on tho morrow rages on that spot. Fore
most in that battle is the intrepid Jasper,
apd ever by his side fights the stripling
warrior, i Often, during the heat and
smoke,; gleams suddenly upon the eyes of
Jasper, the melancholly fece of the maiden.
In the’thickest of the fight, surrounded
by enemies, the lovers fight side by side,
bnddenly a lance is leveled at the breast
of Jasper; but swifter than the lance, is
.Sally St. IClair. There is a wild cry, and
at the feet of Jasper sinks the maiden,
With the life-bloodgushing from her white
bosom. He heeds not the diu or the dan
ger of the conflict; but down by x the side
of the dying boy he kneels. Then, for
the first time, (foes he learn thpt the strips
ling is Lis love; that often by the camp
fire, and in the swamp, she has been by
his side; that the dim visions in his slum
ber, of anj angel face hovering above him,
had indeed been true. In the midst of
the battle* with her lover by her side, and
the barb still in her bosom, the heroic
maiden dies!
Her name, ter bex, and her noble de
votion soon became known through the
corps. There was a tearful group gather
ed around her grave; there was not of
these hardy warriors' pne who did not be
dew her grave with tears. They buried
her near the river Santee, “in a green
shady nook, that looked as if it had been
stolen out of Paradise.”

Oyer the beauty of the plum aud the
apricot, there grows a bloom aud beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself—a soft
delicate plush that overspreads its blushing
cheek. Now if you strike your hand over
that, and it is gone, it is forever j for it
never grows but once. Take the flower
that hangs in the morning impearled with
dew arrayed as no queenly woman evert
was arrayed with jewels. Once shake it
so that the. beads roll off, aud you may
sprinkle over it as carefully as you
please, yet it pan never be made again
what it waa when the dew fell silently
apod it from heaven ! On a frosty mor

tress, blended in a beautiful, fantastic pic,
Now lay your hand upon the glass,
and by the scratch of your finger, or by
the warmth of your palui, all the delicate
tracery will be obliterated I So there.is
in youth a beauty and purity of character,
which, when once touched and defiled,
can never be restored ; a fringe- more, deli
cate than frost work, and which, when
torn and broken, will never be re-embroi
dered. A man who has spotted and.spoil
ed his g«nueh.ts in youth, though he may

wbollvr do ijt, even were he to wash them
with his tears.- When styoung man leaves
his father’s, house, with the blessings of
his still wet ih his forehead,
.he, onpe loses that early purity of char-'

We commend the following remarks to

so modest as to shrink ftroni speaking to a
gentleman in the street’: 5
“Nothing is so illy understood in
America as those conventional laws of so

Europe, Xiadies eomplain tliat gentlemen

in fact the fault arises from their own
breach of politeness. It is their duty to
do the amiable first, for it is a privilege
which ladies enjoy of choosing their own
'associates, pr acquaintances. No gentle
man likes to risk the “ cut” in the streets
by a lady by a premature salute. Too
many ladies, it would seem, don’t know
their trade of politeness. Sleeting ladies
in the street, whom one has casually met
in company, they seldom Low unless he
bows first; and when a gentleman ever de
parts from the rule of good breeding, ex
cept occasionally, by way of experiment,
his acquaintances do not multiply, but he
stands, probajbly, charged with rudeness.
A lady must .be civil to a gentleman into
whose company she may casually be
placed; but a| gentleman is not, upon this,
to presume ujpon an acquaintanceship the
first time he afterwards meets her in the
street. If it be her- will, she gives some
token of recognition, when the gentleman
may.bow; but otherwise he must pass On
and consider himself a strnager. No lady
need hesitate to bow to a gentleman,
for be will promptly and politely answer
even if he has forgotten his fair saluter.
No one but a brute can do otherwise.-
Should bo paps on rudely bis diameter is
declared, and, there is a cheap riddance.—
Politeness or good breeding is like law—-
the ‘ reason of things.’ ”
How the Boys Fooled the Old «en-
lie was fat and on horseback. They
made him believe that a creek he had just
come to (it wgs in Alabama,) was so deep
his horse w.oijid have to swim it. The
Col. slowly divested himself of coat, boots,
pantaloons an|d drawers. These he nicely,
tied up in hjis handkerchief and hung
them on the horn of his saddle, then he
remounted, and as he was a short, fat man,
with a paunch of rather inordinate size,
rather inadequate legs, a face like a with
ered apple, and a brown wig, there is no
doubt he made an interesting picture as
he,bestrode his steed, with the breeze hoid
ing gentle dalliance with the extremity of
his only garment.
Slowly and cautiously the old gentle
man took the creek. Half a length and
the water was not fetlock deep. Here the
horse stopped! to drink. A length and a
half, and the! stream was no deeper.—
Thirty feet farther and a decided shoaling
Here Col. I) reined to. P
“ There miist,” said he, “be an awful
deep channel] bet ween this and the bank'
—see how it j’uils. We ll d:ujh through
here." j
A sharp made the horse spring the
watery waste, and another carried the
horse and to the opposite bank.
The creek was nowhere more than afoot
deep.
A wild ye|l from the young ’uns ’an
nounced theii] a pprobation x of tlie sport as
thpy galloped ’ away with the Col. after
them, imprecating ferociously, but they
got off and left linn grumbling and dres

Simplicity op Dress.— Female love
liness never appeared to so good advan
tage as when set off with simplicity of
dress; and opr dear human angels, if they
would make gbod their title to that name,
should 'carefully avoid ornaments which
properly belong to Indipn squaws and Af
rican princesses. .These tiuselries may
serve to give effect on the stage or on the
bed room floor, but in daily life there is
no substitute tor the charm, of simplicity.

