It was on pleasant summer evethiittwo young1 lovers sat within a bower, breathing to each other tows of constancy and arleclion.

The gentle zephyr funned their cheeks, and waflrd tho perfume of flowers of every description, as they chins to the lattices arid twined themselves about for support weaving1 a rich carpet, of Nature's handiwork, beautiful to look upon and delicious to the senses, making earth a fit dwelling place for that purest and holiest of emotions Jove, but those two hceid them not. They were too deeply enquired in each other's feelings, as the Division of the" Methodist Church. We were wrong tbe other day in saying that the Methodist Convention at Louisville, had passed resolution in favor of separating from their brethren of tho North. They were only debating one to that effect, at the time but they have now passed it, substantially, in these words Resolved by the Delegates of the several Annual Conferences in the South and Southwestern States in General Convention assembled, That we cannot sanction the action of the late general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on the subject of slavery, by remaining under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of this body, without deep and lasting injury to the interests of the church and country we therefore hereby instruct the committee on organization that if, upon a careful examination of the whole subject, they find that there is no reasonable ground pose her senses for repose and arising, she opened the shutter, and by the silvery light of the. moon she gazed out upon the face of rNature.

It was lovely, and served in some measure to soothe her ipto tranquility. But where was Arthur? why did ho not come? wero questions which oft times occurred to her mind, and when banished, again recurred, lhe din of battle had longtince passed away, and yet no came not. Dreadful forebodings came across her mind she walked her chamber until the morning dawned and then hastened to the battle field. Arming herself with more than Spartan courage, she strode over the dead. A higher power impelled her onjt was the power of Love.

She at length gamed the object of her search but he was cold and lifeless. She knelt down by his side, raised his head, and parting the ciotted Jocks, once so soft and fair, one moment with a vacant stare, and then burst forth into a wild, unearthly laugh. From that moment the lovely Ida was a raving maniac, and it was a melancholy sight to seo her wandering through the fields, gathering flowers with which she decked her person, calling herself the'4 Warrior's Bride." Hart Another Antj Rent Outrage. Two Men Tarred A short, time since a Mr. Widerwax, hired a I farm iu Taghkanic, occupied by Mr.

Rockofeller, who bad also allowed M. N. Burdick to occupy a portion of the premises. On Thursday the 8lh, we understand Mr. Widerwax moved into the house, Mr.

Burdick still retaining possession of a portion of it. On the night of tho 9th the premises were visited by some persons who sawed off the handles of his plough, and committed many other outrages of a like nature. On the following night, the 10th. about twenty men, armed and disguised, broke into the house threw the furniture and other things about the premises, and took Mr. Widerwax and Mr.

Van Elten, his hired man, and tarred them and otherwise maltreated and abused them. They then commanded Mr. W. to leave the premises, which he agreed to do, having no disposition to contest the title with men who are governed by "Lynch Law." Hudson Gaz. Official.

For the Brooklyn Eagle, flj" I observed in the Advertiser of Monday, in a notice of the Baths on Brooklyn Heights, the editor says he believes they are the only Baths in the city which statement is calculated to mislead strangers, and those recently come to live here. I can hardly suppose that he is so unacquainted with our city for no man is fit to edit a paper in a place that be is so ignorant of. It must be from another cause, lhe secret is, do not advertise in that paver. I built sea water warm baths in 1836 the first in the State by five years and have had them in operation every season since.

There has not been a day in three and a half years but my baths have been open for visitors. The baths are located at the Fulton ferry, which everybody knows is the most central location anywhere in Brooklyn. Nobody passing over Fulton ferry can avoid seeing the baths. It can hardly be supposed that it was ignorance that caused the editor to make such a statement. My object is, to undeceive strangers and those who have recently come amongst us for I think every person that has liven in Brooklyn six months knows of the brooklyn Salt Water Warm Baths at Fulton ferry.

His eve ning sales are particularly rich, and seldom fail to draw a cordon of choice spirits around him. No 79. This is devoted, in part, to the hair dress ing and shaving saloon of Pelletreau, and in part to the jewelry store of Wise. Both (but especially the former) have recently been turned out of the win dows," and refurnished with everything essential to the comfort, taste, and convenience of the publie so that nobody can visit either without being satisfied that Spring is really come. No.

91. This is the crockery Btore of Coopc, famous alike for the extent of its business, and the size and beauty of its windows. It is a treat to look upon lhe rich and rare articles which are displayed to the gaze of the passers by through the mammoth panes of glass and numbers are continually stopping to enjoy it. We doubt whether there is a store in Broadway that can surpass this of Coope's. No 99.

