$100 REWARD.
Ran away from the subscriber at Fairfax
Court House, Virginia, Tuesday, December 27,
1859, a mulatto man, calling himself Lewis
Lee, 28 or 30 years of age, about 5 feet high,
spare, but well built, active, quick in motion
and speech, and very polite in his manner.
Very light mulatto,- straight sandy hair, and
light grey eyes. I will give the above reward
for his apprehension and return, or if lodged
in jail,- so that I can get him again.
January 8,- 1860. N. B. W ATKINS.
RfiPIi Y.
Lewis Lee to N. B. Watkins. .
Ye have stolen all else from the African man,
But the color God gave, him to wear;
The South is now stealing that as fast as it can,
Infusing light color and hair.
If your grandsire stole mine from the African
coast,
And stole him to make him his' slave;
The right that gives you, sir, to me, is at most,
But the right of the robber and knave;
Or, if my father was your grandfather's sonj
And your father enslaved his half brother,
Am I your slave by the violence thus done,
To the chastity of my grandmother?
Can one-fourth of my blood a slave make1 of me,
One your courts bind you not to respect?
Still three-fourths of my blood declares I am
free,
And your claims to my service reject.
For as oft as one pound of my flesh you can
claim,
My right to three pounds is far better,
Just as good as your right to your body or name,
A God-gi'n right to the letter.
Now, Shylock, if you your one pound can get,
Without a drop of my blood, or give pain,
Your slave code would allow you to take it, and
yet,
My own right to myself I maintain.
You have advertised me, let me advertise you,
That "Jehovah no attribute hath,"
"Can side with oppressors." His justice is due,
And man-stealers inherit his wrath.
Lewis Lee.

To
tii:.t a woman like
The tpeakers,. Mrs. Gili and Mrs.
Dane two or ihe greatest scandal -mongers
o Lenteiih held their tongues and
exchanged gluiccs, as a young and
pleasant-faced lady tripped up the steps
of the store where they were talking.
She noticed theiu with a cool bow, for
Carrie Stanley knew their character well,
and despised them accordingly. But
they were not to be so easily put off with
their errand of mischief, and when she
emerged from the store, with her hands
full of mysterious little packages, she
found them waiting for her still.
Mrs. Dane, whose vinegar-like aspect
and sharp, shrewish voice were ten de
grees more unpleasant than ever, ad
dressed her first.
"My dear Mrs. Stanley, I have some
thing very important to say to you.
Won't you stop a moment?"
"Grant me patience" thought Carrie,
but she was too polite to say so, and
turning toward ' the speaker, said,
briefly
"Well, I am ready to hear it."
"Do you know where your husband
was last evening?" asked Mrs. Dane, with
a face of mysterious import.
"Yes, madam. He was at home at
tending to his own business," was the sar
castic reply.
"Wrong for once," chuckled the sa
gacious Mrs. Gill. "He was sitting in
Miss Hetherton's parlor till after ten
o'clock, and I presume there was more
going on than either you or I have any
idea of."
"That can hardly be possible, Mrs.
Gill." said Carrie, with a smile; "for my
husband and I have often wondered how
you and Mrs. Dane can find out every
thing that takes place here, even before
it is done. You must spend a great deal
of time in the search don't it ever tire
you?"
This speech was made with the most
exasperatingly innocent air imaginable.
But the shot took effect, and Mrs. Gill
muttered something indistiuctively, and
took refuge behind the slab-sided pro
portions ot Mrs. Dane.
"And so my husband is really getting
naughty," proceeded the blue-eyed Car
rie, turning to the other woman. "Dear
me, what is to be done, Mrs. Dane?"
"Doue?" snapped the weazen-faced
lady, with a savage shutting of her iee?h.
'Turn Miss Hetherton out of town ih it
is what ought to be unne."
"How very strange that you two ioilc
love each other so well,'" said Cavrie.

made Carrie laugh till she choked.
