WOMAN, BY WILLIAM LEGGETT. No star in yonder sky that shines Can light like woman’s eye impart-; • The earth holds not in 'all its mines A gem bo rich as woman’s heart; Her voice is like the music sweet Poured out from airy help alone; Like that,' when storms more'loudly beat, It yields a clearer richer tone. And woman’s love’s a holy light, That brighter, brighter burns for aye; Years cannot dim its radiance bright, 'Nor even falsehood quench its rayß; But like the Star of Bethlehem Of old to Israel’s sheperds given, It marshals with its steady flame, The erring soul of man to Heaven. THE CHAMPION. A ROMANTIC INCIDENT IN SPANISH HIS TORY. The dang of the arms and the inspiring sounds ol martial music resounded through the court yard of the palace of Navarre. The chivalry of Arra gon, Castile and Navarre had assembled at the summons of their sovereign, to fight under his ban ner against the infidels, and now waited impatiently for the moment when the monarch should mount his gallant steed. Sancho the Fourth was at that moment holding farewell to his Queen,, thie.'gentle Dona Nuna, who clung to her lord in an agony of tears. “Be comforted my beloved,” he Eaid to her;.“l shall return to you with added laurels to my king ly wreath, i 'Do not lear for me; nor let your sweet face grow pale by brooding over the dangers and chances of war. For my I never felt more exulting anticipations of success, and am persua ded that triumph and victory will crown our un dertaking.” “Alas! it is not.so with me,” said Nuna, sadly. " A presentiment of approaching evil weighs heav ily on my heart.” “ You shuddfr at the thought of our separation, Nuna, more like a timid young bride parting from hereiewly wedded lord, than a matron who has shared her husband’s and sorrows for well nigh twenty years.” “ You are now far dearer to me, Sancho, than when I gave you my hand. Have I not to thank you for the love and' tenderness have made these long years of wedded life so blissful anil happy?” ’ “ in sooth, I believe, Nuna, it is even so, and you love me as warmly as ever. Receive my assuran ces in return dear wife, that your face is as fair to me, and the gut of your true heart as fondly prized, as when I led you to these halls, my youthful and beautiful bride. But suffer me to bid you farewell or my nobles will wax impatient. I leave you to the society of our son, and the guardianship of my trusty Pedro Sese, who will attend to your behests. One word more. I trust to your safe keeping mv beautiful steed, Ilderim. You know how I value that noble animal, my first capture from the Moors* See that he is carefully tended in my absence; I shall accept it as a proof of your regard for my wishes. And now, adieu; dearest wife. Think ol me and supplicate Heaven that I may be speedily and safely restored to your arms.” So saying, Sancho the Great, tenderly embraced his wife, and mounting his war charger, placed; himselt at the head of his gallant army. The clat ter of horses’ hoofs soon died away in the distance, leaving, the court yard’of the castle in silence and „gloora. Three days after the king’s departure, the young Don Garcia entered the court yard of the palace at Navarre. “ Pedro Sese 1” he cried, “ my noble Arab El To ro lies dead in the cleft of the rocks. I have re turned to seek another' Bteed for thi chase ; such a hunt has not been among the forests of Navarre since the Pyrenees, echoed to the horn of Roland ; give me forth black Ilderim, Pedro, my friend ; saddle me my father’s charger, for there is no other steed in the kitig's stables worthy of the hunt of to-day !” •• Don Garcia,” replied, the master of the horse, “ black Ilderim is only for the king’s mounting, I dare not saddle him for any other.” “ But the Inlante commands it-r-the king that is to be.” „ “Chafe not with a faithful servant, Don Garcia; it is but yesterday I refused the. same request to the bastard ot Arragon.” “ What! daresf thou compare me with the base born Ramie? Insolent? I shall bear my complaint to the queen. .' To the queen Don . Garcia bore his complaint and his petition : “ Oh, my mother, wouldst thou see me dishonored by the menial? Am I not thine only son, the rightful heir of Arragon, Castile and Navarre? who may command here, if I may not? Assert my authority, then, and order the false Pe dro Sese that he give me forth the black Ilderim*” “ Pedro Sese has faithfully discharged his duty to my lord the king, who enjoined on him and on me the safe keeping of his horse,” said Dona Nuna.