It is a common practice with those
who have outlived tbe susceptibility of
early feeling or have been brought up in
the gray beartlessuess of dissipated life,
to laugh at all love a tor lea, and to treat
the tales of romantic passion as mere flo
tious of novelists and poets—my .obser
vations on human nature have Induced
me to think otherwise. They: have con
vinced me, that: howevor tbe surface of
the character may he old I led and frozen
by the cares of the World, or Cultivated
into mere smiles by fthe arts of society,
still there are dormant fires lurking in
■ the depths of. the coldest bossom. which;
when once enkindled, pecotne impetu
oks, and are.'. shhieti'meH desolating In
their effects. Indeed,;! am a true believ
er in lhe bill'd >lelty, and go In the lull

ipaslbility of dying ol disappoint d love.
I do not, however, consider it a- malady
Sifteu fatal to my. own sex, but 1 tininy
believe that it withers down many a love
ly wouiuu Into aueurly.eruve.
, Man is u creature ol interest mul am
bition. His nature leads him foil, i iu
the struggle and bustle.of (he worid.—
hovels but the embellishment of,-Ids
early life, or a song piped iu the inter
vals of the different ucta.-He seeks fur
fame, for fortune, furspacediTthe world's,
thdugbt and dominion overhls' fellow
men. But a woman's whole life is a his
tory oi aOecilous.' The heart is her
world; it Is there her ambition strives
for empire: it In Lliei© her avarice seeks
for bidden treasures' - hhe sends forth
bin sympatblcaou a lventure; .be em
barks Iter whole soul in the traffic of af
fection ; undlf.ahlpwrecked, her case la
hopeless—ftp;; If is ‘ bankruptcy of the
heart. ’■
To a man the disappointment' of love
may occasion Tjeomß bitter pangs; It
wouhilu some feelings iif tenderness—it
biasts, some prospects of felicity ; but he
is an active being—lie may dissipate- bis
thoughts in the whirl oi varied occupa
tion, or may plunge into the tide of pleas

be too fiill of painful associations,’ lie can
shift bis abode at will, anil taking as it
were the wings of the morning, caii “fly
to the uttermost parts of the earth, and

But woman’s is comparatively a fixed,
secluded and meditative life. She .is
more tbecumpaniohof her own thoughts
add feelings; and If they are-turned to
ministers ol sorrow, whereshall she look
tor coußolatiou ? Her lot is.to'be’ wooed
and won ; and, if Unhappy in her love,
> bef heart is'like some 'Jortress that baa
been captured and saoked; Und abandon

were paid her by families of.wealth and
distinction. She- was led into society,
and they tried by all klbds of occupation
and aniusemeutto dissipate her grief, and
wean her from the tragical story of her
lover. But lt;Was all in vain. There' are,
some strokes of calamity which- scathe
add scorch the soul—which penetrate t>
the vital seat Of happiness—and blast it,
never agatnrtb put forth bud or blossom.
She never objected to frequent the haunts
of nleaaure. bdt was as much alone there
us in tbe depths of solitude walking
about ln sad reverie, apparently ‘udepn:
acinus of.the world around her. > She car
ried with her an inward Voe that mocked
at all the blandiahmenla of-friendship,
and "heeded'uotthe song ofthecharmer,
charm he noTersO wisely."
Thepersou who told me her. story had
seen her at a masquerade. There can be
no exhibition of far gone wretchedness
more striking and, painly than to must it
iu such a scene, Tdrflnd' it 1 wandering
like spectre, lonely autj.joyless; where
nil around is gay—to see it dfesSed out id
Mi«», trappings of mirth,' and 'looking so

A Ride U'Wi Jeff, ; Davit Up the Mittlttippi—Rbw
•Re Looked and li'Aai Re Satd—Rin ■ Atteped
Oomplietlp in the Attaulnatlon of Fretidenl
Lincoln.
To the Editor of tho Cincinnati Commcr-
dal
A ride from New Orleans up the Mis
sissippi In that roydl craft, the Great Be
publio, gave tne an opportunity of be
coming acquainted with Jefferson Davis.
Be came aboard at Vicksburg, and pro
ceededas far as Memphis, and Iu conse
quence of (be leakage of otae of the boil
era and a delay at the mouth of White
River, the. journey was prolonged - lor
four days, V , ,
At Greenville, Mississippi, where the
boat arrived on Sunday lust, the news
spread that. "President Davis” was on
,boardf.aud'a crowd of nearly one hun
dred persons,eagerly rushed to the cabin
to have a look, or more fortunately, to
get d shake of tbe handfrom their for
mer cbleltalu Thesame thjug was re
peated wbeu.the bout stopped at Helena,
Arkansas. It was noticeable that many
colored persons displayed ns much inter-,
est and enthusiasm as the white people,
and seemed,equally gratified to get a lew
kindly words irom the man about whom
snob extraordinary associations cluster
ed. .
I bad . not before seen Davis I had
pictured him as tall, bony and cadaver
ous. All the engravings and photo
graphs given to the public make these
characteristics more prominent than his
real appearance Justifies. His height is
a little, if any, above tbe average. His
face is well shaped, with regular features, -
Ills nose being --ueillier so prominent,
nor bo emphasized uK<-man, as Is usually
conveyed by bis photographs. The low
er pari of bis face is small, not indicating
tue pushing, aggressiveor bulHlke quali-
ties often noticeable in the contestants
of tbe political arena, but, on the contra*
ry, indicuting a delicate organization,.an
amiable disposition and general culture*
It is not h fact expressive of genius or
greatness. His eyes are blue, and, not
withstanding that tbe left eye is defec
tive, and almost visionless, add to the
mildness of his face.. His hair is quite
grey, as are bis thin whiskers and beard,
and hiii mustache, which is exceedingly
sliorc, is almost white. r
The tones of bis voice are plSosunt, and
hla speech is de the rate and measured—a
quality seldom possessed by one who is
uota natural or trained orator. In t-ome
important respects,, especially;. in the
tones ol bis voice and bis manner ,of
speech, be Is almost-a counterpart of*
Judge Leavitt, of this city, save that he
is fully ten years younger than the Judge.
Davis’s manner is exceedingly quiet and
unobtrusive. He does not appear to seek
notoriety, tut rather to avoid it. and the
attemlone'puid him were received In as
undemonstrative a way as they might be
were be sfmp[y a well-bred country gen
tleman, instead of having been the politi
cal head abd frobt of the most memora
ble civil couvulalonthe world bus yet
witnessed. He is a man whom accident
has forced Into a position of factitious
prominence. 1 The quality that makes
and marks a leader among men, some
times called “personally,’' “individuali
ty,” ‘'character,that something which
Impresses the mind into the mood of bis
mind, and' carries you along with him,,
this Davis dbes not possess.
Davis's health has greatly improved
since his release from confinement. His
friends who saw him during the trou
bled and .anxious times of loutf, IBtj3 and
jhiu, expressed their surprise ami grati
fication at the market improvement in
his appearance and general health*.
DAVIS AND THE ASSASSINATION PLOT
The four days’ travel on board the
Great Kepub lu gave me the opportunity
of inquiring of Davis about certain mat
ters connected with the rebellion of winch
the true'history has yet to be wriuen;
and not least among them, his alleged
complicity in the plot to assassinate
■President Lincoln. Davis said that,
owing to the closeness of his confinement
at Fortress Monroe, and his subsequent
travels, he hud not even read whui had
been alleged against him.
The testimony sworn to at the trial of
the conspirators before the Military Com
mission at. Washington, and which ia
still credited by tens of thousands of poi
sons in the North, is, in brief us follows:
Testimony of Lewis F. Bates, a wit
ness for tbe prosecution, May 30; IWW, us
published in the official rep ri:

