BY WILLIAM H CARPENTER To the present prevalence of negro songs, none can deny, is attributable much of the slang and low breeding found even among circles where better might be hoped.

A significant and just criticism.

The princess withdrew in a fainting condition, and the Emperor was soon lost in deep thought. " A childish caprice," he said al length —" I am foolish to be disturbed at it. She shall forget it V and his lips did no; dare to u:ter what his heart added. " It must be, lor all my power would be weaker than her tears." The pleasantett episode in the life ol Oliver Cromwell is that which relates to the courtship and marriage ol his son Richard with Dorothy Major, the fair daughter of Richard Major Esq., or Hnraley Manor, Hampshire. All contemporaiy authorities accord to Richard Cromwell great amiability of disposition. His father, however, who evidently entertained a great affection for him, accuses him of a wont of spirit and energy. lodeed, the afTectnnate softness of character which belonged to Richard Cromwell was little calculated to find favor in the eyes of the sterner religionists who seem to have regarded his known attachments to many of tho younger cava tiers as a dereliction from the path of duty. But that very simplicity and ingenuous ness, which met their puritanic disapprobation, evidently attracted his father the more strongly towards him. Bold, ardent, ambitious, and uncompromising as Crom. well evinced himself during his publio career, in his private life, he was a tender husband and an affectionate father ; and however much he may have sighed tt think that the gentle nature of Richard wholly unfiled him for becoming a leader in the terrible drama then enacting, hf loved him perhaps the more lor possessing these milder and more humane qualities which the grim puritan leaders were dis posed to regard as weaknesaes. How Riohard first became acquuintec with the gentle Dorothy, the biographeri do not tell us, but as early as 1044 a proposition of marriage in behalf of theynuuj, couple was made to the future Lord Fro lector by a mutual friend Olivet responded promptly and favorably, althougl he gently hinted that he had been offered on the score of wealth and lineage, a fa more advantageous match for his son. Oi the whole, however, he stated that hi should prefer Richard to wed the (lamp shire maiden, if the marriage settlement! could be satisfactorily arranged. These settlements seemed at first to offer an insu perable difficulty. Oliver and the fathei of Dorothy were both prudent mem, aric ■ hough both were desirous of seeing thei children happily settled, neither of their felt justified in acceding to the proposition; of the other. A year passed in correspou dence, and at the close the inairiinonia scheme seemed as far off as ever. Hom the young couple bore up under repeaiec disappointments we are only left to imag ine, but we may suppose that their mutua inclinations led each of them to urge thei respective parents to a more speedy issue The lather of Dorothy seems to liavi been the first to re open, through a thin party' a correspondence which had beet suffered to drop. Somewhere about a fort night after the execution of Charles thC first, Cromwell, in answer to a letter fron Mr. Major, expressing his willingness tC continue the previous negotiations, adviiei him that he has sent Richard down U Hampshire to make his personal court ti the youna ladv,/Df whose beauty and gooC qualities "we infer that, up to this period Richard only knew Irom report. The re ceplion of Richard was so Altering, tha two weeks later Cromwell writes to Mr Major, thanking him warmly for his civil ilies, and expressing a hope that the affiii might be speedily consummated, lor write: Oliver, "the report of the virtue and good lines* of your daughter has so great i place in my heart, that I think fit not u neglect anything on mv part which nisi conduce to a close ol the business, if Goi please to dispose the young ones' hearts thereunto."

There's no dearth of kindness Or love among mankind, But in darkling (oneness Hooded heart a grow blind t Full of kindness tingling, Soul la nhut from soul, When they might be mingling In one kindred whole I There ire very few will blame Richard for preferiug the oompany of Dorothy Major to the harrasing, duties imposed upon him by ihe warlike geDiua of his father. Oliver, himself, seems to have regarded his son's delinquency with an affectionate sympathy that wins upon our regard invol unturilv. The stern leader o( the Ironsides, the bold compromising antagonist of royal ty, he, whom the cavaliers looked upon wiih horror, aa the most daring and remorseless of regicides, herein shows himself a tender father, eager to promote the the happiness q/ his son, and willing to forego many worldly advantages to accomplish a result so desirable. By concession which nearly strip him bare of present means, he finally succeeds in his object. The preliminaries are all satisfactorily ar. ranged. Richard hastens to rejoin the trentle Dorothy, whose modest but joyous weloome of the truant no one can doubt. Old Mr. Major, puritan as he is, nods a grave approval, aud a week or two subsequently the young couple, after pledging themselves to be all in all to each other, through whatever of sunshine and shadow may chequer their future life, are dulv installed in possession of Hursely Manor, which is henceforth to become thoir home.