— “The royal stables are open ; take, my son, any other steed, but leave black Ilderim till thy father returns.” “ Nay, by .Heaven, and by the saints, I will have black Ilderim to ride this day or I will have ven .geance.” The headstrong youth returned to the court yard, and again demanded the steed; again the master ot the horse refused. Don Garcia, pale with concen trated rage, sprang on another of the king’s'charg ars, and galloped from the place. Instead, however, of returning to the hupt, he urged his .horse into the despoblado , or open plain lying to the south of the castle, and disappeared on the road to ‘Burgos. Time passed heavily in her lord’s absence, with the gentle Nuna. At first, she received frequent and joyful tidings of the success which crowned his arms, and hi* brilliant victories gained by his forces over the Moslem army. Of late, and since the departure of Garda from the castle, Sancho’s affectionate despatches had altogether ceased; and Nuna, now thorougly wretched, from the wayward perversity of her son, and from uncertainty as to her husband’s late, had prepared to rejoin him at any risk, and share the perils to which -he might be exposed. Her resolution was no sooner formed than it was promptly carried into effect: she summoned to her aid the trusty Pedro Sese-; and protected by a small escort under his command, bade adieu to Navarre, and commenced her long and perilous journey to ward the theatre of war. The. cavalcade had reached Najarra, when to their surprise and joy,, they beheld a gallant band of horsemen rapidly approaching; the united ban ner of Arragon, Castile and Navarre, floating proud ly before them, announced to all beholders that Sancho the fourth led his knights in.person. . Nuna’s heart .beat rest and tumultuously;in a few moments, and the long absent one would clasp her closely to his breast. She looked up to the master of the horse who rode by her side, and urged him to increased speed. They moved briskly forward ; and the advancing knights, who formed the King’s body guard became more distinctly vis ible. Sancho, as we have said, headed them'; But 68 soon as they had arrived within a short distance of the Queen’s followers, the monarch advanced a few paces, and. in tones of thunder'called on them to halt. His brow was darkened with evil passions, his countenance flushed with anger.” ••On the peril of your allegiane! he shouted, rather than spoke, “ seize the traitress, I command ye! My heart refused to hearken to the tale of; bei, guilt, even when spoken by the lips of her son ’Hut mine eyes have seen it. I have jlivetl —wretched that I am—to witness ber infamy- But the adul-. teress, and the companion of her-; crime, shall not escape thp righteous vengeance. See to it, that the Queen and Pedro Sese remain your prisoners,” If a thunderbolt had'fallen at. the feet of the miserable Nuna, she could not have been more horror struck, or more 'confounded. Her life long dream'qf happiness was dissipated;; the husband of her youth, had recoiled from' her as-from the veri est reptile that crawls on*the face ■ faf God s earth ; and the worker of her Woe and ruin was her own child—her own flesh and own blood—her son Gar cia ! Who would believe her to be pure and inno cent, when such lips pronounced the tale of her guilt? Unhappy wife;still more unhappy mother! In the deepest dungeon of the castle of Fajarra she was left to mourn over her uhparalleled mise ry. Alone, unfriended and solitary, Nuna—who so lately had seen herself a loved and cherished wife, a fond mother, and a -mighty sovereign— struggeld with her bitter and mournful reflections. She could not approach her husband, for she lelt that his ear had been poisoned against her by.an accuser he could scarcely mistrust; even by the in sinations of her son, confirmed—as he deemed them* to be—by the evidence of his senses, when he met her so unexpected travelling under the es cort of. Pedro Sese. But short space was left to Nuna for these ago nizing thoughts. Death, a shameful death, was the punishment of the adultress, bht Sancho, more merciful than she had hope, had granted her one loop hole for escape—one slender chance of proving her innocence. The lists were to be open to any champion believing in the lady s guilt lessness, yho should adventure his life in her de fence. If any such should proffer his services he might do battle in single combat with her accuser. God—according to the belief of those days—would give victory to him who maintained the truth. The fatal day approached, arrived, and had well nigh passed. Garcia, unopposed, bestrode bis w*ar