"I know it is rather a singular wish
it
she added, maliciously, "but then, there
is no accounting for tastes. However,
Mrs. Dane, L must say I'm very much
obliged to you for the information you
have given me. Just you come up to
my house to-morrow evening at half past
seven. I'll have Miss Hetherton there,
and you see if I don't give her something
to make her remember that night by as
long as she lives. Will you come?"
"Yesyes," they answered in a breath.
"All right. Mind and be punctual,
and above all, don't let a single soul
know anything about it. Kemmber
that."
Carrie stuffed her hankerchief lhfohe'r
pretty mouth, and hurried away, shaking
her plump sides over her projected plan;
and the two tale-bearers, after looking a
moment at each other, and ejaculating,
severally, "Boiled in oil!' descended the
steps ofthe store, and went together to
ward their homes, secretly rejoicing at
the public disgrace which was about to
fall upon the head ofthe audacious Helen
Hetherton.
Lenteith was a little country village
with one tavern, one store, one meeting
house and a blacksmith shop. Plenty
of rum shops were scattered up and
down the single street where the men (?)
might congregate to talk scandal, and
make remarks about the passers by;
plenty of women, young and old, were
ready to sally forth at any time from the
wooden houses, with their aprons thrown
over their heads, to rehearse some choice
lie which had just been fabricated by
one of their number. If you sneezed on
one of the mountains twenty miles this
side of Lentieth, every one who lived in
the place could swear he heard you be
fore night. With some few exceptions,
a set of prying, malicious, impertiment
liars and busy-bodies made up the pop
ulation of the place, and busied .them
selves in attending to other persons' af
fairs, and in rearing up another genera
tion exactly as bad, if not worse, than
themselves.
Mrs. Dane and Mrs. Gill, with a few
bosom friends, who tried hard to be their
exact counterparts, and did not bungle
very badly at the business, led off this
precious swarm. They were the first
and formost in all mischief, and as much
to be dreaded as the approach of a pesti
lence. Every one despised them every
one hated them yet almost every one
feared them. Carrie Stanley, and a
clique of her friends, who were the only
refined people in the place, were notable
exceptions to the general rule, and rarely
let a chance esaape for harrassing,
frightening or shocking them in some
way, by their malicious causticness.
Carrie's handsome parlors were
crammed to their utmost capacity on the
eventful Thursday night. Every one
present had received a special and secret
invitation every one knew something
was to be done to Helen Hetherton,
whose crimes were, that she was rich,
and attended steadily to her affairs, only
I: ughing .:t their frantic attempts at as
sisting her in tne unaertaKing ana
every one was in the qui vive, when the
parlor doors were thrown open, and a
party entered that made them stare with
amazement.
Fui-emo.it walked the worthy minister
of the viilftjrc-. with hia prayer-book in
hand. Aiier liim came Carrie, dressed
in while, and looking mischieviously
around, as she leaned upon her husband's
arm; then a long array of ladies and gen
tlemen magnificently dressed, and evi
dently from the city; then Carrie's friends
who resided in Lenteith; and last, not.
least, the culprit, Helen Hetherton,
dressed in white satin, with orange flow- i
ers in her hair, and leaning upon the
arm of a gentlemen who was the exact
counterpart of Dr. Stanley in form and
features, air and manner. The wonder
ing villagers stared, rubbed their eyes
and nudged each other but before they
were halt over their wonder, the gayly
dressed crowd had managed to secure a
place in the center ofthe room, and the
minister, opening his book, began the
works of the solemn and beautiful ser
vice which was to unite two fond and
loving hearts in one.
When once the congratulations were
over, Carrie steppsd up to the fair bride,
and clasped a bracelet of jewels upon
her arm. Then turning to the company,
she said, sarcastically:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I assured you
that if you would come here to-night, I
would give Miss Hetherton something
she would never forget. I have done so.
Not only the little trinket I have just
clasped upon her, but the love of myself
and my husband, the admiration of these
friends, and the life-long love and devo
tion of her husband- the ttcm brother of
Dr. Stanley who was vile enough to
visit his betrothed wife night before last,
and stay till ten o'clock, as Mrs. Dame
and Mrs. Gill informed me. Ladies and
gentlemen, we all hope that you may be
a little more successful the next time
you try to make mischief, and have the
honor to wish you a very good evening."