Just one wegk aifoir jhafr bight bfadveii

Qn the first morning! of the New Year*;
I arose from my couch and went tp 'mj
window to learn the;|oabso oflfie lofid
laughter which had fotised: jpe frofo iny :
slumbers. I beheld a number of strident
near the corner of the building talking
very earnestly and laughing as if their
sides would split I wasat a loss to con
jecture the pause of Btfoh merriment,at so
unusual an ihour. I bunded out to die*
cover the . cause, It wan a disagreeable
morning—snowing, sfoeting and raining
alternately. In going round to the corner
where the crowd bad assembled, I looked
tip, and I caught the mania for laughing
too. A rope was stretched from the top
of the College to that tif itho Preparatory
Department, a pf about fifteen
paces, and in the middip of yriuch rope a
suit of clothes stuffed, having the - appear
ance and the size of a man, was suspended
by the neck, looking much like a man
strangled to death, A'huge placard,
placed upon the most prominent part of
his breeches,, bore, the following inscrip
tion) which told the story too palpable to
be doubted: “ StispENtißb peom the Is
-BTXTUTION !” As I glaifocd .it for -a
moment* I suspected tlite perpetrator to bo
Harry Noble, who, xc«a suspended ftom :
the institution a few weeks before, but in
a different way. After enjoying the sight
awhile, thp crowd dispersed. At break
fast that morning one of the students told
the old lady of the boarding-house that
one of their number had committed sui
cide at the College the 1 night before, by
hanging. “Is it possible!" she exclaim
ed.- “ Tes,” said .the student, “it is too
true; just come fiere, you can sec him
hanging yet." She looked toward the
College and saw what; she was sure was
the studept hanging by the neck-dead.
“ W®!?/’ convulsively sighed the old lady,
“ I always said tliat the students out there
would do something desperate some time I"
The man who was .“ sufepended," di l not
remain in that.condition’as long as Harry
did, but only until that evening, when he
was cut down by the Janitbr, * *
One evening, while pprihg over Orid's
Metamorphoses, and trying to translate
the lesson,in.which is fabled to
have been rc-peopledby human beings
formed from stones, I involuntarily thought
that if stones were than transformed into
men, men were now ofteft transformed into
stones. I did not tliinkt|uit I should Inive
an exemplification of that, fact so soon,
however faint the. example. I heard a
loud rap at my door. I Opened it and mV
classmate, Abel Dixon, entered. How
are you on the lady question ?” inquired
he, for he was very fond of talking about
the fair sex. I replied that I had not
time to think upon the, subject much, and
as his question included much in it in
volving many phases of the subject,; I
could not . fell him. \Ve had a lengthy
debate there concerning the students in
certain stages of their progress in study
associating with the ladies, hut it js hot
necessary to jay present, purpose to give
the' substance of what Was said j I only
wish to give the inciden with a
few of the immediately con

result pf Jihel, visit (to my r&>mi!
"Let us have a little ifrinwith some of
the ladfos, as they can’t iselo us and won’t
know who we are ”. eagerly said Abel.
" Name the kind of fun,f’ replied I ; "and
if I can assist yon honorably and consists
cntly, with the high regard I Have for the
fair sex, I will do so/’ " You must
said he as he straightened himself in the
chair to give me the
tions. “ Do ypn know tpe names of ally
ladies who live |n your town 7” he inquir
ed. " Certainly,” I answered. "Give
me the Marne of otoe/’ he. I gave
him Sadie Hardin's najue.i I told him
that sjbe was a very beautiful, lady, and

attempt anything disreputable to that ac

tainly would resent the insult in some way
if ; .shp; thought it was offered by one who
merited notice all. 1 " Oh,” said A pel,
" nothnig dishonorable will be attempted j
I will ateome pure motives and make an
open, frank avowal of my feelings.”—

dfrliM inquiries. “I only want to dad"
oat what she will say,” continued Abel,
“and perhaps I can judge from the tone
of her answer whether she would scruple
to take my imaginary Sallie Hardin’s
WIGS and to receive my addresses.” I
fbujtd from this that ho had never heard
her name before and was going to try to
her out.” I was anxious also to
know what would be the result in attempt
mg such a thing with Sallie. So he went'
to work and in a short time produced just
about its loving a letter as I had ever seen. ’

answer from Sallie, when he began to think
that he had spent six cents for which he
would never get an equivalent. At length,
however, after the lapse, of about toft days’
Uie answer came. Abel had been at the
Post-office, had lifted the letter, aitd with
out opening it, started for College. ! He