steed, the redoubtable black Ilderim, whose pos session he had so eagerly coveted, and purchased at so fearful a price. The discrowned queen, in conformity with custom', was- placed within sight of the arena, tied to a stage, surmounting what would be her funeral pile if no champion appeared on her behalf, or if her defender should suffer de feat. ; £ Who can paint the agitation of Dona Nuna thus placed within view of the'lists, when'the .precious hours passed, one by onej'and no champi on stood forth in defence of her purity and truth? She was about to Tesign herself hopelessly to her inexorable fate, when the sound of a horses tramp was heard, approaching- at a rapid pace; and a knight, in complete armor, mounted on a charger, whose foaming mouth and reeking 6ides told that, he had been ridden at a fearful pace, dashed into the lists, flung down his gauntleriof defiance, and announced that he had come to do battle in behalf of the falsely accused, but stainless and guiltless Queen. | There was an involuntry movement among the assembled multitude when Garcia prepared for the terrible encounter. None knew or could guess, who the knight might be. No devise nor emblem, by which his identity could be discovered, could be traced on his hemlet or on his; shield, but tbe ease with which he surmounted his steed, and his graceful and gallant bearing evinced that he was an accomplished w*arrior. j In a few' seconds the preliminary arrangements w'ere complete; apd. with lances in rest, the oppo nents approached. In the first encounter, to the amazement of all, Garcia was unhorsed, and fell heavily to tbe ground. “She is innocent! She is innocent!” shouted the multitude. , “God be praised ! trough I have lost a son,” was the subdued ejaculation of the king. “I am prepared, in the defence of the -much in jured lady, to do combat to death” said the stran ger knight. “Base and dastardly; villain 1 confess thy unnatural crime or meef me once more when I swear I will not let thee escape so slightly.” Garcia hesitated; he was evidently torn by con flicting emotions. Concious guilt—fear ol the just retribution of Heaven, executed by the stranger’s avenging sword—urged him to confess his villainy. On the other hand, apprehension of the execrations of the .multitude, and the indignations of his injured parents, restrained him from making a frank avowal of his crime. ‘‘Remount, miscreant! and make ready for an other encounter, .or confess that you have lied in your throat,” exclaimed the stranger sternly. Before ia could reply, an aged and vener able ecclesiastic threw himself before the opponents. “In the name of Heaven | I command ye to with hold from this unnatural strife,” he exclaimed ad dressing them; “brothers are ye ;i the blood of a common fa’her flows in your'veins, Ramiro—for bear. Garcia—the combat this day has testified to your guilt; make the only atonement in your pow er, by a full confession.” j ' “Ejaculations of .astonishment jand pity burst from all the spectators. “Long live the noble bas tard! The base born has made the well-born!— The step-son has proved the true son! Praise be to the Virgin, the mother of the j people has not been left without a godson to fight for her!” And all matrons, and many even of the hardened war riors among the multitude wept j with tenderness and joy. j _ In a few moments the agitated queen found her self in her husband’s arms. He implored her for giveness for the sorrow'she had endured, nor could she withhold it,-even for a moment, when she list ened to the' avowals of the degraded Garcia, who confessed how, step by step, he had poisoned his fa thers mind by tales of her infidelity, in revenge for her refusal, and that of Pedro; Sese, to entrust him with-Sancho’s favorite charger, black Ilderim. Nuna turned from her abject son, and motioned her young champion to approach.! He knelt at her feet. ! “Ramiro,” she softly said, as she unclasped the hemlet and Visor which concealed the handsome features of Sancho’s illegitimate son, “child of my affection, for whom I have always-felt a mothe’s love, though I have not borne for ;thee a mother’s pain, how shall I thank thee? . Thou hast this "day more than repaid tne tenderness I lavished on thy inlant years. Thou dear my fair fame to all men; even at the risk of thy own young life.” ’ “I would lay down life itself-for such a friend as you have been, and esteem the sacrifice light,” re joined Ramiro, with deep emotion. “I remember my childish days—before yo,u came to Navarre, a bright, happy, innocent bride—when I wandered