Here Forsyth, the jeweller and optician, hangs out his sign but that is less attractive than the rich and costly panes of glass which ornament his windows. Indeed the may be regarded as a continuous pane, with an interval between them for the admission of customers. Strictly speaking, however, they are six in numher, joined at the edge by silver rods, and have cost $53 apiece or 318 It were idle to speak of the goods in this establishment. They must be seen to be appreciated. No.

105. This is Drawer's Furnishing Store, where, though the windows are not extra largo, the goods arc extra tine and beautiful. It is evident tnat Spring has been there. No. 1 14.

This is the fashionable Hat Emporium of Wm. II. Peck. The building has been put up during the last winter, and is now filled with a choice and elegant variety of hats, caps. Tho old fox has resumed his position in the window which, though not large, is quite respectable and the grey squirrel crouches, as usual, at his feet.

The "sweet south" has passed. No. 107. Here is the placo where bargains are made in the dry goods line, by Hall, which are alike profitable to seller and buyer. His stock is very large, and his customers numerous.

The season has done it all. No. 147. Hubbard, (formerly of 103) has taken this store, and fitted it up in a manner which deserves the admiration and encouragement of the ladies. His stock is a very choice one, and his terms as low as are consistent with a fair living profit.

The windows arc not extravagant in respect to size, but the lamps are superb. Tho whole of this change is ascribablo to the season. No. 152. Horton, dry goods dealer, is the occupant of this number, which is distinguished by its red sign.

His stock of goods has much increased within a month or two past, and his prices are so reasonable that a miser would not object to tliciu. No. 21.1. This is a unique establishment, where hair drcssing, shaving, shampooing, is practised 011 a liberal scale. It is occupied by James Stokes, well known to our citizens an an old resident among them, and entitled, by the pains which lie takes for their accommodation, to a full share of patronage.

He has recently fitted up a room for ladies, where culling, curling and shampooing of the hair is at tended to. He has likewise opened a store for tho sale of perfumery, feather brushes, and fancy articles in general. No clearer sign of Spring is to be found in the city than 213 exhibits. These are only a few of the evidences which might be adduced that Spring is with us but we must hold up for the present. Land vs.

Wan." Such is tho heading of an advertisement in one of the New York papers, inviting all who advocate the natural right of every man to (other people's) land under the euphonious cognomen of Maintaining the Freedom of the Soil" and to share the profits of those who labor while they are spending their time in bar rooms, and wondering why corn don't grow without planting, to meet at Croton Hall, Chatham square, this evening, and seo tho wholo matter laid open. But after the vote is taken, and it is decided that tho people (i. e. all people) have a natural right lo tho public lands in general, and those of Mr. Van Renscllaer in particular, and that tho reformers' aro a very miserable and ill used set of beings, what then? Will Uncle Sam.

or Mr. Van Rensellaer acknowledge the verdict, and put the complainants in possession of their much coveted We sus pect not. Well, what will happen? Why, the loss of several hours' precious time, the expenditure of forty shillings for room hire, and half as many for root becror its equivalent; and perhaps the smashing of a few benches and panes of glass. At least, this is a fair deduction from the lessons of experience Meanwhile the reformers'' will continue as land less and patriotic as ever. The whole of this controversy about free soil reminds us of a couple of resolutions passed by some of the original settlers of Connecticut, to wit: Resolved, That this earth is the gift of God to the saints.

Resolved, That tee are the saints. As, however, tho saints did not possess the earth," nor any larger portion of it than they could render an equivalent for, so, we presume, it will turn out with Ihc reformers." We have no doubt that sincere and well meaning persons constitute a part of this free land association but we are inclined to think that much the larger portion or them are gentle, men who seek to atuno for their positive mistakes and achieve a little adventitious notoriety by putting themselves prominently forward as advocates of the very largest liberty. If they aro really 10 much attached to the soil as they pretend, why do n't they go to Iowa, Illinois, Arkansas or other fertile regions, and squat upon as much as they can bring under cultivation? Tho road is opon, travel choap, and the country inviting. By so doing they will perform a real service to tho community, and possibly to themselves. Rich.