She bowed coldly, took her husband's
arm, and led the way, followed by the
bridal party, who watched the crest-fallen
villagers with amused faces as they
passed out.
"Sold ! sold ! Most abominably sold!"
That was the murmur that began to
circulate around the crowded rooms, and
out they rushed, burning with shame
and rage, while the bridal party were
sitting merrily over asplendid supper in
the rooms above.
It is as much as your life is worth to
allude to Helen Hetherton's wedding in
Lenteith, or to give Mrs. Dame the
slightest hint about being boiled in oil!
Scratched out of His Grave.
A ban who has been up among the
Chinook Indians has been giving us a
lew items in regard to their habits and
m:iiiiiers. He s ys that when a sick In
dian is given over by the medicine man
they pro- eed to bury him at once. It's
no use io make a fuss rjbout it they are
bound to sd hi in. He says they took
an 'Hit ciiap nut ana our;ea nun in spite
tir hi a struggles, and left him. The next
morning .Mr Indian appeared again.
!!e had si-rnt'-hed out, and at last ac
counts was as good as new. How many
poor devils would scratch out if they
ould, is a matter of grave conjecture.
San Francisco Letter.
fig'Liberty or death" is a
strong
expression, which comes in well at the
end of a poetical oration; but liberty, as
a finality, doesn't amount to much.
People have liberty to work or starve
liberty to sleep in a cellar or freeze in
the street. Millions of freemen have
liberty to toil six long days in every
week, for a very miserable existence,
with the poor-house and the pauper's
grave at the end of it!
This is not "liberty or death" it is
liberty and death!
SOMETHING NEW IN THE SCIEN
TIFIC WORLD.
We copy the following interesting
article- from the New Orleans Picayune.
It is from the pen of their New York
correspondent, "Walter Olyde."
A certain Dr. Benjamin Hardinge, a
mar of origitfal mind, a careful, trath
ful arid never tiring strident of nature,
has spent the last fifteen years in his
laboratory in liquidating quartz rock,
and combining it again in new and va
ried forms. Dissolving" quartz or silex,
with an excess of alkali is nothing new
chemistry, but to do it with the silex
very greatlysn excess over the alkali,
and in large quantities, and at small ex-pensey-
hate, been, one of kths greatest
studies of chemistry for the past quarter
of a century. This Dr. Hardinge surely
accomplished, for I have seen three
thousand gallons of liquid dissolved at
one time, and in the short space of two
hours, anl at an expense merely nomi
nal. The capacity of the monster ma
chine is ix thousand gallons, and it can
digest twelve tuns of quartz, or oize or
flint roe'e, in twenty-four hours, and
convert it into the waters of crystalli
zation. But, then, you have the basis
for the widest speculations. Your
readers are, perhaps, aware that a very
large portion of our globe is of just this
material in the form of sand, rock or
other silicious substances. By chemical
combinations, Dr. Hardinge makes an
article of plastic marble, purer than the
purest Parian. It can be made of any
color, by mixtures with various metallic
oxides. Every article of marble work
may thus be cast as perfectly as castings
of metal now are, and copies of Corin
thian pillars, statues, mantles, can be
furnished at an expense of probably one
per cent, their present cost. By a
proper combination with ordinary sand
or marble, a stone is made harder than
the hardest flint, and at. a price far less
than cheapest brick. Your parlors may

Woman's Qualities.
