She couldn't help it ! 1'oor soul I
Nor could I !
It rained nil day, and all ntlit, all
the next day, and all the day before.
Three days ! I was walking from
plantation to town, near if aeon, I)i
irictof Bill Arp. I think it rained,
as usual. I mw her glide, from cabin
to cabin, from negro hoaso to aliode
of negro, liko a buby duck, much on
the waddle. She carried a little cadiag
in her one band, and on her other alio
held high towards the cerulean her
skirts and ull sieh. She was tnll
loveliness on Milts. I saw her from
thedistance he hud black stockings,
woro blue garters, and moved like n
doctor on a visit to his first patiout !
I hastened to overtake her. I slid
my umbrella over her waterfall. I
aeked her to excuse me, she did and
hitched crooks at onco. I was in my
clement. And in mud. The woman
was in white. Nlie was a blushing
daughter of Now England. Sho was
a gay damsel of many seasons. She
was polisher of Hams, she know much
about Hams. Sho was a sylph-like
educator of nigger-rooms. Shotuught
education to the ivorites she left the
white regions and friends of N e w Eng
land to come South and teach the
liams, the little Hams by day and the
Dig Iannis Dy uignt, as nlie continued
bur teuchings by lightwood fires in a
siark wood cabin. . r , .
I went home with her. She told
mo all. I could know no more. She
wqs a feminine Yankee. She wan tod
stamps. Home was nothing; she was
on the make. She had not character
sufficient to teach school in New Eng
land, sho wag not handsome enough
to go to New Orleans by sea and ride
happiness on the "Evening Star," so
she became a negro schooliat. As a
beauty she was not above par, nor
much else. As a school ist she was
not brilliant. Smoked glass was not
needed. As a lover of Hams, sho
was not severe, but when it came to
stamps, she woro her prcttyi all the
lime. Sho told me that her lather's
came was Stone. ' Her name was
Penman Stone. It was a Bible name
it meant li-ciovt Stone. She was
a Btone. Pcninah Stone.
Being from Home 1 was not' ac
countable, so I made lovo to her. We
wandered to hc.r abodo. We courted
till morning. Then I went with her
to school. Sho moved among the
Hams liko a silvor thimble in a drin-
pinir panful of breeches buttons. She
wasn t much of a catch, but better
than no catcb. Sho was one of the
sloutmindcd. Her early years wore
spent in chewing gum, weeding on ions,
pounding stone and such little amuse
ments,. incidental to cw England,
coupled with psalm-singing and pray
ing for damnation to rest upon all
who were sinners.
Pcninah was a sprightly sylph. She
could harness an ox, split rails, stick a
Log and do all manner of mien music.
We loved. It was a matter of
profit. Being a New Englander, she
had no heart. Simply a Stone. Hard
er than a brick, ily cherished one in
one volume as yet unopened and un
read. We walked about among the
cabins of bcr lambs. She was chief
engineer of a nigger teaching ahop,
and of a hair oil trunk. We mean
dered under the black jacks and honey
suckles. First she'd sling her arms
about my neck and kiss me, then she'd
kiss the little lambs.
Said I : "Peninah, sweet one, why
kisseth thou the littlo be thopiaus ."
Then she I it her eyes into mine
and said :
"The more wo kiss 'cm the more
hair oil, brass rings, photographs and
play-things we sell 'em !"
Ah, I see charming Peninah kihS
'em all around from cabin to cabin
Ham to Ham from infancy to old
gc and sell 'em gewgaws, for of such
is the kingdom of New England and
be tbopians are the profit.
And we sat on a mossy bank, watch
ing the little Hams basking in the sun
as they wallowed in the warmnth,
and thus twisted our love together.
Said my sweet Peninah :
"Ob, Brick, its nice 1 Let ns wed
and be happy. ' I'll support you; I'm
a Yankee schoolist, not handsome
enough to be ornamental, or I should
bave'gone farther south ; but I'm sov-;
eral on tho make. I'll make mutton
of the lambs in time. There's no need
' of us at borne. So I came here to
make my money. I kiss the little
Hams I pet 'cm and caresa 'em I
tell 'cm that the good Abraham was
their Saviour, that he sent me on
purpose ; that I love them so dearly ;
that they are, oh so sweet to mo, and
tbnt in a few years each of them, male
and female, shall be in Congress from
Massachusetts. And I pat their little
heads and kiss Ibcir lips, and sell them
primers and reader at five hundred
per cert profit, and I scll'em 'purthy

