Notc tettest thou thy servant, Lord, de
part in Peace" 1.-The day has now at las
arrived at which the great and good cid
man of the Hermitage may thus recognize
that the ripe fullness OF his time has a
length come,-that his public life is now {
thing consummate and complete, that i,
has not been vain fragment, broken of
abruptly in failure and disappointment, iE
regard to all that had been its main labor,
aim and achievement. Such would have
been the case had the attenuated feebleness
Of his thread OF life been parted at any
a,omelt in the interval between the ELECTION
of 1910 and that which has just been deci-
ded. He has not been doomed 10 the hard
fate of the general who fell when the battle
of his country seemed lost, and closed his
eyes upon her broken and routed squad
rons, unsoaced by the subsequent spectacle
of their rally, and gallant recovery Of the
even,ful day. How anxiously have we not
all watched the reports of the still feebler
and feebler health o. the old chtef-hoping,
as the object next in interest after the great
public issues involved IN the struggle, tina,
he might be spared yet little longer, to
see that his country was safe, and that he
had not lived in vain. And now, after the
decision of the general result, and the first
gratuations prompted by it, on grounds
higher than any possible personal ones, the
next reflection that arises is that of warn,
satisfaction and gratitude, that General
Jackson has lived 10 witness II.
For this election was part and parcel
Of the Whole long struggle which has so
deeply agItated the country for the las,
four, we may indeed say the last five Pre-
sidentia terms. From the beginning al
most 10 the very end, Jackson and Clay
may be said io have been the iwo principal
leaders and chiefs Of the two opposre par
ties and politics. For the las, eight years,
indeed, Jackson has been in retirement;
but it has been still bis old battle, length
ened out beyond his own personal parIici-
patton, which has been carried on by the
successors to his post, his former cenfden-

party, the same ideas. and the same men !:

TO M Y w IF E.

Pillow thy head upon this heart,
My own, my cherished wife;
And let US for one hour forget
Our dreary path of life.
Then let me kiss thy tears away,
And bid remembrance flee
Back to the halcyon days of youth,
When all was hope and glee.
Fair was the early promise, love,
OF our joy-freighted barque;
Sunlit and lustrous, too, the skies
Now all so dim and dark;
Over stormy sea, dear wife,
We drove with shattered sail,
But love sits smiling at the helm.
And mocks the threatening sale.
Come, let me part those clustering curls,
And gaze upon thy brow
How many, many memories
Sweep DER my spirits nowl
How much of happiness aad grief
How much of hope and fear
Breathe from each dear loved lineament,
Most eloquently here.
Thou gentle one, few joys remain
To cheer our lonely lot:
The storm has left our paradise
With but one sunny spot;
Hallow'd forever will be that place
To hearts like thine and mine
IT'S where our childish hands upreared
Affections earliest shrine.
Then nestle closer to this breast,
My fond and faithful dove!
Where, if not here, should be the ark
Ofrefuge for thy lave2
The poor mans blessing and his curse
Pertain alike TO me;
For, shorn of worldly wealth, dear wife,
Am | not rich in thee?

The SIAMEsE TwINs.-We extract from,
The letter of = correspondent OF the South
Carolina "Spartan" the following account
of Chang and Eng, and their families:
" You may be aware that some lew
years since. the Siamese twins, Chang and
Eng. retired from the public gaze, and set
tied down in this county (WhKes) as far
mers. You will also reccollect, that dur
ing last year it was published in some of
the newspapers that they had married two
sisters. This notice was treated as hoax
by some of the journals, and incline 10
think that public opinion settled that the
twins were still living in single blessedness.
To my surprise | End that the supposed
hoax is literal fact; AID that these dis,in-
guished characters are married men! Mrs.

of my personal acquaintance, and are said

THE INPATIENT PROFESSOR The fol-
lowing is given as an illustration of The in
ability Of the American mind to comprc~
bend the mysticism Of the Germans. Pro.
lessor Stowe, in his late address al Bowdoin
College, told an amusing story Of an inter
view between Yankee professor and one
holding the same rank in a German uni
versi,y. The former had been listening
for some to the dicourse Of the latter, and
continually interrupted him for expana-
tions. Thes were given. but they were
even more Difficult, TO understand than the
original exposi,ions. AT last the German,
losing all patience, lifted up both his hands
and exclaimed, with solem emphasis
"Mien Colt! forgif Christopher Columbus

commonwealth TO leave the industry and labor Of lis

been Inscribed to Henry Clay. Nevertheless, grent
his merits in advocating il are, the system dates

either of the two recent Wing laws for distributing

avoided the only reproach that has justly faIlen on
