The Roman General won an Immortality ofhonor

Jackson, whose whole life was continent? I re-
peat, if lie had been born in the time of Crom-

attacks upon her. knew her well, and that
more exemplary woman in all the relations Of

quiet cheerful and admirable management Of
her household. She had not education, but she
had a Leart, and good one and that was always
leading her TO do kind things in the kindcst
manner. She had the Generals own warm heart,
frank manners and hospitable temper; and no
two persons could have been more happily, to-
gether or made house more attractive to visitors.
She had the faculty. rare one-of retaining

carly recoIec.ious, and to cherished conviction
in this last notice Of the Uernitage-to bear this
faithful testimony to tke memory Of its long
nistress-the loved and honoTod wife Of a great
man. Her greatest enlogy IS in the affection
which she bore her living, and, the sorrow with
which she rnourncd her dead. She died at the
mcnent Of the Generals first election 10 tie Pre-

her death, the surest channel 70 the car and 10

relatives. \ nephew Of her was his adopted son
and heir taking his own name, and now the re-
spectacle master of the Hermitage. another
nephew, Andrew jackson DonclsOn, ESQ, was
his private secretary when President. The Pre-

GorgeY, the Traitor.

To say that it is hated in Hungary, is 70 OK
press fccbly the feelings of the nation towards
him. The concentrated bitterness Of the people,
trodden into the very ground by the opprcssor, is
poured forth on the man to whom they tntrusted
all, and who betrayed them. / give one instance
in an occurrence which happened this spring in
Klagenfurt. Two honUedS-common soldiers
were returning from the regiment in Italy, Ia
which they had been drafted, to their homes, ON
fuFlOugh. They had just money enough to 10
able to reach klagenfurt and there, were utterly
at loss what to do in a strange town, strip
ped of everything, and without any means Of
raising money. Though it sorely offended .heir
Hungarian pride. they at last resolved to beg.
One said that he could not begin, and the other
offered to commence, by trying in O coffee
house, near by. The very first gentleman whom
be asked gave him several silver slrnzigerS. Bur
prisod at such oyerflowing generosity, he went
out and showed his gains to his conrade, and told
him TO go in and try, for if he had good luck,
their begging womb be at an end. The other
went in, and came out soon, joyfully, with his
zwanzigers. They were counting their gains,
when waiter happened to step out, asked them
if they knew who had been so generous to them.
''No," they said. That is Gorgey, the Hung
arian general" Both the soldiers rose up, stroae
into the cofee-house, dashed the money on the
table before Gorgey. "Scoundrei we rather die
of hunger than take kreutzer from you I" and
then left the coffee-house The affair was soon
noiscd about in the hotel, and handsome purse
was made up for the two beggRred soldiers.

He Was then q remarkable man, and had his as

effect of bis high judicial station, nor of the SEN

nor of military exploits, for he had not then
been to war; but the effect of personal qualities,
cordial and graceful manners, hospitabe temper.
elevation of mind, undaunted spirit, generosity,
and perfect integrity. In charging the jury in
the impending case, he committed slight soli-

lodged on my memory, without derogating in
the least from the respect which he inspired /;
ana without awaking the slightest suspicion that

Thou weepest, childless mother!
Ay, weep-'twill ease thine heart:
He was the first-born son,
Thy first, thy only one
'Tis hard from him to part

His small mouths rosy kiss
Then waking with start,
BY thine own throbbing heart,
His twining arms to miss
Ito feel, half conscious, why,
A dull. heart-sinking weight
Till mem'ry on thy soul
Flashes the painful whole,
That thou art desolate,
"And there to lie and weep,
And think the live-long night,
Feeding thine own address,
With acuratc greediness,

And,smiles Of afser-years,