their lessons, and sells each of 'cm my

!ue clay grcatt for half a dollar a box,
nd manage to diddle the little Hams
out of all their stamps and to make
teachin' a biff business. Ain't I a nice
girl, dear, dear, gentle Brick ?"
And she kissed me again and again,
till I had a link of wool left on my
lips, when she with a smile pillowed
my ngile head upon bcr spiral indica
tor and then went on : "Oh it's nice

Tho following epistle from the la
mented Artomus Ward, has only been
reeonlly given to tho public :
I was sitting iu tho bar, quietly
smokin a frugal pio, when two mid-
aie-agca and stern looking females
anu a young and pretty female sud
denly entered tho room. They were
accompanied by two umbrcllcrs and
a negro gentleman. "Do you fool for
tho down-trodden ?" said one of tho
females, a thin faced and sharp voiced
person in green spectacles. "Do 1
feel for it .'" answered the landlord ;
in a puzzled voice "Do I feel fori If"
"Yes : for tho oppressed, tho beuited V
"In as much as to which f" auid tho
landlord. "You see this man?" said
tho female pintin her umbrellor at the
negro gentleman. "Yes, marra, I seo
hiio." "Yes !" said the lemulo, ruisin'
her voico to u exceeding high pitch,
"you seo bim, and he's your brother !"
"No, I'm darned if be is !" aaid the
landlord, hastily retreating to his beer
casks. "And yours:" shouted the
excited female, addreasin me. "He is
also your brother." "No, I think not
marm," I pleasantly replied. "Tbo
nearest wo come to that color in oar
family was in the case of my brother
John, lie had the janders fur several
years, but they finally left bim. Iam
happy to state that at the present
time he hasn't solitary juuder."
"Look at this man !" screamed tbo
female. I looked at him. Uewaaan
able-bodied, well dressed, comfortablo
looking negro. He looked as though
bo might heave three or four good
meals day into him without a mur
mur. "Look at that down-trodden
man!" cried tho female. "Who trod
on him f" I inquired. "Villins! des
pots I" "Well," said the landlord,
"why don't you go to the villins about
it ? Why do you como here, tellin us
niggers is our brothers, and brandiBhin
your umbrellera round like a lot of

aged female No. 2, who was a quieter
sort ot a person, "have you no senti
ment no poetry in your soul no
love for tho beautiful r Dost never
go into tho green fields to cull the
beautiful flowers?" "I not only dost,''
said the landlord, in an angry voice,
"but I'll bet you five pound you can't
bring a man ns dures say I duest."
"The littlo birds," continued the fe
male, "doent not lovo to gaxo onto

sung, casting a sweet glance at the
firetty young woman. "Doo't yon
ook that way at my dawtcr," said
fcmalo No. iy in a violent voico;
"you're old enough to bo her father."
'"'Twos an innocent look, dear mad
am," I softly said. "You behold in
me an emblem of innocence and purity.
In fact, I start for Homo by tho first
train to-morrow, to sit as a model to
the celebrated artist, who is about to
sculp a statute, to bo called Swoct
Innocence. Do you s'pose a sculptor
would send for me for that purpose
unless he know'd I was overflowing
withinnocency? Don't make an error
about me." "It is my opinyn," said
the lead in' female, "that you're a scof
fer and a wictch ! Your mind is in a
wusser beclouded state than the poor
negroes we are seeking to aid. You
are a groper in the dark cellar of sin.