The characteristic qualities of woman
when true to the type of her being
her delicacy, modesty, reserve, and chas
tity in thought and action her sweet
ness, gentleness, patience, sympathy,
tenderness, dependence, devotion, her
sensibility to beauty and grace, order,
fitness, and propriety in speech, dress,
behavior, everything ; her intellectual
faculties more receptive than produc
tive thought resting more on feeling
than feeling on thought making her
more susceptible of culture and refine
ment than apt for grasping the abstruse
and rugged in science and practical life;
all these are charms for men, through
which man gets unspeakable good to his
own nature ; while man's harder texture
in body and mind his strength, cour
age, self-reliance, his grasp, force, and
productive power in the world of thought
and action, draw woman to him. Thus
each finds in the other what each one
needs. The womanly woman feels her
self strong and brave when she leans on
man, and man's manly courage grows
stouter, and at the same time the rugged
hardness of his nature, is softened by
tender reverence, as with one arm he
supports and with the other protects the
gentle one clinging to his side. In ev
erything, in short, in which they are
made different, it ia that each may find
their counterpart in the other. They
are made different in order that they
may become one. Out of this very dif
ference springs the closest and richest
union the union of mutual love, whereof
marriage is the outward representation.
Only is this true married union, and in
the house of love that builds itself up out
of it, can the fullness and persecution of
the individual life, dignity, and worth of
each be found and realized. Dr. Old
ham. A Warning to Gold Seekers.
A correspondent of the Chicago Press,
writing from the Pike's Peak region,
says:
That the country is rich, very rich, in
the precious minerals, there can be no
longer a doubt; and yearly hereafter, for
a long period thousands and millions of
gold dug from these mountains will find
its way to the States. No one can doubt
it after once visiting here and seeing
the countless leads, and testing the rich
ness of the quartz strewn all over the
mountain sides but a man icith bare
hands hure stands a very poor chanae. It
requires capital to work successfully
these quartz mines; and I have seen many
a sanguine adventurer come here wrth
high expectations and dreams of fortune
already made, look out upon these
mountains and quail before the hardship
presented, and penniless and disheart
ened, turn to seek his way homeward
cursing the country and all in it, in the
bitterness of his disappointment.
Every claim from Gregory's to the
Snowy Range is taken; and to get one,
requires capital, and to work it requires
still more; and any man in the States,
without capital, who has an opportunity
of making a living there and leaves it in
the belief that he an better his fortunes
here, will, in nine cases out of ten sorely
repent the day he ever started. To all
such, Messrs. Editors, I believe it to be
your duty to give this wholesome advice:
"Stay at home 6v all means, stay at
home."
A BKAMIS'S ACCOUNT OF HIS COUN
TRYNOTIONS OF INDIA HABITS
OF SOCIETY, fcC.
The Rev. Mr. Gangooly, a converted
Bramin, now traveling in this country,
delivered in New Bedford, a few nights
ago, a lecture on the manners and cus
toms of the people of India.
Mr. Gangooly said that the manners
and customs of Hindoo life had always
been the subject of much speculation,
and even missionaries had given to the
world inaccurate accounts of the people
of India. He had been requested to
prepare a work upon his country, and
he had already done his part of the work,
and it was in the hands of the Rev. Mr.
Ellis of Charleston and would soon be
published. 'The casfe"" system was ex
plained at some length. The Hindoos
are divided into thirty-four castes, of
which the Bramiri reaches the high
est, and the1 banker, goldsmith and shoe
maker are among the lowest. The black
smith is of high caste, because of his
usefulness. If a Bramin eats animal
food, he looses his caste, which he can
sver regain, ihe Bufrject of birth was
next treated. The birth of a male
child is alwavs made the occasion of
great rejoicing, while the birth of a fe
male is scarcely noticed. The mother
of five or six girls is always the subject
of scorn and derision, and never goes
into society.
There are but three castes' in India
that cannot read or write. The strictest
attention is given to the education of
boys in India, while the girls never go
to school. The discipline of Bramin life
is in some instances grand. A Bramin
rises as early as five o'clock, walks out
and gathers flowers, and bathes before
the sun rises ; if .the sun sees one of this
class in bed, the fourteenth generations
of his ancesters will be punished in eter
nity. Women must bathe every morn
ing betore tney go into the kitchen ; it
they do not, people will not eat their
cooking. Bramins must keep silent at
the table; if they speak while eating,
they are obliged to go without food the
entire day.