through my father’s palace an unloved and neglec ted boy, and I can recall vividly the moment when you first encountered me, and struck by the resem blance -I bore to the king, surmised the truih. Instead of haling me with the unjust aversion of an ungenerous nature, yoq took the despised child to W>ur heart, and, for the love you j bore your lord, Mu cherished his base-born son. : For the genial atmosphere you breathed around me, and in which my affections expanded, and for tHe care you have bestowed on my education,*'l owe you a debt of gratitude far deeper than ever child bore bis own mother. Nature dictates maternal love, in the one instance—but it it is, to the suggestions of a noble and generous heart that I have been indebted for the happiness of my life. You owe me no thanks —for such a friend no sacrifice can be too great.” Nuna ttfrned to the king, and taking his hand in hers, placed it on the head of her young champion. “I have brought you kingdoms as-my dower,’’ said Bhe, but I have not, also! brought you a son so worthy as Ramiro of being their ruler. I ireely torgtve the Jnfante the suffering he has caused me, and hope that with advancing years he will culti vate the virtues in which he has shown himself to be deficient. But Ramiro has already given; evi dence of the possession of tboke exalted quali ties which insure the happiness of a people when possessed by the rulers. Invest him, then, at my entreaty, with the crown of Arragon; receivelback to your confidence our faithful Pedro Sese, and suf fer me to forget my past griefs in the anticipation of a love^ which shall never again be interrupted.” The king raised his hand in assent; and tlje as sembled multitude confirmed the investure, with one mighty shout—Ramiro 1 Ramiro! Long live Ramiro ! l Infante of Arragon!” Chop. —The prospects of the cot ton crops throughout almost the; entire South, are saichto be remarkably promising.

Jackson from his earliest infancy had a great respect and veneration for Ministers of the Gospel. The following anecdotes are illustrations of that feeling: The Hon. and Rev. ******* *****, of Illinois, who, as a Baptist preacher and Lieutenant Gover nor, had at one and the same time been in the service of the Lord and of the State of Illinois, be coming dissatisfied with the honors or profits, or both, of the posts he held,determined to resign them, and devote his time and talents to the assistance of tbe administration in carrying on the General Gov ernment of the country. Accordingly, he came to Washington, and laid his case before the President. He stated his pretensions and his wishes, narrated at some length all the prominent events of his po litical life, dwelling especially upon his untiring devotion to-the Democratic party, the sacrifices he had submitted to,’ the exertions he had made in its its consequent indebtedness to him, but said not a word of what he had done for the cause of religion. Gen. Jackson heard the clerical aspirant through in silence, and after musing lor a moment, put the following question to him: “Mr. K., are you not a minister of the Gospel?” “I am sir,” was the re ply. “Then, sir,” said the General, with his usual quiet dignity, “you hold already a higher office than any in my*gift—an office whose sacred duties, to be properly performed, require your whole attention; and really I think the best that I can do for you, will be to leave you at liberty to devote your whole time to them; for, from what you tell me, I fear that hitherto*they have been somewhat neglected.” When Mt. Buchanan was.appointed Minister to Russia, Gen. Jackson senrfor him to ascertaiu if he had any one in his eye as a suitable person for Secretary of Legation. Mr. Buchanan informed the General that h e bad not. The General thereupon mentioned the name of a young gentleman, who he said was very solicitous for the appointment, and had been strongly recommended by his friends, and that he was determined to appoint him. On the next day, which was Sunday, the General, as was .his custom, attended divine worship at the Pre=by terian church, and in the evening he visited tbe Methodist chapel. The regular Minister was not present, and the pulpit was filled by one of those old fashioned Methodist preachers, who although uned ucated, spoke directly to the heart. The General was deeply affected by the simple manner and touching 1 appeals of the old divine. Next morning the young man, who was anxiously awaiting an appointment, called on the old General, and by way of ingratiating himself into his favor, commenced