refused. He threatened to send five

old Gothic convent, knocked away

better than TO send his men. He

1really think those friends are wrong
Who say-strong drink will make you
STRONG;
The stag, the bull, the horse meet,
Are creatures docile. strong, and fleet;
Yet water, sparkling water, serves
To quench their thirst and brace their
nerves.
And they are jesting, sure, who say
That drink, strong drink, will make me
GAY;
Each warbling bird that pipes a song,
Tells me more plainly they are wrong:
For who can be more gay and free,
Dear little merry birds than ye?
They undervalue natures wealth,
Who say strong drink would give me
health;
The flowers are springing every where
So pure and fragrant, fresh and fair;
Their hearts and vigor they sustain,
With draughts of dew and pools of rain.
/ think I never understood
Strong drink would make me wise and
GOOD.
If I'm 10 shun all evil ways,
And serve my Maker all my days,
Surely must betimes begin,
To leave off every cause of sin.
OH then strong drink I'll bid adieu
Forever and at once, to you!
And he who makes all things his care,
Will guide my feet from every snare;
And give me wisdom, truth and sense,
To choose the path of Temperance.

A touching incident toek place g
few days since which is worthy oI
record, as it shows of in glowing
coiors the intensity of a mothers
love, and the important results that
may spring from a triAing circum-
stance:
An elderly lady. with two young
female companions, stepped into
Whitehurst's Daguerreotype Gale
ry, and for some time examined the
numerous specimens that decorate
the walls of the elegant establish
ment, commenting on their beauty
and guessing the names of many
that they thought they recognized.
On the centre table were large
number of pictures, and among them
that Of a young man about 25 years
Of age, OF fine manly features. The
old lady happened by chance to
open the case which contained this
picture, when her eyes became fixed
upon the Iifeless face, and her fea-
lures assumed an ashy, death-like ap-
pearance.
"MercifuI heavensI" exclaimed she,
still fastening her gaze upon the pic
ture while the tears coursed down
her cheeks; "look, girls-here is
Robert-poor Robertp'
The girls eagerly examined the
portrait, and agreed that it was the
very image OF Robert.
"Sir," said the old lady, address,
ing Mr.. Whitehurst, "hov did you
come by this picturel.-who is it taken
for?-where is hel-can ! not see
him?'
The artist replied to all the eager
questions by stating that some weeks
previous a young man called and
wished to sit for his daguerreotype,
which he intended TO send TO his
mother and sisters, whom he had
not seen for several years. This
was duplicate of the person.
"What was his namel" anxiously
enquired The old lady.
81 really do not know" replied
Mr.. Whitehurst, "but think | can
find it out by referring TO my regis
ter"
This was quickly done-the name
was found. 1t was the son of the
Did lady, and the brother OF the two
girls. He had left his familyia Viz
yinia at the opening OF the Mexican
var, and joined those chivalrous spir-
is who fought and bled so bravely
or the honor OF our country. Moth
ng had been heard Of him since the
lay OF his departure; and the family
lad all believed him dead. The JOY OF
he old lady was boundless, she kiss
d the picture over and over, and
ffered all she was worth for it
Vhitehurst generously presented it
o her, and her gratitude seemed to
now nc bounds.
A day or two afterwards she an
ounced 10 Mr.. Whtehurst that she {
ad found. her son, who resided in
his city, and again thanked him for
he happiness she now enjoyed.

~ DR.. DUNCAN, of Cincinnati

H DR.. DUNCAN, of Cincinnati,
who formerly made some noise in
Congress. but who for some years
past has been left at home, has be-
come Editor Of the Daily Dispatch,
wherein he seems inclined TO make
the fur fy-and not all coon-fur,
neither. He is out on the Conven-
tion system of nominating candi-
dates, which doubtless tends every.
where TO generate great abuses, but
especially where a party has large
and iDvincible majority, as his party
has in Hamilton county. His leader
in the last Dispatch at hand begins
after this fashion:
"PoLITIcALG GAMBLERs.--If we were
clear of about two omnibus loads Of
political gamblers, who iniest our
party in this county, we would have
but little trouble in effecting an or
ganization that would be lasting, and
would secure a minority to our
Democratic ticket-a majority this
Fall, larger than we have ever had"
We thought they formerly elected
bad, malignant, foul-mouthed fell
lows to office from Hamilton, and If
they find any worse to choose now,
it is certainly high time they had
radical reform.
Seriously, there is no doubt-there
can be none--of the grossness OF the
evil which the DR.. opposes, but does
he oppose il for the public's sake, or
his ownl If the public's, he must be
in favor Of the honest, safe and Re-
publican District System-the best
remedy ever yet devised for Conven-
ton abuses. Let the people of
Hamilton choose each Judge, Sena-
tor, Commissioner, Representative,
&C., by a separate district, and the
evil would be greatly abated-al-
most cured. We havn't yet OBJ
served the DR.. out in favor OF the
District System.