Ihe marriage system was next consid
ered. Hindoos do not know, strictly,
what marriages are. Neither the bovs
nor the girls have anything to do with
the matter. Parents make all the
matches, and the parties have no idea to
whom they are to unite their destinies,
until they arrive at the altar. The mar
riageable age of girls is from seven to
ten, and that of boys from thirteen to
twenty-five. A girl at thirteen years ot
age, unmarried, is considered an old
maid past all redemption.
In regard to the burial cerimomes of
the dead in India, manythings have
been said and written by travelers, that
are untrue. 1 he burning ot widows upon
the funeral piles6r their 'husbands,
was explained and accounted for by the
fact that when a woman becomes a
widow, she must forever remain in that
situation, and she is never thought any
thing of nor treated respectfully, and
many of them, in view of these facts pre
ferred death. This custom has, said the
speaker, been recently abolished by the
British government.
Fanny Fern on'Sermongt
I want a human sermon. I don't care
what Melchisadeck, or Zerubabcl, or
Kerenhappuch did ages ago. I want to
know what I am to do; and I want some
body besides a theological bookworm to
tell me somebody who is tempted and
tried and who is not too dignified to
own it; and somebody like me who is al
ways sinning and repenting; iomebody
who is glad and sorry, cries and laughs,
and eats and drinks, and wants to fight
when he is trodden on and don t.
That's the minister for me. I don't
want a spiritual abstraction, with stony
eyes and petrified fingers, and no blood
to battle with. What credit is it to him
to be proper? How can he understand
me? Were there only such ministers in
the pulpit, I would not go to church
either, because my impatient feet would
only beat tattoo on the pew floor till
service was over, but thank God there
are! and while they preach I shall go to
hear them, and come home better and
happier for having done it.
Facts About Sicily.
Sicily, the largest Island in the
Mediterranean, is separated from the
Southern extremity of Italy by the
Straits of Messina, and surrounded by
several groups of small Islands. It is
about lea miles in the largest part
that is, from East to West varies from
31 to 109 miles in width, is 344: miles
round, and 16,375 square miles in super
fices. It is divided into seven provinces
-Palermo, Messina, Catania, Syracuse,
Callanisetta, Gergenti, and Trapani.
The first three the most important in
a military point of view are united by
a road which runs along the Northern
coast to Girgenti, and which will one
day be extended round the whole coast
oi the Island; Palermo, the chief town,
is the residence of the Governor General
of Sicily, and is the seat of the Govern
ment, and contains about 175,000 inhab
itants. The entire population ot the
Island is about 2,000,000, all Catholics,
Navigable Balloon.
A navigable balloon called the "Fly
ing Fish," has been exhibited in Paris,
at the Exhibition Palace, and was lately
taken to the court-yard or the tuilleries
to be shown to the Emperor. His
Majesty, leading the Prince Imperial by
the hand, inspected the aparatus, aud
inspected it from one of the windows.
The balloon, which is somewhat in the
form of a whale, is provided with paddle
wheels, worked by a small engine, and
made to act in any direction by means
of a rudder placed at one of the ex
tremities. The whole was kept captive
at a height of some yards, and executed
different maneuvers, among which were
a circle, and a stoppage before the win
dow of the Empress. The Emperor
witnessed the experiments with much in
terest, ana addressed numerous questions
to the inventor.

THE INCA'S DAUGHTER.
A PERUVIAN LEGEND.
Huasca, the Inca of Peru, who reigned
at the beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury, and who was remarkable for his
love of the arts, especially those con
nected with the improvement of his capi
tal, proclaimed, that whosoeveT would
find means of conveying water with
facility to his palace and to Cuzco,
should receive in marriage his youngest
daughter, then a beautiful girl in the
first bloom of womanhood. This offer
was no sooner made, than a young man
appeared, called Hassan, who declared
himself capable of performing the great
work.' He was immediately furnished
with a9 many men, and all the materials
which he thought proper to demand, and
the work was commenced.