a tirade of abuse against the ignorant and uneduoa ted preacher, saying such men were a disgrace to the pulpit, and ought not to be permitted to speak in public of sacred things. The General soon managed to get rid of this young office seeker. In thb eve ning Mr. Buchanan, who was on the eve of depart ing on his mission, called on the President to know if he had sent the name of the Secretary to the Sen ate for confirmation. The General answered “no, 1 will not- appoint young Mr. He is no judge of preaching—is not jit for the office , and I xcill not trust him” Another was selected, and the young ster who was no judge of preaching afterwards turned out to be a very bad man.—lndiana Sentinel. The Two Tariff's. On the subject of the superior productiveness of the tariff of ’46 over that of ’42, the New York correspondent of the Washington Union gives the following: - ° , , . When we regard the operations of the presen 1 tariff, in connection with its avowed object, as pure ly a revenue tariff, we become struck w’ith the singular success which has attended it. There never was in the history of our government, a tariff which yielded in four years anything like the amount of revenue which has been derived from this. When the government, in 1842, was much embarrassed for means, the tariff of that year was voted for by the late Silas Wright on'the ground of revenue only—a departure from principles of sound economy which subsequent events have il lustrated. That tariff remained in operation four years, and the same period has now elapsed under the operation ot the present one. The amount of money derived from each by the federal govern ment has been as follows: Customs revenue of the Federal Government. Tariff of 1842. . Tariff of 1846. 1843 $10,208,000 1847 $23,746,864 1844 29,436,357 1848 31,757,071 1845 30,952,416 1849 28,346,738 1846 26,712,668 1850 39,500,736 Total, $97,309,441 Total, $123,352,049 The present tariff has yielded over twenty-six millions, or 25 per ceifL more money than did the old one in the same time. The sneers and ridicule with which the “revenue” tariff was ushered into existence are still fresh in the memory of its friends and they aife content with the mortification which its enemies suffer on that score. But perhaps the most gratifying evidence of its soundness, as well as the eminent ability with which its operation was regulated at first, is its absolute Jreedom from fraud , notwithstanding the rates of duty which it still permits on many descriptions of imports. The complete evidence of this freedom from fraud ex ists, indfependently of the fact of its such large returns, in the letter addressed to the Presi» dent of the Senate on the 26th September by Mr, Thomas Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury. The Cotton Crop and Cot row Goods.— A gen tleman of Cannelton, Indiana, who is stated by the Dry Goods Reporter to be probably better posted than any other man in the Western country, writes, under date of June 12-* ‘ The planters of .cotton on the Mississippi river are now on their way to their summer residences, and bring us intelligence from cohon districts be low, of the large promise of the next crop. Thus far the season, has been very favorable, and al though an overflow is expected, you may look for a crop of three millions of bales in 1851-2, and a fall "of prices down to 5 cents for middling cotton. Now, if our surplus goods can, at 6 cents the yard, be thrown on foreign markets, we are likely to get a pound of cotton lor a yard of No. 14 cloth. This exchange, as is said, will satisfy the manufacturer. The present relative prices ol goods and material are not the most encouraging to our cotton mill owners here. But our cotton does not cost us as much By. from one to two cents a pound, as it costs at Lowell, and we are paying only Lowell prices to our operatives. ' „ , TUESDAY MOIIWNG. JULY 8, 1851. The Cash System. The evils of the credit,system, in minor business transactions, are the experience of almost every one. The remarks below, from the “American Mechanic,” apply as weir to most kinds of business, as to publishing “With publishers of newspapers, in common, with business men generally, the cash system -is preferable to any other ; to publishers, who rely or nearly so, upon their subscription list for support for the prosecution of their business, it is indispen sable. Such a thing as newspaper credit should have no existence anywhere. Nothing is gained by it, either by the proprietor or subscriber, but the former must necessarily be