CANAL SrEAMER.--A successful ex.
pertinent at running small steamer on
canal, is noticed as follows, by the
Syracuse IN. Y. Journal:
Steamboat ArrivaI.-The steamer
Eureka from New York, came into our
harbor, yesterday afternoon in gallant
style. She is an unique craft, carries
her single wheel in the centre, which
prevents the washing of the banks, and
makes s miles an hour on the canal and
7 on the Enlargement. Her smoke pipe
is capable Of being lowered when pass
ing under bridges. We look for the
establishment of regular communion
tons with the commercial metropolis
without delay.

"If we are not mistaken the
News FROM CALIFORNIA which The
Tribune publishes in full this morn
ing will stimulate anew the passion
for emigration. The widest dreams
as to the wealth Of that marvellous
region have not surpassed the reality
as exhibited by the advices brought
by this steamer and the others which
have arrived since the beginning OF
the Summer. 1t may now be re-
garded as certain that California and
Oregon will furnish a greater guam
tiiy Of gold than all other sources
whence gold is now procured, and
furnish il for a less amount of labor.
And when machinery and science
come TO be applied on a large scale
TO the business Of Mining-or rath-
er Of separating the metal from the
rock-we shall, if we mistake not,
see results surprising all present
calculations. This will, no doubt,
soon be done, and in view Of it and
other facts, there seems to be good
reason for supposing that the depre-
citation in the relative value Of gold
which has often been anticipated
from California, but not upon sufi.
GENTLY careful estimates, will really
take place. And whatever may be
the ulterior consequences OF such a
change in the proportion between
the precious metals and the necessa-
ries of life, it is plain that for a long
time it can only give activity TO ai-
rairs and sustain property and busi-
ness Of every sort against the infu-
snce Of causes which might other
wise calamitously depress them.

H Virtue is both a title and an
estate; a title the most exalted, be-
cause it is God who confers it; an es-
tate the most rich, because it endures
forever. Envy may not derogate
the title, because it is written in the
book of Heaven; and fraud cannot d.

'Tis night, wander forth alone,
No sound now breaks the calm serene,
The heavens are gemmed with twink
ling light,
How bland the air, how sweet the
scene.
On such night bade farewell,
To those dear friends loved so we'll;
Sad, the hour which tore apart
Kindred friends and loving hearts.
The hours I've passed in social Joy,
When happy days around me shone;
Tho deep afiictiOn can destroy,
The remembrance never can be gone.
But most when sorrow deep and great
Overwhelmed my heart with keen
distress
In that sad hour each friendly heart
With kindness stroVe to make it less.
How oft the gushing tear doth start,
From the deep fountains OF my heart,
Sad memories glide in gorgeous train
Through my aching, fevered brain.
But with gratitude my hearts impressed,
And ever in my mind I'll bear,
The kindness | so oft received
From valued friends so Justly dear.
Still one is left TO cheer me up,
In my darkest hours OF gloom,
My Mother-still thy name hath power
Thy daughters inmost soul to move
Henceforth her storm-tossed bark of
life,
obedient to that name must prove;
So, guided safe by pilots hand,
The vessel wrecked may gain the
land.

| p The New York MORNING
STAR has the following bit of Ro-
nance which is by no means impro-
bable:-
In the packet ship, from

two weeks ago, very beautiful wo-
man, about 80 years old, having a
fine curly headed boy about Eve
years OF age with her, and being ac-
companied by young moustached
man, Of elegant dress and easy man.
ners, who appeared to be Of some
tender relationship to the beautiful
and interesting stranger. They stop
ped for three or four days at the AS
tor House, from which they removed
to an exquisite villa in Hoboken.-
This was most luxuriously furnished,
and money seemed no impediment to
the qualification of cultivated tastes
of the parties. They strolled, Of
evenings, along the banks Of the no.
bic Hudson, and deeply impassioned
dialogues were the customary accom-
paniments of their recreation.
On board the Canada, during her
fine and rapid passage might be seen
a tall man, of grave demeanor and
noble proportions. He was eminent
ly aristocratic in look and bearing.
He spoke but little during the pas
sage. Something pressed heavily at
his heart, and he could not enjoy the
voyage or society OF any kind. He
too stopped at the Astor; made in
quiries after certain lady. child, and
gentleman; tracked them to Hoboken,
and discovered his OWE brother, the
seducer of his beautiful wife, and
the destroyer Of his peace forever.-I
He returned TO Europe with his dar-
ling boy, leaving the guilty pair to |
pursue their course OF sin and shame
as best they might. These parties
may be met daily in the EIysian |
Fields, seeking to drown remorse in
the enjoyment q Of each others So
ciety. The cries of the lady after
her adored child are sometimes ex-
tremely frantic. She wishes she had |
never been born.