"Yes he will," said the landlord, "if

said they were trying to raise-money

But I hap-

very sad fact. Some are really too

any necessity for workin. I was

Trial of the tr on Id-he .snM
of the Vxar.
Tho Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Timet gives the following details
of tho triul of Berecowski, the Inland
er, who attempted to shoot tho Csnr
of liussia, while riding in a carriage
with the .braporor JNapoleon, at Paris,
in ilay last :
The court was crowded soon after
tho doors wero opened. Thero were
no women prenont, but a great number
of Polish emigrants of the highest
class, and also a great number of public
functionaries. On- the table in front
of the judge was deposited the materinl
evidence of tho crime the pistol with
its broken barrel. There was also a
packet of books and pamphlets which
had formed the library of tho prisoner,
registers, ammunition, and a black
paletot found in a wine shop.
After tho jury woro balloted for,
the prisoner was brought in. Ho took
his seat on tho bench lor tho accused,
between two gendarmes. Ho pre
sented very youthful apneursnce.

vatio; msiorenead high, remarkably

He carried his right arm in a scarf of ty, through tho instrumentality of
black silk. On entering ho smiled at
bit advocate, II. E. Arago, conversed
with bim a few momenta, and then
saluted some persons of his acquaint
ance whom be saw in -court. After
the nsual preliminaries, the proceed
ingswero opened by tho presiding!
judge, M. Berthclin, ordering tho read-
ing of tho indictment, which was done
by ono of the clerks of tho court.
Tho prisoner had declared in answer
to the judgo's questions, that his namo
was Antonio Berczowtski, that ho was
twenty years old, that he was born at
Kotszysuy (Volhynia,) that he was a
mcchunis by profession, and that be
resided in tbo iUio Mercodul. In tho
coarse of bis examination by the judge,
he avowed his intention of killing tho
Czar whenever he had an opporluni-
2', and said ho had long contemplated
)ing so. Ho denied having commu
nicated his project to aoy ono.
In the courso of the examination
tho President asked :
"Do yon think you bitd a right to
kill a sovereign ? Yes sir, because he
has murdered my country ; becauso
with a stroke of the pen he has sent
into Siberia all the youth ot Poland,
and condemned aw hole people to exile
or to death.
"The jury will judge of your an
swer. But i ask of you, what would
happen if another breast bad received
the blow you aimod at tho Czar ?
Impossible. 1 bad no thought of kill
ing the Emperor ot the French.
"Bo it so; but you had no thought
of hitting the bead of the equerry's
horse ? No, sir.
"You aoo, thon, that a bullet is nev
er sure, and that the hand that air.s
it may miss. You did not reflect that
tho Emperor of France of France
from whom you receive hospitality, of
whom you have so justly spoken, was
exposed to danger. You did not re
flect that you might mako other vic
tims equally innocent ? All I could
say is, that I could not resist the im
perious voice of my heart."
Among tho witnesses called for the
defence was a former lieutenant-colonel
of tho Lancers of Volhynia. He
said that Bcreovrski, who hud sorvod
under bim during tho insurrection,
was ono of the best soldiers in bis reg
iment. Ho wnsainenabletodisciplino,
and was loved by his officers and com
rades lie bad takon great interest
in him, because he was tho youngest
of his soldiers, and ho was passion
ately attached to the cause of Poland.
When tbo insurrection was put down
ho wept "like a Christian who had
lost his mother." He exhorted him to
look out for employment of some kind.
Ho went to Liege, and was engaged
in a manufactory. Ho only know two
nations his own country, and another
which some times assisted them and
it was for that ho came to r ranco.
"All his acts," continued tbo colonel,
"all his studies converged to one idea
only the salvation ol lolund. 10
complete his education lie found moans
of saving lx.'if., out of wagos of 6f.,'a
day. Ho road with avidity all that
fell into his hands, "especially all that
was in conformity with his patriotic
sentiments." Another Polish officer
gave similar testimony. Tho direc
tor of the college, M. Uoinjon, whero
the prisoner had studied, spoke highly
of him. "He was," he said, "regular
in bis habits, docile, studious, sincere
ly religious, and an excellent comrade.'.'
The jury were twenty minutos in
considering their verdict.
On hearingtho sentence imprison
ment, at bard labor, for lilo tho pris
oner, whose countenance betrayed not
the slightest emotion, bowed and with
drew smiling.
It is said that bad Bcrezowski been
condemnod to death, the .Emperor
would have commuted tho sentence;
and that tho Czar, before leaving
Paris, had requested him to do so.

tho violation of this charter bus been

Even in those, barbarous ages, a
