BY JOHN G.. GIVEN.1
LIFE.
BY REV. J. O FDRaAS.

Life is like the gushing stream,
Flowing from the wooded mountains +,
Spar king in the noon-tide beams,
Bubbling up from crystal fountains.
Life is onward in it's flow.
like the calm. m mlj jeStic river,
Gathering ST rength while here below,
From its motions ceasing never.
As the stree m flows to the river,
AS the river To the sea,
Life is flowing on forever,
Reaching to Eternity.
Life il full of care and trial.
While it dwells upon the earth.
And holy self: denial
Fits it for heavenly birth
-Hcavenwurd Tend its solemn marches.
Rising ever, drawing nigh,
To the bright, o'erhanging arches,
Opening to the upper sky

REMEDY FOR CRAMPs.-A correspondent
of the New York San mentions simple
remedy for cramps, which he has tested
in many cases with invariable success
II consists in tieing handkerchief around
the forearm, a little distance above the
wrist and then placing a sick undern- h
and twisting the handkerchief ngl tly. In
minute The cramp win depart, if the
handkerchief hurts let il be slackened, and
on recurrence of the cramp tightened
again.

The Meeting in ,faUor of organi zing
tajas report of the speeches made at the
meeting held in Portsmouth Square, San
Fra ncsco, in favor of organizing a state
government.
Speech of T. Butler KiHg.-Hon. T.
Butler King, after defending congress for
not giving government to California, ap-
pealed to the people Of that territory 10
settle the question of the Wilmot proyiso
forever, by forming a state government.
Said he, we cannot settle it on the oher
side of the Rocky mountains-it must be
settled here. We look to you to selile the
question, by becoming State. The peo-
pie of the old States ardently desire il.
II speak knowingly when | say the ad-
ministration desire 1t; and from extensive
intercourse with the members of the last
congress, | am convinced they are more
anxious for the question to he settled in
this way. You will have no difficulty in
being admitte as state. pledge my
self 10 it, and pledge the administration,
and | think may speak equally confident
ly for the next congress. Form state
government, send on your senators and
representatives, and then admission is cer-
tam. You had representation in that
body. Immense appropriations have TO
be made for public purposes here Mill
ions of dollars will be readily voted by
congress for public building AMI to improve
your II !ers and harbors. You should
have advice in these appropriations, and
in selecting sites for tnelr expenditure"
He then ccmmeatod d, in a play ul mood,
for some time, upon Judge Durnett's de-
nunciations of congress for passing the
bill extending the revenue laws over this
country. He said Uncle Sam had paid
twenty millions of dollars for the country.
He was informed by The collector, that
the revenue amounted TO about a hundred
thousand dollars month, just six per
cent. upon the purchase money paid out
in appropriations was taken into consider
alton, the government was likely 10 be a
/ loser so far as dollars and cents were con-
cerned. 1t was that great bay, which
/ would command the trade of the Pacific,
that caused the purchase of the country.
| If the country had been barran waste,
! the government would have paid the same
/ to secure this har6or. He then alluded
in elegant terms 10 the mineral resources
| of the country, and It's future destiny
/ SalQ we WOuIQ SOOU nae q COlll-
! pleted from the great father Of waters TO

] 90 in six days TO St. Louis, sleeping all the
way, and in eight TO New York; and IN
eight minutes. in less than ten years, we
would, through the lightning rods, talk
with our brethren ON the Atlantic ocean.
He closed with glowing eulogy on the
| flag OF our country. which was hung aloii
in the square where the crowd were as
sembled.

A highly interesting debate occurred in the Sc
nate to-day, upon a motion offered by Mr.. Fine, to
order to third reading certain bill authorizing
,he construction of railroad bridge across Lake
Champlan, within the borders Of this State, and
near the boundary OF Upper Canada. A railroad
is In course of construction from Ogdensburg to
Boston, via Lake Champlain with the permission
OF the Canadian Parliament, the company would
be enabled to cross at ST. Johne, IN Canada /; but
that permission has been withheld and the com.
pany have no recourse bat to build bridge, or to
cross the lake by means Of terry. The bill
granting them leave TO construct draw-bridge.
has passed the House OF Assembly, but it has been
opposed IN the Senate bv some OF the most expert
enced and eminent Senators--among others, by
Senators Cooke, Whallon, and Wilkin. The de-
bate which occurred yesterday was interesting
and instructive Ar. Whallon led of In opposition

the bill in position from which 1t will be hard to
Tesus citate II.
The bill authorizing the construction Of paral-
lei railroad between Syracuse and Rochester will
not probably pass the Senate.
Appearances indicate that an extra session Of
the Legislature will be called. The House are
anxious to make tremendous fuss over the Code
OF Procedure, and members persist In asserting
their readiness to work grautously after the expi
ration of the hundred days. C.

WASHINGTON, MaIcI ~, IolS
The President upon Original Tdylor Men.
A pretty good story Is going the rounds just now,
showing the Presidents opinion of Taylor men,
and giving somewhat of clue to the recent ap-
pontments. One thing Is certaln-that 1t possesses
At least much truth as nine tenths of the stores
afoat.
A Mr.. -, being somewhat dissatisfied with
the way IN which things are gong, called at the
White House yesterday, and after shaking hands
with General Taylor, gave vent to his ieelngs:-
"Mr. President, Pve called to see you about
matter which is of much importance to your
friends, if not to yourself You see, my father and
myself, and most OF the people where we live,
came out IN favor OF your election In preference to
that Of the great statesman OF the party. We sup
ported you, General, and ran some risk, IN bring
ing forward a military man IN preference to such
a statesman as Clay. Now, alter all that, 1t does
polntments you have made should be from the
ranks OF that section of the party which did all in
Its power to defeat your nomination., and If they
absolutely didn't vote against your election, did
nothing to forward it. Now, General, we want
to know the reason OF all this?
The President, after some reflection, replied
why, you see, sir, some one has sent me an
autograph letter OF General Washington, IN which
