Young land of hope-tair Western Star!
Whose light hailed from climes atar-
leave thee now-but Irvine for thee
One parting wreath of melody.

From one who feels IT'S sad TO part.
And IF il be that strains of mine
Have glided from my heart to thine,
NV voice was but the breeze that swept
The spirit chords that in thee slept:
The music was not all my own
Thou gavest back the answering tone.

long absent scenes return once mOrel
&here'er the wanderers home may be,
Still, still will memory turn to theel
Brlght freedoms clime-l feel thy spell,
But must say tarewell-hrewelll
On retiring, Madame Goldschmidt was loudly
eheered, and, after withdrawing, returned to ac-

bsen followed. No announcement has been made
Of another concerts Snd as she sails ON Saturday,

Tie New England Anti-SIavery
Society.

The New England Ant-Slavery Society has
held its anniversary at Boston, Edmund Quincy,
Esq. presiding. Among the speakers were the
well-known Mr.. Garrison, and Mrs. Abby Kelly
Foster. The temper of the speakers may be
judged from the following extracts:
Mr.. Garrison referred to the influence of the
Church as controlling the State, and asked what
could be expected of the Church under its present
circumstances-theO Old School Presbyterian Church
being now in session in that Sodom, Gomorrah,
Pandemonium, the very focus pOint-Charleston
the New School of the same Church in session
where nothing can be said in favor of liberty; and
the Methodist General Conference, although in
Boston, doing nothing for freedom, but placing
themselves under the influence Of a slavc-catching
City Government, and going in body to hear tho
great slave-hunter of the country open bis mouth
and blaspheme liberty. Applause and Kisses. l.
ment spending the public money by giving enter
tainment such as the city had given to this body.
S. S. Foster followed, and in the course of his
speech said 1.-THE devil had taken Judges Story
and Woodbury. to HIMSELF" loud Kisses !; which
he cndeavored to show must be true, because, as
he said, should any one present sit as Judge, he
could not do otherwise than assign them to the dew
il for the evil they had DONE Mr.. Webster in
his view would one day be looked upon in no OH
er light than as Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arm
old Kisses.
Mr.. Pillsbury said the Church of America
but the kept mistress of the most damn3 in(iov-
eminent that ever cursed the earth. A emo
ment he said, the streets of Boston are black with
clergyman thick as crows in cornfield-and
what are they doing? All they can do to shut
up the kingdom of God. Daniel WebsterSad the
City Government of Boston wish to use the Meth
odst Geneneral Conference to help them along
with their work. For this purpose DaI6 Web
ster threw sop to the Cerberus of Met SIN in

Trinity in this country and new Trinity Of

Mrs. Clay.

The Washington correspondent of the Pennsyl-
ranian says DO you know that Mrs. Henry
Clay has never visited Washington2 Her domes-
tic character seems to have been formed for the
quiet shade of Ashland and though her woman's
heart beat high when she saw young Harry with
his beaver on, in the midst of the greatest events
that have made his name immortal, yet, by her,
the blessings of home and Of freside were to be
preferred. Now that the statesman is wasting a.
way, her presence would alleviate his sullerings,
and prepare him for his final reckoning. But now
she is too old to come. She could not hear the toll
some journey from Lexington, and she remains, as
it were, a watcher for the fatal news. few days
ago she sent him bouquet of flowers, but when
they reached here they were faded-a melancholy
evidence that both the giver and the receiver
fast fastening to that bourne whence no traveller
returns The old man eloquent, held it to his lips
for a few seconds, and said, with mournfal pathos

his fame That will live forever green in the

but his great history will never be forgotten. Of
him and of his place in the regard of men, in the
dim future, it may well be said -
.sYou may break, yon may ruin the if you will,
But the scent of the will hang round it STILL
This is a very good story in regard to Mrs.
Clay, and we are sorry to spoil 1t, but truth re-
qures the correction. Mrs. Clay then, in her day.
has been one of the gayest and most graceful wo-
men of the Federal Metropolis, and is so remem-
bered by many in the District of Columbia. She
has, however, been an excellent wife and mother,

THE subscriber would respectfully inform the

he has taken the shop formerly occupied by Geo
T. Moore. where he will continue to manutac-
ture all articles in his line of business.
Having learned the business in one of the
large cities, he has brought with him all the arts
of the trade, and is prepared to make the best
articles, as well as the cheapest; and as he does
his own work, and under but light expense, he
can afford to sell at lower prices than the city
shops. In short he can furnish every article in
his line, no matter how stylish or costly, or
whether it be of Rosewood, Mahogany, Cherry
or common Pine. He will also make Collins of
all kinds and attend FUNERALS, whenever his
services may be required.
Persons engaging furniture from him may rely
upon having it well made and good materials.
