the Kentucky Gazette the following
description Of the last moments of John
U. Waring, who was shot at Versailles,

named Richardson. son Of Samuel @.
Richardson, whom Waring killed some
years ago at Frankfcr;.-Dettd.
The ball entered just above his left
eye, which was forced from its socket,
and rested on his cheek. 1t passed
throgh the root Of his tongue, down
his throat, and perforated his lungs,
Immediately after recovering from a
few moments oflnsensibfity, h, made
signs or writing mat rails; finding he
was misunderstood, with all the force
be could muster, he feebly articulaied
the Notwithstanding he wished
his will written, lawyer was called
in for that purpose. Waring refused
his assistance, drew the materials to-
ward him, and wrote number Of notes,
requesting the attendance of his sol-in-
law, papres from the Clerk. offices
and his own reslden De, etc etc. Hav
ing procured what he required, al
though bleeding rapidly at short inter
walls from his nestris and mouth, with
out displa, ing the slightest symptoms
of pain, ne proceeded calmly and siernly
with his final task, at which he was en-
gagged uutil late at hight. He compile.
led some unfinished contracts, entered
into new one, gave receipts settled
accounts, brought suit, drew up his
will, and arranged ali his worldly az
fairs, as far as it was possible.
The scene, whilst thus engaged
has been described to US as the mos
melancholy and appalling one which
was probaly ever witnessed. Th,
in ternal hemorrhage compelled him t.
remain in sitting posture, from III,
time he was wounded until he died

proiruded eye, which rested in ghaslly
prominence upon his cheek, he piled
his pen with relentless determination.
Lilies last sands were ebbing fast
minutes had becmoe 10 him things of
the last importance. Yet, precious as
the fleeing moments were, his tabors
were greatly heightened by the occa-
sional rapid election Of gore (roml~ his
mouth, bespat,ering and obiterating
what he had written. Pushing the
blood stained sheets aside, his task
was again resumed with mistaken firm

physicians deemed possible, and had
still time 10 have paid some attention
10 his eternal Welfare. Our iniorma-

as unlorgivingly as he had lived. Ii is
said that one Of his family begged, on

One Of the richest things that the
Legislature undertook 10 do, was TO
pledge this State for men AMI money
TO Mr.. Polk TO fight out the Oregon con-
troversy. II is little difficult To de-
eide what The honorabes mean by it.
The better opinion seems to be, that
they intend it as "a compliment to the
President If that be the fact, il will
doubtless CRATE upon the sensibililies
Of the President, in some sort, like the
smile of GASEOUS on the heart of Cp-
sar. 1--WE ask Caesars pardon) That
worthy, in remarking upon the SIMS
ter symptoms about The stern senator,
said:
Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such
a sort,
As If he Knocked himself, and scorn-
ed his spri.
That could be moved to smile at any
thing
And the President doubtless without
further explanation than the resolu-
ton on his face affords, will conclude
that the Legislature was making
mouths at him! Smiley, gallant
captain as ever trod The Hall, boxed its
ears tremendously for It's impudence,
IN coming, snnFing, and before its face
was washed, from the greasy SCOT
of Reputation, into his presence, as a
legislator; and rated it for its ridicu'
lous and absurd preteniions Harrl-
son, from Pamela, man Of strong
sense, we'll miGed with the wag, got up
and in manner of peculiar serious
ness, took MIR. Smiley severely to task
for cutting The thing as ridiculous and
absurd" ssFor my part said he IN
conclusions Il see nothing at all either
ridiculous or absurd, in piedgtng The
faith Of this State for men and money.
But sir, # they ever call on us to RE
DEEM the pledge. that will be very ri
dicuIous and absurd indeed.

The Kingston Times in noticing the

will they be idiots enough 10 pay the
warrants?!!! Shall he send the 400
TO Jail-or will they kick The Marshals
one by one, and defy The Po'cer Of the

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE BUSHEL OF CORN.
BY 4. S. ARTHUR.

Farmer Gray had a neighbor, who was not
the best tempered man in the world, though
mainly kind and obliging. He was a shoe
maker. His name was Barton. One day, in
harvest-tiIne, when every hand on the farm
was busy as a bee, this man came over to
Farmer Gray's, and said, in rather a petulant
tone of voice
Mr.. Gray, | wish you would send over
and drive your geese home.'
why so, Mr.. Barton what have my geese
been doing!' the farmer said in a mild, quiet
tone.
They pick my pigs ears, when they are
eating, and go into my garden; and | will not
have it" the neighbor replied, in a still more
petulant voice.
i am really sorry for it, neighbor Barton;
but what can dog
why, yoke them, and thus keep them on
your own premises. It's no kind of a way to
let your geese run all over every farm aud
garden in the neighborhood.'
But l cannot see to it now. II is harvest
time, friend Barton, and. every man, woman.
and child on tho farm, has as much as he or
she can do. Try and bear it for a week or
so, and then | will see ifI can possibly rem
edy the evil
Il can't bear it, and ! won't bear it, any
longer the shoemaker said. 80 if you do
not take care of them, friend Gray, ! shall
have to take care of them for you.'
We'll, neighbor Barton, you can do as you
please farmer Gray replied, in his usual qui-

