than half performed. I am poor prin-
ter, and the only child of her in whose
arms [ wish to die :"
" You shall go replied the captain, III
L lose every passenger for the trip :"
BY this time the whole crowd of pas
sengers were grouped about the boat,
with their baggage piled up on the path,
and they themselves awaiting the decis-
lonof the captain before engaging their
passage. A moment more and that de-
cision was made, as they beheld him COM
ing from the cars, with the sick man
Graded in his stout arms. Pushing di-
rectly through the throng with his dying
burden, he ordered a mattrass to be
spread, in the choicest spot of the boat,
where he laid the invalid with the care
of parent. This done, the captain di-
rected the boat to be prepared for start
ing.
But new feeling seemed to possess
the astonished passengers--that ofshame
and contrition at their inhumanity.-
With one common impulse they walked
aboard the boat, and, in few hours af-
ter, another committee was sent to the
captain, entreating his presence among
the passengers in the cabin. He went;
and from their midst arose an aged,
white-haired man, who, with tear-drops
starting in his eyes, told that rough, sun
embrowned man, that he had taught
them all a lesson-that they felt humbled
before him and that they asked his for
giyeness. 1t was a touching scene. The
fountain of nature, and its waters welled
up choking the utterance and filling the
eyes of all present. On the instant
purse was made up for the sick man, with
a generous contribution from the cap
tain, and the poor invalid was started
with God speed p on his way home
to die in the arms of his mother !"
The true-hearted captain of that boat
was Gen. SAMUEL D. KARNs, and the a.
bove incident is worth remembering

Incident to be Remembered.

There's something good in human nature after all -
BULwER.
A few years ago, while passing over
the Pennsylvania State improvements,
the writer was witness of one of those
scenes of genuine kindheartedness which
makes the heart thrill with an un-
utterable blessing, and fills the mind with
involuntary consciousness that there is
something of the angel stilr' i'll our COM
mon nature.
At point this side of the mountains,
where occurred the transhipment of pas
sengers from the west, was moored ca
nal boat, waiting the arrival of the train
ere starting on It's way "through" to the
east. The captain of the boat, tall
rough, sun-embrowned man, stood by his
craft, experimenting the labors of his
men, when the cars rolled up, and few
moments after, a party of about half a
dozen gentlemen came out, and deliber-
ately walking up to the captain, address
sed him something after this wise-"Sir,
we wish to go on east-but our further
progress to-day will depend on you. In
the ear we have just left is a sick man,
whose presence is disagreeable. We
have been appointed committee by the
passengers, to ask that you will deny this
man passage in your boat. Ifhe goes,
we remain-what say you?" Gentle.
men," replied the captain, 81 have heard
the passengers through their committee.
Has the sick man Representative here"
TO this unexpected interrogatory there
was no answer, when without moments
pause, the captain crossed over to the
car, and entering beheld in one corner,
poor, emaciated, worn-out creature,
whose life was nearly eaten up by that
canker- worm, consumption. The mans
head was bowed in his hands, and he was
weeping. The captain advanced and
spoke to him, kindly. "Oh sir" said
the shivering invalid, looking up, his
face now lit with trembling expectation,
s.are you the captain-and will you take
me! God help me! The passengers
look upon me as a breathing pestilence
and are SO unkind. You see sir, | am dy-t
ing-but oh if | am spared to reach my
mother / shall die happy. She lives in
Burlington, sir, and my journey is more

Psalm Of Life
WAct the heart Of the youag ,ooman sad +
the old maid.
BY HENRY w. sHoRTFELLow.
Tell me not in idle jingle,
Marriage is an empty dream!"
For the girl is dead that's single,
And girls are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
Single-blessedness a fbi
Mans thou art, to man returnest"
Has been spoken of the rib.
Net enjoyment, and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
But to act that each tomorrow
Find Us nearer marriage day.
Life is long, and Youth is heeting,
And our hearts, though light and gay,
Still, like pleasant drums are beating
Wedding marches all the way.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
But heroine, a wife
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant, -
Let the dead Past bury its dead
Act-act in the living Present!
Heart within, and hope ahead
Lives Of married folks remind US
We can live our lives as well,
And departing, leave behind US
Such examples as shall tell"
Such examples, that another,
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn unmarried brother,
Seeing, shall take heart and court
Let Us, then, be up and doing,
With heart on triumph set;
Sill contriving, still pursuing,
Aud each one husband get!

No Philadelphia papers of this week have yet

tience is a great blessing but in this particular
we have lost all we laid claim to. The very fact
of not having received any papers from fhila,

for sIsGR-cide on the part of any editor. How
ever, don't expect to be guilty of ''laying Tio-
lent hands" upon ourself, but if We 90 find out

The Late Celebration aud the United AmerI-


10 The Editors Of The NeD. York Tribune:
perceive in your issue Of this date a commun-
cation headed " Nativism Revioed," in which the
"Order Of United americans" is basely calum
mated
As q member of that Order beg leave to call
your attention and through your sheet the stten
lion Of "a Nsturalized Citizen" to few facts.
The Order of United americans have for this
two or three years past been the only body OF
men Tho have by any public demonstration
shown their veneration to the character of Wash.
ineton. and this year If | mistake not, had
through their ackno wledged head The Chanceryl
commenced a series of arrangements for its pro-
per observance when the Committee were ap-
poiptcd by the Common Council; and ii the gen.
tlemen composing said Committee chose to sp.
noipt Gen Storms our marshal. as the Grand
Marshal of the day-the fault, if any, lies with
them
If" 4 N1turaliSed Citizen will refer to one
of vour issues about two weeks since, he will had

reported the first, and consequently obtained the
right of the line, position due TO them lin my
opinion as being the only ones who for years past

Cen,a frn,n Gen. RooIe.

Mr.. Senator FOoTE has been imparting
wisdom to the Union Safety Committee,
and to Tammany Hall, during the last few
days He has been the guest of the City
and the lion of the hour. We did not think
it worth while to report his speeches, be-
cause Gen. Foote has put himself largely
on record since he entered the Senate in
December, l947. Indeed, avery large por-
ton Of the Congressional Globe since then,
is a mere footing up of his ideas. We will
not do the Senator the injustice to imagine
that be has changed his opinions of men
and things in so short time, and therefore
take few extracts from his Speeches re-
ported to our hand in Ihe Congressional
Globe, and generally revised and corrected
by himself. They will be found as inter-
estiDg as a correct report of his speeches
at Niblo's and Tammany could possibly be.
They have a strong smack Of higher
law" about them. In justice, however, to
our Union Safety Committee, we will say
that an appeal TO the higher law" by hang
ing q Senator of the United States, or a
Judge Of the Supreme Court, is not en-
dorsed or approved by them, thoughts only
when the higher law" leans TO Liberty
and Humanity that it meets their express
reprobation. The extracts are from she

First and Second Sessions of the last Con-
gress, and the pages, unless otherwise indi-
Gated, refer to the Congressional Globe

It's failure.
The House River and Harbor bill was
reported without amendment.
The California Duties bill was passed,
with an amendment giving the new State
100000 out of the duties collected while
she was Territory. This will be quite
a help to her prematurely dilapitated
finances.
In the HOUSE, there was a morning talk
about Dry Docks, ending in nothing.

feated as out of order. When was ever a