The Amer. speaking of the proposed National Convention of its extinct party, says It is highly necessary that at our first National Convention, men should bo present from various sections of the country, who possess enlargod and libo ral views" Qncre How manv larrrc, nd liberal views can originate in one wrong idea 7 half drawn sigh and often repeated embrace but loo plainly told fpr the one on the marrow was to brave death on the battle field to grasp the shield and draw the sword in defence of his country. Beneath that bower ho had promised to meet his betrothed, and there they hud met confiding to each other their mutual joys and sorrows, their hopes and fears for their hearts wero one blended together, as it were, by the mystic bands of love. Oh, can (here be any thing more pure and beautiful upon earth than fervent, devoted, unselfish love? It is lik an oasis upon a barren desert a rccii and pleasant island in the midst of a stormy ocean. Without it, what is life but a dreary solitude a blank 4 twixt two All bend beneath its potent sway, and delight to do it homage.

I There those two lovers were seated, entwined in each other's arms, a tit model for an artist. Beauty and innocence sat upon the brow of each. She was fair and lovely her graceful form and modest de "mcannr were the admiration of all. Her name was Ida. Born and bred in the highest grade of society, she had won the love and esteem of every one within the circle of her arquaintancc, those in humble life as" well as those of her own station Yes, she was gmd as she was fair, PCone, none 0:1 earth above her As pure in thought as angels are, To see her was to love her.5' The other was one whose stalely form and noble carriage showed him to he a youth of rank, not only in name but in all that constitutes true nobility.

As a friend of freedom he watched with an eagle's eve the progress of our revolution; his soul panted for the fifld he longed to cope with the enemies of his country's fieedom. He had not yet had an opportunity to display his valor, the regiment to which he belonged not having been called into active service but on the morrow's dawn they had been ordered to bo in readiness to inarch against the enemy, who were then ravaging and desolating the fairest portions of the JVIiddle and Southern flairs, lie had now to bid his betrothed farew ell but his heart refused the sound, died upon his tips he dircd not trust his tongue to utter it, Je't lie should betray emotions which he thought ill comported with the dignity of manhood. Long had they sat in silence, for they were happy happy in each other's presence and in each other's love. Yet withTtheir happiness was mingled a feeling of sad foreboding as they thought of tho future of the battle field, and its possible consequences. But their reverie was broken at last; he must leave for the camp, to be in readiness at the approaching "dawn.

But hark one booming gun bursts upon his ear he start? another rang upon the stillness of the night, reminding him of his duty. Ho felt that his own honor and the cause of his country demanded his immediate presence on the field, where perhaps Teven then his gallant comrades were marshaling in battle array. Clasping his lovely Ida to his bosom, each now realized for the first time that the moment of parting had indeed arrived. Words were useless 'a silence more expressive than language told the depth and fervency of their fet lingp. Imprinting a kiss ujKin the fair check of his beloved, he tore himself from her agonized embrace, and.

mounting his noble charter, he whs soon at the American camp. Hastily wheeling into the line, which had already been lormed. he awaited the order of his superior for the conflict. The advance columns of both armies had commenced the engagement, and reinforcements to each were continually arriving. chapter ir.

But to return to Ida. She saw Arthcr leave her, but still had nut the power to give utterance to the emotions that were struggling in her bosom, fehe but waved her hand and lie was gone I If there is ever a time when we need the consolations of friends and the assistance of a high Power, it is when" those we love are separated from us, with the prospect that we may never meet them again with the living. War how many parents hast thou cmldless how many children fatherless! and how hast severed every tie of friendship and a flection Millions, wooed by thy clarion call, have rushed to thy bloody embrace, and met, instead of the laurel crowned phantom of Renown, the gloomy ppectre of Death. din of battle soon became louder, and as the breeze wafted the roar to the ears of Ida, her agony of mind grew too intense to be borne. Tears refused to flow from her burning eyes she felt sick at heart, Jier brain reeled, she only thought of the danger to which her lover was exposed.

Throwing herself upon her knees, she prayed for strmglhlo bear her trials without a murmur, and to submit to the will of Providence, whatever it might be. As she arose from her devotions, there came a calm over her spirit which allayed the feverish excitement of the previous hour. Those only who have known the full power of love, the strength of its attachment, the yearning of the heart toward the object of its affection those, only, can appreciate the feeling of the beautiful Ida. It is as the light of life to woman, and often becomes the ruling passion of man. It is for this the poet wakes his lyre, for this the student trims his midnight lamp, for this too often the young hero dons the panoply of war and rushes to the battle field.

