are nowadays accustomed to speak of a dissolu-
ton of our glorious Union cannot but make good
men grieYe. When once the language of rever-

Indifference the slightest irritation, real or IDEAL
produces that of malediction

be severed, without producing, besides other meal
cuable convulsions, the horrid crimes and woes of
war between the fragments? How would theiine

repellant spirit of the two classes of states be so
great that they cannot dwell together under the
existing Union, is it to be expected that they will
not treat each other foreign powers after mutual

disunion? One side could not afford to yield, and
the other would not concede privilege valuable.

ANECDoTE OF GEN. JACKSON.

In,conversing with young gentleman from Ten
nessee the other day, with whom Gen. Jackson was
something of favorite, he related to us the follow
ing anecdote of the late Ex-President, which we
presume our friend will pardon US for publishing
Towards the latter part of his life, Gen. jackson
became member of the christian church. The
clergyman who performed the ceremonies Gu the
occasion of his admission, feeling some doubts as to
the sincerity of the old Generals repentance, ques-
toned him rather clearly concerning his spiritual
condition:
"Have you forgiven your enemies? ?" asked the
minister.
81 have" answered the General
"Have you forgiven Henry Clay?

"And have you pardoned seba Smith, the author
of Major Downing's letters?"
"No (raisng his hickory,) by the Eternall and
never will" responded the old hero, with charac-
teristic piety.
The minister was entirely satisfied, and General
jackson was admitted to all the rights and privile-
ges of the church. Peoples Press.

BY N, p. WILLIS.
My mothers voice! how often creeps
Its cadence on my lonely hours!
Like healing on the wings of sleep,
Or dew on the unconscious flowers,
l might fol get her melting prayer,
While pleasures pulses madly fly,
But in the still, unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing by,
And years Of sin and manhood flee,
And leave me at my mothers knee.
The book of Nature aud its print
Ofbeanty on the whispering sea, -r
Give still to me some lineament,
OF what have been taught to be,
My heart is harder, and perhaps
My manliness has drunk up tears,
And there's mildew on the lapse
or few miserable years,
But Natures book is even yet
With all my mothers lessons writ.

Beneath moonlight sky Of spring,
When earth was garnished like bride,
And night had on her liver wing
: When the bursting buds aud growing grass
With wild heetness thronged the night
When all was beauty, then have 1,
With friends on whom my love is flung, -
Like myrrh on wings of Araby,
Gazed upon where evenings lamp is hung.
Aud when the beauteous spirit there,
Flung all its golden chain,
My mothers voice came the air,
Like the light dropping of the rain,
And, resting on some silver star,
The spinit of bended knee,
rve poured deep and fervent prayer
That our eternity might be-
To raise in heaven like stars at night,
And tread living path of light.

Home.

There is no word that has so much heart thrilling
and sweet music in its import, the simple, yet
meaning word home-that word which conveys to
the wounded heart much ease. When roaming far
from our native home in distant and strange land
among those who are strangers to us, ah, many are
the bright visions we call up before our mind; and
as they pass in rapid succession before our ever
busy imagination, cannot help exclaiming
"there is no place like home."-What are the sun
ny skies of Italy where the noblest and greatest
sons of glory first drew their breath, the vine clad
hills of France where clusters golden fruits grow
in rich profuson to him whose heart yearns for the
loved ones at home, and whose prayers even now
are ascending to his God with hope that he will be
spared safe return to that sacred and holy spot
where his best affections twine with undying tenac
ity around his childhood's home.
"Bnt frail child of mortality, thy home is not to
be always in this world of joys and sorrows; it is
but for day. passes by and is numbered with the
uncalled past; here we are strangers, but God in
His rich mercy bids look above this sinful world
to far more glorious home than that of which
earth can boast There it shall always be bright
and beautiful-there shall we meet to part no
more, for God shall wipe away all tears, there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying
neither shall there be any pain, for all shall
be peace and contentment"
| Then give me home far up in the skies,
| Where hope never wihers-where love dies:
The home Of the christian where pilgrims best,
And the wanderer Of earth forever shall rest'

FOND OF JoKE,-We have seen many incor-
rigible jokers who would put themselves to almost
any trouble to enjoy joke, but the following caps
any thing of the kind we have yet seen:
The Philadelphia Dispatch tells story connect
ed with the whipping post of Delaware, where a
man received twenty lashes "well laid on" for
some offence of which he had been convicted a.
gainst the good people of the commonwealth.
The culprit instead of blowing like ten thousand
when the sturdy constable applied the lash, laugh
ed all the time immoderately in the midst of his
groans and oaths, which made the angry officer lay
on still harder, without, however, lessening in the
least the extraordinary hilarity of the prisoner.
On giving the twentieth bow,with all his strength
which made the blood spirit, and broke his whip
the constable could stand it no longer.
We'll, here, mister said the offended officer,
I've done my duty, and I can't lick ye no more
but I'd just like to know what it is that's so funny q
Funny ha! ha!' roared the other. Funny
why it's the best joke l ever heard of Ha! ha!
ha! Excellent good! ha! ha! Whyl Oh! ha!
hap said he, as alternately his pain and meriment
predominated.
Funny! Well, what is it t?-what is the joke o.
The joke!' now roared the other, why it is ex-
cellent You've got the wrong Smith! l amt the
man that was to be whipped It's the other one!
Now you will have to go it all over again! Real
ly it is too good! You must lick the other mani
Ha! ha? roared he, as they took him back to pris-
on to dress his wounds

ADULTERATED DRUGs.-We have been trying for
fortnight, to find room for abstract of report
to Congress on adulterated drugs. But there is SO
much matter pressing upon our columns which can
not be delayed, that we must defer any detailed
reference to the subject at present. Meanwhile
we may remark that Dr. Edwards of Ohio, who
has charge of the subject and has in preparation an
elaborate report not merely upon adulterated drugs
but upon patent medicines The commissioner of
the patent Office has furnished him list of all tine
patent medicines on record in his Office, with sy
nopsis of their ingredients! The report will of
course be published, when the public will be able
to Judge of the character and composition of what
constitutes ninetenths Of the medical food of the

THE ROMANCE OF THE GOLD FEVER.

