HEADLEY'S NEW WORK.

Lives of Winfield Scott and Andrew
jackson, by j. Y. HEADLEY. vol
I2mo with Portraits. Uniform with
"Napoleon and his Marshals." Sl,25.
Scott and jackson are here placed together
AS the two military men who have made the
deepest impressions on their country since
the time of Washington. They both achieved
brilliant reputation in the war of 1872 and
by the battles of Chippewa, Niagara, New Or
leans, etc. gave their country a reputation at
home and abroad and though differing widely
in some characteristics they were very similar
in others. The author has not only sketchcd
the biography of each, but has given faith
full and graphic description Of the brilliant
battles in which they were engaged. The
biography of Winfield Scott, which const-
tutes the greater part of the volume, is full
and authentic the materials for it having been
derived from public documents and from
many officers who had served under Scott. 1t
presents to the reader also a panoramic view
oft brilliant campaign of Mexico, embracing
the storming and capitulaton of Vera Cruz,
the battles ofCerro Gordo, Churubusco, Con-
treras, Molino del Rey, Chapultepec, storm
ing of Mexico, Trinmphal Entry, with de-
scription of the scenery, personal incidents,
etc. The author has fully sustained the rep
utation acquired by A" Napoleon and his Mar
shals, and other works, of which over 20O,-
600 volumes have been sold.

VERMONT CENTRAL RAIL Road
The Stockholders of this Road met at
Mortified on Tuesday last, for impor-
tant business.-The meeting was large.
ly attended, and the chief feature of
interest was the verbal report of the
investigating committee made by w.
Raymond Lee, Fsq. In regard to it
and the subject matter the Boston
Journal says:
Z" 1t occupied nearly two hours. In
regard to the books of the Corporation,
the committe state that there has been
want of system.-Thc stock list has
been found very incomplete, but it is
now brought into correct state.-The
bond account record is also in a very
imperfect condition, and it is not easy
to account for all the bonds which have
been printed and issued. Mr.. Quincy
has received many thousand dollars Of
bonds which do not appear on the
books, and has slso been charged with
$4,000 of bonds which he never re-
ceiyed. Mr.. Belknap has also receiv.
ed $22, 900 of bonds which were not
brought into account in the settlement
of his estate. The committee suppose
that those bonds were taken by Mr..
Belknap for sale in the streets, as he
was in the custom Of doing so. The
published statements of earnings are
not born out by the facts, but the ex-
penses have been fairly stated.
The report then goes into the con-
nection of the President and Directors
with the corporation, and from the
record shows that they have done
nothing to render them liable to the
charges of peculation and robbery, so
freely made in some published state
ments. On the contrary, all their
charges for services are found to be
fair and reasonable. They decline to
speak at present in the matter of Mr..
Quincy, stating that on a question in
volving such serious consequences, they
prefer investigating all the facts before
expressing an opinion. Various other
matters were considered in tie report.
Among them the location of the road
through Northfeld, and the machine
shop there, both being favorable to the
action of the Directors in the matter.
The receipts of the year ending May,
1852, were 100000. Expenses,
$854,0OO. Since May, 1852, the in

The Old Door Stone.


A song, n song for the old door-stonc,
To every household dear;
That hallowed spot, where joys and griefs
We're shared for many year,
When sank the sun to his daily rest,
When the wild birds song was DER,
When the toll and care of the passing day
Annoyed the heart no more,
Then on that loved and timc-worn spot
We gathered one by onc
And spent the social twilight hour
Upon the old door-stonc.
How sweet to me do memories come
OF merry childhood's hours,
When we sped bithly through the fields
In search of budding flowers;
Or gathered berries from the bush,
Or bending greenwood tree,
Or chased the light-wingcd butterfly,
With pcaling shouts of glee
The freshest hours in Mcmory's book
Was spent at set of sun,
My weary head on mothers knee,
Upon the old door-stonc.
That mothers face, that mothers form,
Are craven on my heart,
And of life's holiest memories
They form the dearest part
Her counsel and instructions given
OF friendship, love and truth,
Have been my guardians and my guides
Through all the ways ofyouth;
And yet seem to hear again
Each loved and treasured tone
When in fancy sit me down
Upon the old door-stonc.
Long years have passed since mother died
Yet she is with me still,
Whcthcra toilcr in the vale
Or wandcrer on the hill
Stllwith me at my morning care,
Or evenings quiet rest,
The guardian angel by my side,
The k.ndcst and the best.
A mother now, | often strive
To catch her thought and tone,
For those who cluster round my knee,
Upon my own doorstSnc.
And oft beneath those clustering vines,
Have kindred spirits met,
And holy words brcathcd softly there,
Vows all unbrokcn yet;
And Friendships formed, and plans devised
And kindly pledges given,
And sweet communions there begun,
Far-reaching into Heaven
Oh those who met in love, " lang sync,"
In life's wide paths are thrown,
Yet many turn, with longing hearts,
Back to the old door-stonc
Years, years have flown since those brigh
days,
And all the world is changed,
And those who loved most kindly then
Are by the world cstrangcd;
Some fond hearts, too, then full of joy,
Are cold still this day
forsakeh plans and withercd hopes,
Lie strcwn DER all the way,
And strangers feet tread those old hills
Where pattered once our own,
And spend the pleasant twilight hour
Upon the old door-stonc.
The old door-stonc, the clustering vine,
Oh may they long remain.
And may the household band that's left
Meet there but once again;
Meet there not to weep DER pleasures past
Or canvass joys to come;
Meet to revive the sacred loves
Once centcred in that home.
A brother and a sister sleep,
Our parents both are gone;
Oh it would be a saddencd hour
Upon that old door. stone.

A Tale for the South and North by Rev.
B. II. HALL. Author of Something

SC. vol. l2mO. 75c.

This work, while il advocates the cause of
the African, would do justice to the South.
1t would awaken sympathy, but not excite
cratA, nor turn pity for the Negro into rem
geanee against the White, not inculcate
treason under pretence Of lore and fyeedOn
1t would have Tore do the work ofhdte. 1t will
be marked with the characteristics of the au-
thor, so well known TO the public by his pre-
vious works, Of whom it was said in the pub
lication Of " The New Purchase" that "He
was master of many styles, and had stepped
TO the highest round at once" The work is
no defence Of slavery but it would be bal
aHee-icheei, not to stop, but to concentrate,
equalize, and direct other motions, It treats
the uityaism of the North to the Ler falionis.
The writer Witnessed much that he describes.
and real persons are introduced under new
names, so the work, while it will possess the
interest Of fiction, is not only true to life, but
in many Of its scenes and characters is true
in fact.
Will be Published in October.