While the work, however, was in pro
gress, an accident occurred which damped
the ardor or the youth iot the accom
plishment of what he had undertaken,
and seemed to overthrow all expectations
of its ever being completed. Among
the numerous attendants upon the work
men for the preparation of their food,
and the care of the camp in which: they
dwelt, there appeared a girl of great
beauty, who, while attending upon her
father, was observed by the youthful
engineer, who became so violently
enamored of her that his attentions were
distracted and turned from the object
on which his mind had hitherto bent.
He saw that the accomplishment of the
work he had undertaken would result in
his marriage with the daughter of the
Inca, and this, though accompanied by
all the honors the sovereign could he
stow, would deprive him of that which
he valued more than life, and tie him to
a bride whom he had never seen, and
had now ceased to desire to know.
Owing to the state of Hassan's mind,
neglect, languor and disorder reigned in
the encampment of the workmen, which
at first seemed to every one to arise from
a conviction on the part of the engineer
that the accomplishment of the "work
was beyond his power. Some time
passed without any change, during which
Hassan had frequent opportunities of
meeting the young attendant to whom
he had become attached. This, how
ever, was by and by remarked by the
people in such a manner as to induce
the young girl to retire and return no
more to camp distracting still more the
mind of the engineer, who was unable to
obtain any further information concern
ing her.
The confusion into which, everything
was thrown became know to the Inca,
who soon learned also the real cause of
the engineer's default, and determined
, ro jus jeyense fy Png taoeatnx
openly insulted his sovereign. The
character, however, of the offense was
such that Hassan was sent for before his
execution, and appeared, guarded in the
presence of Inca, who sat upon his
throne surrounded by his nobles.
Huasca, happening to be a man of mod
erate passions, asked the culprit, in the
presence of the nobles, whether he had
anything to say before his execution
inextenuation of the crime he had com
mitted by treating his sovereign with
contempt.
To this the young man replied, that
he had only to thank hi3 sovereign for
all the favors he had received, and more
especially for that he was about to re
ceive, which would place him beyond
the reach of such suffering as he had en
dured since he had become acquainted
with the innocent cause of his misfor
tune. At the moment that Inca was about
to commit him to the tender mercies of
the executioners, the girl we have men
tioned suddenly appeared among the
crowd of nobles, dressed as she had been
in the camp of the workmen, and rush
ing into the centre ot the hall, exclaimed.
"Stay, Inca! Arrest the hand of jus
tice for a moment, while 1 put one
question to the unfortunate culprit. It
shall be such as the Inca will not disap
prove." From the moment ot this strange ap-
paration, until the demand of the girl,
there was not a sound heard. The whole
of the nobles remained silent and mo
tionless. But, had no embarrassment
overwhelmed them, the presence of their
sovereign would have restrained equally
their , words and their acts. Huasca
seemed unmoved, nodded assent to the
demand of the girl, who now walked up
to the youth, and, laying her right
hand upon his left shoulder, and stand
ing a little one side, that his countenance
might be seen by the Inca, said:
"Young man of the hills where is ever
known! subject of Huasca! Hast thou
chosen the child of the vales in prefer
ence to the daughter of thy sovereign?"
To which the youth, after steadfastly
regarding the Inca, replied:
"The will of the Great Source of
Light be done. The sentence of the
Inca is just."
Then turning to the girU he added;
"I go now with joy to dwell where I
shall await thy coming, to possess thee
forever."
"But wherefore couldst thou not,"
then said the girl, "accomplish the work
which thou hast undertaken?"
"It had been done," said the youth,
"had that labor been accomplished with
the hope of possessing thee."
At this reply the young girl, suddenly
throwing off her.upper garments, which
had hidden those which would have be
trayed her true character, and taking the
entranced youth by the hand, advanced
up to the foot of the throne of the Inca,
and exclaimed:
"Great father of the children of the
son, I whom thou lovest as thysolf, de
mand the remission of the sentence
against the youth, now bowed down be
fore thee, until it be known whether the
great work he has undertaken can be ac
complished or not."
Inca Huasca, whose affection for his
daughter was beyond all other feelings,
electrified by the occurrence, signified
his assent to the proposal. A few
months after this the great aqueduct
was completed, and the engineer and
the nrincess became man and wife.
