JoHN Qu1sor ADAMS, the old man elo-
o. s. Journal.

john Quincy ADAMS, the old man elo-
ouent, spoke of Gen. Scott as follows:
"In an experience of more than fifty years
in the public service, have never met a man
of more axAlted virtues. He possesses high
er claims upon his country as a paci6cator
than warrior; the lustre of his services in
preserving the peace of the country, surpass-
ing the briIIiancy of bis military achieve
ments."
Testimony like shat. coming from such a
man as John Quincy Adams, should out
weigh all the base and malignant attacks
made upon the old Hero, BY the Locofocos
Of the country.

The abuse and slander of these men only

made bis mark on the history of his country,
and the age, that can never be erased. His

give receipt like the first; instead of lea
ding, 'the money shall be returned on the
decision of suits now pending, OR on the
decision Of the Attorney General,' he
wished it to read AND the decision of the

Rogers were unwilling to, and hence their

to proceed to the Floating Palace-take

ent asks US what is the principle 81
Artesian wells. He says be often reads
OF boring for ater''through solid rock,
but cannot understand by what agency
the water, when reached, is forced ia
the surface.
Has our correspondent ever passed
through railroad-cdtting? If 50, he
has probably noticed that the rock does
not lie . horizontally, but at an angle.
In other words. it dips more or less
to SO use term IF the geologist. Now a
strata of rock will sometimes extend for
scores, even hundreds of miles dip
ping in this Way. before it finally turns
again, and re-appears at The sur bee,
even wien it does not turn, which is
not always. Ii our correspondent will
imagine region of country lying in
such strait, and if he will farther i'm
agine this district to be so rocky that
water will not collect in it, but run of,
in this case he will have all the in
gradients for country of Artesian wells,
provided there is the additional cir
cumstances, that out side this strata
or, to carry out the smile, under the
dish, the soil is gravelly, or sandy.
For In such case, the water from
rains will sink into the ground and pass
under the strata; there it will remain
until the rock il bored through, when
it will rise, of course, to the surface
This is what an Ariesian we'll is.
Any person may make an Artesian
well, on a small scale. by taking a COM
mon tin hand basin, and inserting it in
a bed Of earth which is itself contained
in larger vessel; then pouring water
upon the earth between the basin and
the vessel in which it is placed, and
when the earth is completely saturated
perforating the bottom Of the basin,
for, In tins event,th water will rise;
IN and get to the top Of the basin or the
level Ut the earth. In this rule of ex.
pertinent, the tin, Of which the basin is
made, roughly represent one strata of
rock, and the larger another strata.
1t WY be seen that the same principle
raises the water to the surface, in the
case of an Artesian well, as eleyates /,
the waite: in our houses-the pressure
OF water Itself being the motive power;

Evening.

There are two periods in The life of man
in which the evening hour is peculiarly in.
terestiDg-in youth and in old age. In
youth we love it for its mellow moonlight,
lis millions of stars, its thin, rich, and
shooting shades, its still serenity; amid
those who can commune with our loves,
Irvine tho wreats Of friendship, while there
is none to bear us witness but the heavens
and the spirits that hold their endless sab
bath Therefor lock into the deep bosom
Of creation, spread abroad like a canopy
above US, and look and listan till we can
almost see and hear the waving wings
and melting songs of other worlds. TO
youth, evening is delightful; it accords
with The flow Of his light spirits, the rerv-
our OF his fancy, and The s%oflness of his
heart. Evening is, also the delight of va.
rious age; it seems an emblem 10 the tran.
quill close of busy life-screne, placid,
and mild, with The impress Of its great
Creator stamped upon il; it spreads its
quiet wings under The grave, and seems
TO promise that all shall be peace beyond
il.

A Touching Incident.

We heard yesterday Of one Of the most
touching and sorrowful incidents that, in
the whole course of our life, WV have
been called upon 10 record.
An aged moiher-a woman Of seventy
years-lefi her home in the Emerald Isle
some ten weeks ago 10 seek the abode Of
her children, who are now residents Of
Louisville.
After a tedious passage, and the trouble
incident to a long journey, she reached
this city from New Orleans last Monday
night, on the board the Alex. Scott, and
o she was surrounded by her chill
dren.
Her son was the Orst 10 see her, and
fastened TO inform his sister of their mo.
theirs arrival. They met-(ihe mother
and the daughter) in one long embrace,
which only ended as the inirm mother
sank with excitement to the floor. She
had swooned away in the rapu,urous en-.
joyment of beholding once more a daugh.
Ter SO long lost 10 her. She pronounced
a blessing npon her children, and then
tainted away. Whenever restored to
consciousness, the sight of her children
and the pleasing recollection of their pres,
ence, would overcome her with emotions
and again and again she would faint in
their arms.
Physicians were called 10 her aid, blu
could afford no relief. For two days she
continued in this condition until worn gu
with fatigue and excitement, exhausted
nature gave way, and the mother now
sleeps well" in the green earth of heJ
new made home. How strange, how sor
rowful and how touching, are the Incl
dents Of lile.-LouisuiM Democrat.

Eurtrp
Cradle and Coffin,

Two reeeptacles awaiting,
Meet the needs of human kind,
Each with its appropriate lreightiug,
Each with garlands intertwined;
Cradle, where the child reposes-
Coffin, which the dead encloses.
Cradle, placed in marriage chamber,
Swaying, swaying to and lro:
Up its sides the children Chamber,
Toiling in a rosy glow;
Whispering angels OFT descending,
Sweetest dreams the child are leading.
Coffin, midway placed, and dreary,
Cold, funeral draped, and still,
And its tenant resting weary,
With the death damp stealing chill,
Shrinking shapes, grief struck and weeping,
Round the couch are Vigils keeping.
Cradlo-conin-intorvening,
0, the long and aching years!
Slowly learning times dark meaning,
Eyes out.lonking through their tears;
Kindly seems the death cold stiffness,
Genial seems the rest and chillness.
All the hooks where self was hidden,
Memory searches to the core;
Till dark spectres come unbidden,
Through the lattice and the door;
Come, unbraiding our omissions
SelE-cou yiciing our C commissions.
Loving deeply, fondly, truly,
We ininitude den and;
Yielding up, spontaneous. duly,
Free will offerings, heart and hand;
Hence this anguish is but telling
Of the depth whence love was yelling.