How truly saith the hard Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above, for love is heaven, and heaven is love." chapter nr. The san had risen in splendor; and, as its glowing lints lit up the eastern sky, spangling the clouds with its variegated splendor, and making Nature smile as he threw his golden mantle over the earth covering the hills with his gorgeous folds of beauteous rays, which shot alhuait the horizon as if too proud to stoop to the valleys below presenting to the eye of man a scene too beautiful to describe, and which even an attempt would be doing it injustice. But its rays that morn fell upon the flittering steel upon the panting steed in his gorgeous (tappings, as he neighed, impatient for the strife; and upon legions of armed men, arrayed with implements of death in their hands, ready to do the work of destruction. Soon came the command fur them to charge, and, as rank fallowed rank in quick succession, the Americans, inspired by a love of Liberty, hewed down all who opposed them. The strife was between liberty and slavery, and was supported on tiie one side by a ban of hired ruflians, who, fought for pay, who, demon like, left their own country weighed down by the ruthless hand of tyranny, to crush tho hud of freedom in America.

But thanks to that immortal band if patriots who fought for independence who dared to brave death rather than endure chains who stood, unmoved by the battle shock, contending for the lihcities which we now enjoy. They fought as it became freemen struggling f. victory, tint they might lay down their arms and see their beloved count once more bearing the olive branch of Peace. The battle raged furiously, and the contending parties were alternately driven and re driven by each other. Long did the scales of" victory tremble as on a pivot, and it seemed as if the goddess was uncertain on which of the contending armies she should bestow her wreath.

Never did Arthur feel his bosom glow with a more fervent zeal for Ihc cause of liberty than amid the tramp of steeds, the pealing drum and the cannon's rrur. He thought of Acr.niid again plunged into the thickest of again the glittering steel, dripping with blood, fell upon the foes of his country. They shrank from his presence, awed by his bravety his eye flashed fire, and he seemed to the enemy like one inspired. But. alaa, death loves a shining and a fatal bullet ftped iu unerring way to hishcait.

Ho fell bleeding to the earth fell a martyr iu defence ol his countrya victim to the demon of war. His lile bjood flowed upon the sand, and yet he knew it not a lew faint gasps and he was no more. Ida retired lo her chamber, but in vain she sought for sleep. Distressed by the circumstances lluough which she had so recently passed, she could not com to hope that the Northern majority will recede from their position, and give safe guaranty for the future security of our civil and ecclesiastical rights, that they report in favor of a separation from the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the said general conference. This, to be sure, is not a formal, though it may properly be regarded as a virtual sundering of the Convention.

The Northern ministers will scarcely recede from their position. Good Fat Dividend The New York Sun one of Brooklyn Ferry Companies is dividing, in one way or other, about one hundred and fifty per cent. annually on all the capital invested. Phil. Ledger.

This shows how easy it is for Error to travel a mile while Truth is putting on its boots, and become exaggerated at that The Sun put it down one hundred and fifteen per but the Ledger has it ono hundred and fifty By the time the story reaches Washington it will be two hundred, at least. Now the tru(A is and the Sun is culpable for refusing to state it that the Union Company has never divided more than seven per cent, per annum, being restricted by their articles of association to that amount. The proprietor of the Sun, as owner of two or three banks, and agent for one or two more, has got his mind so intentlv fixed upon enormous profits that he cannot begin to think about seven per cent. Fire in Allegheny City. A destructive fire occurred at this place which is opposite Pittsburg, Pa.

The village of Anderson, S. was recently visited with a conflagra tion, by which goods and property to the value of fifty thousand dollars were destroyed, there were but three hundred inhabitants, white and black, in lhe village, and tho fiery destruction swept the place literally into ashes and ruin. Many worthy and industrious families have, in consequence, been plunged into poverty, and it is stated that deep distress prevails among them. It was asserted in Pennsylvania, and not there alone, but in this city, by our neighbor of the Eagle, during tho late Presidential campaign, that Mr. Polk was as much, or more of a Tariff man than Mr.Clay.'' Advertiser.

Nay, sir, the Eagle has never asserted any such thing. It lias given parallel extracts from letters written by the gentlemen, after the nomination of the former as President, and before that of the latter, and invited tho most astuto critic to point out the difference between them; but it never asserted, or implied, that Mr. Polk was as much or more of a Tariff man than Mr. Clay."

HOLDEN, Chairman. T. S. Barkeloo, Secretary. my20 3t About Spring.