A Thrlllloff CxperlenM,
I A correspondent of the New York Re
| public writing from the “North Woods,"
I tells the fallowing story;
At the foot of the Lower Cedar, about
fifty yards from the shore, is a small and
low, rooky Island, not more .than thirty
feet In diameter, having a lew shrubs
growing upon It, with a single soriibhy
spruce aud a young mountain ash In the
centre, neither of which is twelve feet in
height. '
It was January.
John left bis home, some eighteen
miles away, taking a bag of provisions
and a few spring traps, to be absents
week or more, in pursuit of mink and
marten. It was an open season. Little
snow Was upon the ground, and .all the
lakes were unfrozen. John made his way
alone to the Lower Cedar lake, deposited
his provision bag in the log shanty, and
taking his boat and traps, rode over - to
the little island which hasjust been dee
crlbed,;, Running the. boat up on Tthe
rocks, be stepped out with a trap, and
went to the opposite side of the island, a
distance not.exceeding twenty-five feet,
carefully set his trap and returned to the
landing. >
What was bis dismay to find his boat
caught lightly upon a low rook about two
rods from the island.
Here was a serious nredlcament for the
incautious trapper. There was not a tree
uor a branch* by which be could reach
tbe boat. There were no withe nor bark
which, bein* tied together and attached
to a stone, could be thrown into the boat;
He had never learned to swim u. stroke.
Between him and the rock on which his
boat was stranded were the waters, dark,
cold, and ten feet deep. What was to. be
done?
John was- an iron-hearted man, but
while deliberating iu much agitation, hut
the added horrorof seeing the boutsway
ed first by the wind, thou grating harshly
upon, the rook,- at last disengaged, and
drifted slowly out into the middle of the
lake. The cose now seemed absolutely
hopeless.
As.the hunters and trappers frequently
go forth alone in the winter, and are ab
sent several weeks, his stay , would at
tract no attention at the settlement. No
human dweUiug was than sixteen
miles. Coi fronting, philosophically,
therefore, his alarming situation, he
scoured the island in search of fuel,
which resulted In. his finding a small
quantity of a substance resembling peat.
He now began the construction of a kind
of earthwork, iu semi-circular form, as a
protection against the wind. Gathering
enough of the peat to keep, his hands ami
feet irotn suffering, as the early darkness
drew on he wrapped himself in his coat
as closely us possible, and lay down lor
the night* Long, dreary, dreadful were
those hours, relieved by occasional

night of the 20th of last August. He did
not know at the time that the dog
was mad, Ha sought professional advice,
but was assured by the physician that be
was in no danger. The .scratches and
wounds healed quickly, and he thought
no more about the matter until last Tues
day night, when, after being Initiated, a
member of the Ashland lodge of Good
Templars, he experienced, on taking a
drink of water, a most singular and un
pleasant feeling in bis throat, but he soon
got over it. He was troubled wiih until

A Big Katkß.—A moat disgusting
exhibition was given in Boston last
week by a professional gormandizer,
Reynolds by name. Reynolds made >.
wager of ten dollars with Jerry Des
mond that he (Beynoids) lould eat
within an hodr all the smelts that Dea
mondcould catch In twelve hours. The
result of Desmond's fishing were nine- '
ty-four smelts, which he cooked, using
a pound of lard and an equal amount
of meal. The fish weighed when cook
ed, eight pounds. In forty-five min
utes alter Beynoids sat down to his din
ner the last fish' disappeared, and then
he offered to eat two pounds of beef
steak if any one would pay for it. No
body being willing to foot the bill, he
finished his meal on bread, and then
wanted to bet that he would sleep
twenty-tbreo houro'aday for two suc
cessive days. The. Boston papers are ,