the loser. There are thousands of upright, well meaning men, who subscribe for newspapers and who intend to pay for them, but the idea of writing a letter to the editor, enclosing two dollars, never entered their heads—though if called upon Tor the amount due, they would probably be prepared to meet the de mand. “Bat the publisher of almost every country newspaper knows it would be out of the question for him to employ collectors out of tbe profits of his suberiptions ; so ®any of his patrons con inue year after year taking the paper without advan cing a cent, while he is paying cash for his printing materials, cash for his paper and labor, and every thing necessary to carry on business. Here, then is a loss—not attributable to any design on the part of the subscriber to defraud, but the legitimate fruit of a worse than worthlesss system. They would pay, if waited upon; but the printer cannot afford to spend five dollars for collecting three, and never gets his pay. “ Again—Mr. A. has the paper sent to his ad dress four or five years; his bill by this time amounts to ten dollars; he dies, or runs away, or perhaps becomes bankrupt; here is another * profit and loss * account for the printer. “ Mr. B. also, who lives some five hundred miles distant, has had the paper mailed to him three years without making payment, when suddenly the postmaster in his village addresses the editor thus: ‘Sir—Your paper addressed to M. B is not taken out of the office. Reason—gone to California.’ [ “Aside from cases of this kind, there are jn every community numbers of veiy ‘ liberal minded men,’ who are particularly anxious for the success of everything of a literary character, and who, by way of encouraging the enterprise, are always ready to enter their names on the subscription book, bu£*never think of paying.” The Presidency* The Editor of the Lycoming Gazette , Mr. Eld bed, one. oftour best political writers, says of Mr. Bcchakaw, in a late letter from Harrisburg: In regard to the Presidency, allow me to say, that while all agree in the policy of postponing the agitation ol the subject until after the next election, it would be folly to attempt concealing the fact, that out of the one hundred and thirty three dele gates to the Judicial Convention, not more than thirty-three were unfavorable to the nomination of James Buchanan. Indeed, so overwhelming is public sentiment in his favor, that I shall confess mysell surprised if a single delegate appears op posed to him in tbe next 4th of March convention. Pennsylvania seems determined to press her claim and her favorite, but in doing so, she will not de tract from the well merited laurels of the great men of other States. 'Gen. Cass will retain his place in the affections ol the democracy —Gen. Houston will be remembered with as lively- an in terest—the military glory of Gen. Batler will be cherished as now, and Judge Douglass, the‘ bright political star” of the west, will only go down to rise again with renewed splendor. But I must close, or the mail will, before this reaches.the post office. Yours in haste, C. D. E. Floux Packing. —lt has, we believe, been a disputable question among millers for many years, whether the quality of flour is affected by the man ner of putting it up, or whether flour closely packed will keep from souring as long as ifloosely packed. The question is one of considerable importance to millers and dealers, as the annual losses caused by flour souring are heavy. The following particulars of an experiment made in Cincinnati will therefore be ot interest: In May 1841, ten years ago, Mr. A. E. Arm strong who was then and is still Flour Inspector, took a tight half barrel and filled it loosely with flour, and put it away in a place possessing no other than ordinary advantages of. a warehouse.. Mr. A. examined the flour about twice a year, and he informed us that the article did not undergo any change until the fifth year, when it became some what rancid, and it did not sour until the ninth year. At the end of the fourth year it was in per fect order. A sample of the article was exhibited on-Cbange, on Saturday last, and there was nothing peculiar in the appearance, smell or taste, except that it was a little sour and rancid. The experiment has satisfied Mr. Armstrong that flour loosely packed would be preserved in good order, much longer than that put up in the ordinary manner. This 19 certainly a matter well worthy the attention of millers. , Nature and Art, In all their various combinations cannot possibly be more attractive y than F.