Why don't you write something about Spring?" said a lady friond of ours the other day, who had skimmed over a whole broadside of political and news paragraphs, read tbe marriages and deaths, and brought up with a jerk at the last advertisement of new goods. Your cotemporary, the Sparkler," she continued, is valuable above all things for the information it imparts upon that most delightful to pic though its remarks on the weather are by no means uninteresting. Who docs not admire the fidelity with which its learned correspondent observes and announces those beautiful developments which shadow forth the approach of summer In the cool, breezy morn, when three quarters of tho world are ei'hcr snoring profoundly, or cat napping it in trembling anticipation of the breakfast bell, 'ou may see the worthy savan (pronounce it sarvarn) tramping alung the Brooklyn Heights, with his staff in one hand and a cotton handkerchief full of geological specimens in the other gazing, with a poet's eye, upon the tender blades of grass as yet unnipped by truant cattle admiring the buds and blossoms listening to the matin song of pewces; and imbibing large quantities of inspiration and fresh air at one and the same time. Anon he lays down his bundle, draws forth his note book, strikes his ample forehead as if to hustle thought out of her inner chambers, and inscribes the. unsullied page with data.

Then, moving on at a brisk pace, he is lost to view and the next time we meet him is in the shape of a communication to the Sparkler. By such means we are kept advised of those gradations in the temperature which always occur the almanack being authority about this and obtain some good idea of their effects upon the animal, mineral, and vegetable world. Now, sir, why can't you folluw in the footsteps of your illustrious predecessor The only reply wo could make was, that the theme had grown hackneyed that the buds, flowers, leaves and birds, the silver' lakes and purling streams, (by courtesy, though many of them arc covered with a thick, rrrpen scum) the benignant sky, and the drowsy hum of distant villages were thoroughly used up while all that remained was the crowing of cocks, the yelping of chained curs, the rattle of milk wagons, the "street carol" of chimney sweeps, and the storming of children through halls and vacant rttoins as if they were going to wake the dead. AH this, however, did not satisfy our querist and we could only get clear, for the time being, by promising at least a seasonable, if not a Spring article. But how to begin Ah there's the rub For do 3'ou know, reader, that there is a romurkabte correspondence between commencing a newspaper article and starting a locomotive with its train of cars If nay, be assured that such is tho fact.

Tho great ef fort, in cither case, is to get underway and the principal difficulty is to stop. The multitude of ideas which cluster about the 'nib" of one's pen, and, by their simultaneous efforts to get loose, succeed in keeping the whole imprisoned, are only a counterpart of the forces which crowd, and wheeze, and shriek their impatience when the little quick eyed, tobacco chewing engineer takes his tand on tho platform, and begins to manoeuvre with the steam horse. And when the pen begins to move, and the ideas to flow increasing at every bound until their pace is bewil dering, the idea of the locomotive and its constantly accelerated speed is most vividly realised. The signs of Spring what are they? In small towns and country villages they are the budding of trees the spreading of green carpets over hills and vallies the planting of corn and melon patches and the decorating of men, women and children with seasonable dresses. In cities like Brooklyn, for example they arc to be found in the extraordinary bustle among tradesmen the supply of shops with new goods and the hanging out of the blood red flag of the auctioneer.

The palmy days of this latter wortby are now gone and myriads of women, who esteem it a sort of religious duty to attend all the furniturc salcs, and will sooner go without their dinner and incur the frowns of husbands than miss i one of them, arc again thrown upon their resources which arc neither few nor small. Garrets and spare rooms, crowded with the fruits of cheap bargains," are now undergoing their annual und the process of turning a house out of doors is in full and general blast. But the most significant sign of all is the unique display made by some of the dry goods dealers, jewelers, in (ho lino of extensive is indows and rich fabrics. Surely nothing but a genuine Spring, in all its beauty and essence, could provoko such conduct. Let us glance at a few in their order, limiting our observations lo Fulton street.

No. 48. This is liegeman's new auction room, and in it, at the present moment, are heard tho clear, ringing tones of his voice. A hundred or less women, who have attended'all his sales with scrupulous fidelity and would continue the sport six months were it necessary are clustering about him, and vicing with each other in their cagcrncus lo sccuro the various piizes. The interest of the scene is not a little heightend by the jokes and quaint remarks with which the bidding is interspcried and if the bargains made, or to he made, do not prove mutually beneficial to seller and purchaser, it will not bo for lack of asscr tion on the part of either.
