Douglas remarked recently, in conversation
which he had with Mr. Calhoun. some three
wears since, Mr. {. said. that he looked upon
Frank Pierce, as one Of the most reliable

No doubt Mr. Calhoun thought so He
thought every man who wen, for slavery and
nothing else was ''rel;a6le" and patriot "
With such views he could hut Ike Pierce

TO the right Of petition, and his constant and
Uniform a.tion while in Congress and since
IN behalf Of slavery and slavery extension,
that he was nominated. He acted with Ath-

Our hearts deep flower cups yield.
A sample still they gather swift.
And leave US in tho FIELD.
And some hy by on pInions

And some fly on with dropping wing
OF sorrows darker hue.
And as we speed each minute
That God TO MS hath given,
The deeds are known before His throne
The tale is told in heaven.
And we who talk among them.
As one by one departs.
Think not that they arc lowering
Forever round our hearts.
Like summer bees that hover
Around the idle flowers,
They gather every act and thought,
These vicwloss angel hours,
And still they steal tho record,
And bear il far away
This mission flight, by day or night,
No magic power can stay.
So teach mo, Heavenly Father,
To spend each flying hour,
That, as they go, thoy may not show