broke into your field, and destroyed your
corn?'
'Oh dear! Is that itl Oh, no, no, friend
Barton, | cannot allow that item in the BILL
yes, but you must. 1t is perfectly just
and | shall never rest until it is paid
Il can't indeed. You couldn't help your
hogs getting into my field; and then, you
know, friend misunderstanding his tone)
My geese were very troublesome
The shoemaker blushed, and looked con-
fused; but farmer Gray slapped him familiar
ly on the shoulder, and said, in a lively,
cheerful way
Don't think anything more about it, friend
Barton. And, hereafter, let us endeavor to
do as wc ,oouH be done Jy; and then every
thing will go on smooth as clock work.
But you will allow that item in the billy
the shoemaker urged, perseveringly.
Ooh, no; | couldn't do that. | should
think it wrong to make you pay, for my own
or som of my mems negligence in leaving
the bars down.
But then (hesitatiugly) those geese. l
killed three. Let ii 90 for them
If you did kill them-we ate them. 50
that is even. Mono; let the past be forgot
ten; and ii it makes better ~neighbors and
friends Of US we never need regret what has
happened.
Farmer Gray remained firm, and the bill
was settled, emitting the item of corn
From that time forth, he never had a better
neighbor than the shoemaker. The cows,
and hogs, and geese Of both, would OCCASION
ally trespass-but the lrespassers were al
ways kindly removed. The lesson was not
lost on either of them,-for even farmer Gray
used to feel, sometimes, a little annoyed when
his neighbor's cattle broke into his field
But in teaching the shoemaker a lesson, no
had taken a little of 1t to himself.

THE QUAKER.
BY ]. G WHITTIER.


BY ]. C
The Quaker OF the olden time!-
How calm and firm and true,
Unspotted by its wrong and crime
He walked the dark earth through!
The lust of power, the love Of gain,
The thousand lures OF sin
Around him, had no power to stain
The purity within.
With that deep insight, which detects,
All great things in the small,
And knows how each mans life affects
The spiritual life of all.
He walked by faith and not by sight,
BY love and not by law;
The presence of the wrong and right,
He rather felt than saw,
He felt that wrong with wrong partakes,
That nothing stands alone,
That whose gives the motive, makes
His brothers. sin his own.
And pausiug not for doubtful choice
OF evils great or small,
He listened to that inward voice
Which called away from all.
Oh Spirit of hat early day,
SO pure and strong and true,
BE with us in the narrow way
Our faithful fathers knew.
Give strength the evil to forsake,
The cross of Truth 70 bear,
And love and reverent fear to mako
Our daily lives a prayer!

THE SLEEPING V

'Ah, sleep alas the days at hand
On tree and flower the morn dews stand;
One hour, and on heavens arched blue
The risen sun will spring to view,
And thou must greet him from the wave,
Midst flowers, land dews,and light-a Slave,
Yet sleep-that hour is all thine own,
And dreams may on its wings be strown,
Bright as if waited from afar
BY genii guests of moon or star,
Brighter than on his eyes may rest,
The slumbering lord Of east and west.
Dream wretched one-but not Of time,
Nor cen thine own remembered climo!
Dream not of mother, wife or boy,
OF c~hildhood's games, or freedoms Joy;
Forget thy native valleys stream
Forget thy fathers house-yet dream!
Dream of the world beyond the grave,
IT'S broad, / ut in it walks no slave!
Of Heaven, where many mansions be,
OF Him, who orders sne for thee,
OF Him. who notes thy tears and signs;
Dream thus and comprehensive, %ariso!'

THE SEASONS.

THE SEASONS.
First, Spring came tripping on from Southern
bowers,
And strewed her sunny path with fragrant
flowers,
Babe the still brook from out its torpor wake,
And freed, from icy bonds, the captive lake,
Then smiling back upon the smiling land,
Resigned the rule to Summers warmer hand.
Earth, in the genial change rejoicing much,
Glowed like a picture meath a Guides touch,
And ~lovelier grew, with each succeeding day,
Till autumn seized the sceptre and the sway.
She, to enhance the beauty Of the scene,
Tlnged with rich brown each leaflets brill
liant green,
Cast DER the land her sad yet lovely smile,
Then sank beneath dread Winters chilling
vile,
Dread Winter, who, with no kind feelings
warm,
Evoked, in e%nvious rage, the blighting storm;
And, conscious that no gift she could bestow,
To equal Summers, Springs or Autum's
glow,
Blew spitefully her freezing breath on all,
And strove to crush Earth meath her snowy
pail.