The ROMANCE OF IHE GOLD fEfER
The New York Evening Post among other touch
ing incidents, relates the following as having oc-
Cured on the departure from that city Of the Pey
tona for California:
"As usual large crowd had gathered on the
pier including several females, to bid last adieu
to relatives friends and lovers. One girl who had
probably seen IL summers, particularly attracted
our attention She was beautiful blonde, cloth
ed in plain though neat dresS-with remarkable
rosy cheeks-a lip the bee might swoon on, and
soft dark eyes, little dimmed by the gather
ing moisture of sadness. While others were hur-
rying to and fro, she stood on the edge of the pier
gazing earnestly at the vessel now oosing from her
moorings Her eyes were fixed on handsome
young man leaning over the taffrail, rugged out in
California Dress who was no less intently watching
the fair girl he was leaving.
Just as the vessel began to move in the water,
and recede from the wharf, the tears unbidden star
ted from their repose-tears, in whose dumb grief
there was powerful eloquence, filed her large
melting eyes, and streatchng out her hands to him.
in a most thrilling plaintive whisper, she said
"Charley! amt you sorry noa0 ?'' The color fled
from Charley's cheek, his pale lip quivered mo-
ment, and then he turned, without speaking, to
hide himself and his tears in the cabin; and we
turned away thinking that the young man per-
chance was leaving behind him. in tat fond and
loving heart a treasure of more worth than all the
wealth of California, and thinking too were we of
those lines Of
''When eyes beaming,
What never tongue might tell;
When tears streaming
From their crystal we
When hands are link ed that dread to part
And heart is met by throbhing heart
Oh! bitter, bitter is the smart
Ofthem that bid farewell.''

make others happy, or be Grabbed and make every
one around you miserable? The amount of happ-
ness you can produce is incalculable if you show a
smiling face, kind heart and speak pleasant words
Wear pleasant countenance; let Joy beam in your
eyes, and love glow on your forehead There is
no Joy like that which springs from kind act or a
pleasant deed-andy you may feel it at night when
you rest at morning when you rise, and through
all the day when about your business.
"a smile; who will refuse a smile,
The sorrowing heart to cheer?
And turn to love the heart of guile,
And check the falling tear.
A pleasant smile for every face,
OH tits blessed thing;
1t will the lines of care erase,
And spots of beauty bring"

BooKs-The best books talk to us with US, and
give US their most precious thoughts. Books are
the true Jewelers.. They give to all who will faith
fully them, the society and the presence of the
best and grestest of our race. No matter how poor
I am; no matter though the prosperous of my own
time will not enter my obscure dwelling Iflearn-
ed men and poets will enter and take up their abodes
under my roof-if Milton will cross my Threshold
to sing to me of paradise; and Shakespeare open
to me the words Of imagination, and the working of
the human heart; and Franklin enrich me with his
practical wisdom-I shall not pine for want Of in
tellectual companionship, and may become cul-
tivated man though excluded from what is called
the best society, in the place where 1 live.

Night.

The tolls and excitements of the day are over.
The fervent heat of noon is past, the maddening
pursuit after gain is suspended, and mankind seek
in the arms ofsleep temporary asylum from care
of mind an enerVaton of body. Even from guilt
benefcent nature withholds not the solace Of re-
pose, and passing through the "ivory gates of
dreams' the days of youth, of happiness of inno-
cence in shadowy glory fit before the soul Insup-
portable indeed, would be the heavy tribulation
which, in our pilgrimage through life we must en-
dure were it not for those intermittent seasons of
rest which it is like the privilege Of the houseless
wanderer and the palaced lord to enjoy. At night
gentle night, is the nurse that woos the toexhaus
ted frame to steep its cares in calm forgetulness.
The wise provisions of nature indicate the season
of repose, and her benfcent laws are revereneed
and obeyed by all save the being for whose comfort
and happiness they were chiefly promulgated.
When the sun withdraws from the heavens, and
the earth is shrouded in darkness the labors of in
dustry cease; the flowers closing their petals sum-
Der, defended from the chilling dews of evening"
and that sweet watchman of the grove, the nightin
gale, thrills forth in wild and varied cadences the
parting song. Cynthia, and her glttering train of
stars, come forth and hover about the earth, and
its children like fair and holy angels, preserving
them from the influence of the powers of darkness

mans mother is the representative of his Maker.
Misfortune and even crime, set up no barriers be-
tween her and her son. While his mother lives, he
will have one friend on earth who will not listen
when he is sIandered, will soothe him in his sor-
rows, and speak to him of hope, when he is ready
to dispair Her affection flows from pure fouu-
tain, and ceases only at the ocean of eternity

1t is that spirit which creates wrong where none
