Henry Clay never said any such thing. Let the

The dying old Statesman.--Balletin.
1--WE do not conceive that it viii add one
inch to the statute or strength of General Cass,
whether Mr.. Clay ever expressed this preference
or not But since it is referred to by an nfuen-
tial party organ as SANDER" we have inquir-
ed into the facts. 1t as true to the whole extent
as stated by the Jefferson Club Gov. Foote
when last in this city, in the presence of several
gentlemen, stated that the remark made in
his presence and to him by Mr. Clay. Now Mr..
Clay differs with General Cass on almost every
question; but presume that a patriot he
prefers General Cas- to either Webster or Scott
We all know thai Mr. Clay never had any conf
dence in Webster. T"
We clip the above from the New Orleans Coz
rier. Three or four weeks since found the Cos
sip above floating around through tie papers, and
it at the time seemed not improbable, we gave
it a place. Knowing that Cass years since had
written letter to Clay which at the time com
manded the respect and won the kind regard of
that gentleman, and believing hat Clay had be-
come soured by the treatment which he had re-
celyed from the old aehag party and being as near
lly all intelligent men now are, satisfied that The
American or Tariff system is pretty much of a
humbug, we concluded that he naturally prefer
red Cass to either Fillmore, Webster or Scott for
the Presidency. But now, since the paternity oil
this gossip is traced to Governor Foote we are
quite sure it gross humbug, designed for spe-
cal purpose by that splendid fabricator of conf
dental communications and prince of private as
surances and $50 held me God y asseverator

The reunion of parents and children in heaven
we'll as of other friends, is a cheering md de-
lightful thought And the idea that our departed
friends may sometimes be near US or wait to well
come us the borders of the spirit land, is we'll
suited to impress tie mind.
A little GIRL in family of my acquaintance,
lovely and precious child, lost her mother at an
age 200 early to fix the loved fealeaes in her re-
membrance. She was as fraii as beautiful, and
the bud Of her heart unfolded it seemed as if
won by that mothers prayers to turn instinctyely
heavenward. The sweet, conscientious and pray
er loving child, was the cherished one of the be
reaved family But she faded away early She
would lie upon The lap OF the friend who took
mothers kind care OF her, and winding one vast
cd about her neck, would say, = Now tell
me about my mama - And when the Oft told
ale had been repeated, she would ask softly,
'',ake meiuto The parior. want to see my mama.''
The reques5 never refused and the atie c. ion-
ate child would lie for hours contentedly gazing
on her mother portrait. But
'Pale and wan she grew, and weakly
Bearing all her pains so meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
As the trial hour drew nearer. y
That hour came at last, and the weeping neigh
bors assembled to see the child die The dew Of
death was already on the flower, as its life sun
was going down. The little chest heared family
-spasmodcally.
. Do you know me, darling? ?" sobbed close to
her ear the voice that was dearest but it awoke
no answer.
All at once brightness, as if from the upper
world, burst over the childs cooress countenance.
The eyelids flashed open, the lips parted, the
wan, cuddling hands flew up. in the LITTLE one s
last lmpusive effort, as she looked piercingly into
the far above.
Mother !" she cried, with surprise and trans
port IN her tone-and passed with that breath in
to her mothers BOSOM

bed Of joyous death
