ANECDOTE OF HAMILTON.

In January, 1895, Alexander Hamilton resigned
his seat in the Cabinet and retired to private life It
was at the Presidential mansion that the Ex-Secreta
~ Of the Treasury came into the room where Mr.
Lear, Major Jackson and the other gentlemen Of the
Presidents family, were sitting With the usual
smile upon his countenance he observed: "Congrat-
uIate me- my good friends for | am no longer pub
lie man. the President has at length consented to ac-
cep my resignation, and am once more private
citizen" The gentlemen replied that they could
perceive cause for rejoicing in event that would
deprive the government and the country Of the late
Secreary's valuable services. Hamilton connued
q am not worth exceeding five hundred dollars in
the world; my slender fortune and the best years of
my life have been devoted to the service Of my adopt
'lcOunlry; rising family hath IFS claims" Clan
chg his eye upon small book that lay the table,
be took ii up and Observed "Ah, this is the Const-
iaIon. Now mark my words: so long as we are n
young and viruous people, this instrument will bind
10 together in mutual welfare, and mutual happiness
lot when become old and corrupt, it will bind US
no longer - Gusts Recollection.

Night developed comes, ard every cleaning star
lis silent place assigns in youder sky;
The moon walks forth, and fields and groves afar,
Touched by her light, in silver beauty lie.
In sclunn peace, that no sound comes 10 mar,
Hamels and peopIed cities sumber nigh;
while on this rock, in meditation's mien,
Lord of the unconscious world, sit unseen
How deep the quiet Of this pensive hour
Nature bids labor cease, and all obey.
How sweet this stiffness, in its magic power,
Der hearts that know her voice and own her sway!
StllGess unbroken, save when from the flower
The whirring ocuts takes his upward way;
And mumuring FER the yerdant turfis heard
The passing brocIor leaf by breezes stirred.
Borne on The wings of nights refreshing air,
unfetered thoughts with calm reflection come;
And fancy $ train, that shuts the daylight glare,
To wake when midnight shrouds the heavens in
gloom.
New, tranquil Joys, and hopes untouched by care,
within my bosom throng to seek home;
While far around the brooding darkness spreads,
Aud DER the soul its pleasing sadness sheds.

Wccip the following striking paragraph from a
Communication in the New York Tribune. We pity
The man who carfread 1t, without his breast thrilling
With sympathetic response to the sterling sentiment
contains.
There is not on earth more noble and sublime
Spectacle than a virtuous woman, alone and unfriend
"a IN the cold world, struggling bravey against the
towns OF fortune and the temptations of a society
n mad with riot and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and mantuin-
ING herself pure unconaminated and above repproach
perhaps, too, feeding the hungry months OF her
a'heress chiIdren-by the labors Of her own hands;
Y nd the man who would rob her of one single penny
subsistence thus acquired, deserves to be scourg
Nea with scorpions. Proud and happy are we, at all
mes and under all circumstances, to stand up the
y Aender and champion of such accomplishing, IN
e'endng virtue and beauty-fnr virtue is beautiful,
n ad all the charms that ever flashed intoxica.on to
n oe senses from womans face and form are hdeous
VIC" m0ckehes, if virtue commend them not to the

Al all events, it is proper that our leading demo.

has been thus employed. We ask the proud and

Charleston Mercury will abuse their patience by
such reckless misstatements, or how long they will
suffer the Mercury to abuse their confidence We
say further to the American people, how long will
they suffer morbid curiosity after not what is

had been written, or that Mr.. Polk intended to
write such letter, until il was published in the
newspapers, as any man in the country who never
had heard of it. Mr.. Walker was never consulted
by President Polk about writing the letter, or about
its contents.
President Polk, in that letter, reiterated his opin-
ions on the tariAr-opinions which he had often
before publicly avowed, and upon which he had
acted during the period when he was a member Of
Congress Mr.. Welker did not know, even, that
Mr.. Kane intended TO write, or that he had written
any letter, Of any kind, on any subject Mr.. Polk,
until some time after il had been written; and never
had any communication, either in conversation or in
any other manner, with Mr.. Kane, about wri-
ting any letter on the tariff, any other subjectio
Mr.. Polk. The whole story, as we have hereto.
fore said, is basely false.
(. And now, we ask, what appear TO be the facts Of
the casei That the correspondent of the Mercury,
who has issued such fables and gross misrepresen,a
