HE EVENING OF LIFE. Amid life's varied
streams, and sources of transport and pain often
mingled and often alternating, we learn at least
to prefer those milder and more certain or en-.
during FpIeasures which calmly soothes us, in
the hustle, the labor, and the excitement that
engage and animate our youth and mature
strength. Agitation and emotion at length lose
their charm; they disturb more than they amuse
us. AS age advances TO it's sober evening, we
perceive and appreciate the value of conscious
life without pam; of sedate tranquility; of re-
posing, yet not inactive, thought of sensibility
without perturbation; Of patient hope; Of resting
:noveability; of sensations that please, but do
not agate; of intellectual EXAMINATIONS; and Of
those solemn aspirations OF sacred foresight, of
prospective gratitude, and of humble reliance on
the great mediatoral Benefactor, which close our
mortal days with true dignity, and make even
dissolution an inestimable bessing-SAUon Itsr-
ner.

Punctuatty Of Gen. Washington. When Wash
ington assigned to meet Congress at noon, he
never failed to be passing the door OF the hall
while the clock striking twelve Whether
his guests were present or NOT, he always dined
at four. Not unhequenlly, new members of
Congress, who were invited to dine with him,
delayed until dinner was half over, end he would
then remark, "genlemen, we nra punctua here,
my servant never asks whether the company has
arrived, but whether the hour has"
When he visited Boston in 1889, he appointed
8 O'Clock A. M. as the hour when he should set
out for Salem, and while the old South clock
was striking eight, he was mounting his horse
The company of cavalry, which volunteered to
escort him, were parading in fremont ST. after
his departure, and it was not until the General
reached Charles river bridge, that they overlook
him. On the arrival of the corps, the General,
with perfect good >humor said, "Major -,
thought you had been too long in my family,
not TO know when it was o'clock"

COMMUNICATIONS.
COMING HOnnn

We statedasome time since that Mr. nTublepl
berg, our minister at the court 0E Vienna, would
probably seen return from his mission. to talse
charge of the, ,@democracy" Oh fold Berks,n and
stay, if possible, the tremendous revolt in.p pro-
gress FROM the loco foco ranksin that county, to
the glorious wing cause
The editoEof the ''Reading Advertiser Says,
in his paper of Tuesday last; that a letter had
been received from him during the preceding
week, confirming statement, and that he may
be looked for by the LIST proEimo.
Here will be room for another favorite instru-
ment of executive power to- receive a foreign
mission, with a splendid out 1T of $4,000; years
salary of the same amount, and "a, 800 return
salary, maasng together S23,500 to reward one
of Van Buren's subservients+-One who happily
accorded in every opinion leld by the executive
But it will be the s'last OF the Mohegans.o
As the mission had its pretended origin in
effort to promote the tobacco trade of this coun-
try, we believe Gen. B. c. Howard was first de-
sIgnated by the party 5ha recipient of this
snug mission and salary, as'a reward for his SER
vices to thu President and the party, but was
obliged to make room for ,Muhlcnberg, whose
rival, Wolf bad been provided for, and he, of
course, dared not be passed by without n sop in
the treasury pan, although be is a maa1of great
wealth. Nuremberg, having now completed his
tour of the continent at the expense OF the peo-
pie, we may safely predict that Gen. Howard
fore Martin bids final adieu to his efglory" and
the pomp of the White House. 1t will moi, how
ever, take place-at least such is our opinion
until all the terms of an implied contractin such
cases made and provided have been literally full
filled.* As soon as the elections over, hit or
miss, he will be prepared to visit Martins au
gust brotaeT, the emperoBef Austria; and take his
ma jesty by. the hand foE the first time. Yaw,
yaw; "7s0aLS Ue7To7ls."
Gen. Howard will mt, in all probability, be
received with the same wonder and delight as
was Installations predecessor" who had it in
his pover to write home to his German friends,
that ''tfc court were surprised to hear with what
Auency he spoke the language of Seine Kaiser
liche Majestet"-his-i imperial majesty"
Mr.. Muhlenberg vial, no doubt, edify the pub
lie after his return, with an elaborate reporseon
the statistics of tobaeco-the quantity smoked
by males and malas-the value of the trade,
and other matters connected veith the bject
of his missions nothing Of tchich has yet trans
pired
~For the information Of distant readers il may not be
imprOperto state hat Mr. Howard is, thisIme,
ddate of the loco dcos for the Presidential electoral
college, and candidate to Representative party in
the Senate of Maryland.

appointment of an individhnkso situateN. Unjust
now say, that until Gen. jackson otherwise as
serts, am constrained to, balieve that ha could
not have been ignorant Of fact, SO conspicuous
in the annals OF our countrys as that OF the de-
fault of Edward Livingston, Esq, Attorney of
the United States, in the District Of New York,
during the administration of Mr.. .IkiIarson, to
the amount of about 100000
1t was IN the train Of thessame thought and
argument, that addueed the appointment Of Mr..
Swartwout to the Office Of Collector of: the most
important port in the United States. as one of
most important and injurious example. His par
ticipation In the schemes of Colonel Burr was
fact Of such universal notoriety that supposed,
and yet suppose, that no man, the least CONVEX
SAINT with the history of the country, could be
ignorant of it. But it was not upon Gen. jack
sons knowledge of that fact; it was upon the
fact itself that dwelt.
! 1t is now said that the appointment Of MIR.
Swartwout was recommended by citizens of New
York. | know nothing of these rscoHimenda-
tons Whether they ware cause or eftect-whe-
ther they were gotten up to produce or to give
color and cover to the appointments. previously
determined to be made-their secret history only
could disclose. The appointment accustomed ge-
neral surprise among the friends and foes of the
administration, at the time, and tile sequel de-
monstrates how unwisesit was,
1hese topics OF my ADDRESS To the convention
on Monday last, have been selected by General
Jackson for comment and animadversion. He
was not present on the occasion. He has made
no application to me for a correct account OF
what | actually said, but has been centented to
rely upon 'bsing informed by whom, with what
motives, and with what objects, Ihave no means
of conjecturing. Whether his ingormer may not
be some friend of Mr. Van Buren,, who, iE the
present desperate state of his political fortunes,
wishes to bring the General into the field, and
to turn the tide of just indignation ON the part
of the people from the Generals prctege, the ex-
hibition of his name only would enable the pub
lie to decide.
With regard to the insinuations and gross cpl
thetS contained in Gen. Jacksonls note, alike i'm
potent, malevolent, and derogaiory from the dig
nifty of man whoha filed the highest Office in
the universe, respect for the pnblic and for my
self, allow me only.to say, that, like other SINH
lar missiles, they have fallen. harmless at my
feet, exciting no other sensation than that of
scom and contempt. III. CLAY.