Perhaps he might have been content to tin. tiered many days among the peaceful glades of Hursley, but his troops awaited their leader, and in a few weeks he was on his way to Ireland. At Bristol a pleasant letter from Mr. Mnjor awaited him, and to this he replies. After expressing himself glad to hear that the young people are en. joying themselves, he writes concerning Dorothy, whose piety and general goodness of heart appear to have impressed him most favorably. "I assure you, air, 1 wish her well, and 1 believe she knows it. I pray you tell her for me I expect she will write often to me, by which I shall understand how all your family doth, and she will be kept in same exercise." Richard next comes in for his share of remembrance. "I have delivered my son up to you, and I hope you will counsel him ; he will need it, and I believe he likes well what you *av, and will be advised by you." The letter closes with "hearty affections" to Mr*. Major, and "the same to my cousin Anne, to whom I wish a good husband." "Dey first made de earth and den dey made de sky.

First impressions never wear off, and the staiu thus imprinted on the soul is ineflacable. A lady of the writer's acquaintance once fotcibly Illustrated this tact. She had attended on Saturday night a negro concert, and been much entertained with a ohoiet morceau, the burden of which ran someway thus: "Dere's no use a knockin' at de door any more." On the ensuing Sabbath she went in church a8 usual, where the Rev.

There ia another rhyme now abroad about "Jordan," cast ing mockery upon that most awful of truths, the mysterious transit moment of the soul from time into eterniy, symbolized by the river Jordan.

From this period, and during one ot the bloodiest campaign* on record, Cromwell continues to write at intervela to his "be. loved brother Richard Major" in the aame venial and domestic train. Now chiding Dorothy for not having written to him; - ow re buking Richard for his idleness.— Early in the following year he sends his grandtatherly congratulations to Dorothy, and a little later, while on his march against the Soots, he writes from Northumberland lo abk "how the little brat doth." '■1 could chide both father and mother tor their neglect of me." He says, "I know my Hon is idle, but I had better thoughts of Doll; I doubt now her father hath spoiled her; pray, tell her so for me." What fol lows is very touching. "If I had as good leisure as they I would write sometimes."— There is a reproachful pathos about this little sentence, which reveals a world of tenderness in the heart of the fierce old puritan leader. Immediately after the wonderful victory of Dunbar, Oliver writes to Mr. Major— "Pray tell Doll I do not fbrget her nor her little brat. She writes very ounningly and oomplimentally to me ; I expect a letter of plain dealing from her. * » * * 1 wish a blessing upon her aod her husband. The Lord make them fruitful in all that is good. They are at leisure to write ofien, but, indeed, they are both idl) and worthy of blame." How fondly Oliver yearns towards his children ! Ana so it continued to oe as long as he lived. Under the protectorate he evinced the same earnest desire for their happiness. Now chiding Richard for his extravagance; now congratulating Dorothy lor her prudence and goodnees. Indeed, Dorothy was deserving of all praise. The easy tnd amiable disposition of Richard predisposed him to be led astray, and it was not always he could resist thoso temptations, which in the eyes of the Puritans were regarded as snares to predition. But Dorothy gently restrained his wanderings, and led him long the path of duty with so loving a hand that he was fain to yield himself wholly lo her guidance, and to repay her assiduous care for his welfare with the most devoted affliction. How they continued to live and love—what vicissitudes thev passed thro' after the death of Stalwart Oliver; how Richard resigned a station (he burthen of which was greater than the honor ; how he ' became a wanderer abroad, while Dorothy sat sorrowfully in the old manor house The boll in reserve for him was the following :—He was ushered into the cabinet, where only kings are allowed to enter.

Richard and Dorothy were already billing and cooing as all lov. era will. In (he green lanes of old Hampshire they wandered logether, wrapl in pleasant thoughts, and in a world ol their own making became oblivious to the civil strife which still agitaud the kingdom.— Little cared the humble-minrled Richard thai his father bore the title of Lord Gene ral, or that foreign nations began to look up to bim as the foremost man in all England. We can picture the reluctance with which he parted from Dorothy when ordererd up to London to resume his duties, and the tearful misgivings of both lest they should never meet again. To some extent, indeed, their (ears were not without foundation.- Both fathers were willing for the match, but they were both men of business, and were not to be moved by lovers rhapsodies while a difference existed on the score of marriage settlements. If Oliver had achieved, in publio estimation, a higher rank, Mr.'Major was still the richer men ol fhe two, Oliver had, indeed, a large interest in certain estates  ted by order of parliament, which he offered to make over to his son, but Mr. Major was a cautioua man, and regarded the legal tenure of auoh properly raiher dubi. ous. So negotiations went slowl v on; Oliver stipulating that the manor of Hursley should be settled on the young couple, and .Vlr.
