IMPREssIvELY ELOQUENT.-Mr. Prentice,
of the Louisville Journal, in beautifully
written obituary on the death of his late
associate editor, Thomas H. Shreve, ESQ.,,
who died of consumption, says:
I" We, the surviving editor of the Journal,
feel that the prime of our life is scarcely
yet gone, still, as we look back upon our
long career in this city, we seem to behold
near and far only the graves of the priced
and lost. All the numerous journeymen
and apprentices that were in our employ
when we first commenced publishing our
paper are dead-our first partner, our second
partner, and our third partner are dead;
and our first and our last assistant are also
dead. When these memories come over us,
we feel like one alone at midnight in the
midst of a churchyard, with the winds sigh
ing mournfully around him through the
broken tombs, and the voices of the ghosts
of departed joys sounding dolefully in his
ears. Our prayer to God is that such
memories may have chastening and pur-
flying and elevating influence upon us, and
fit us to discharge better than we have ever
yet done our duties to earth and to heaven"

EXHIBITION OF FILIAL LOVE BY AN INDIAN
A correspondent of the Stockton Journal,
writing from Don Pedro's bar, Tuolumne
county, rleates the following touching Incl
dent which exhibits in q strong degree the
filial love of the Indian.
A few days since quite an accident oc-
CURED here. A party of these Indinas, hav-
ing struck a good lead, commenced, in imi-
tation of their white brethren, excavating
the bank, but had not proceeded very far
when from their ignorance of this mode of
mining, not having left sufficient supports,
the upper part of the bank caved in, and
two men Of their number were killed, and
little girl very badly crushed. The child
was properly cared for by the American
miners in the vicinity, and the remains of
the victims were attended to by their Indian
relatives, who built a funeral pyre, while all
hands, white, red, or black, Europeans,
Africans, Chinese, Kanakas, and Indians,
were mustered to attend the fiesta. And
now occurred an instance of devotion un-
looked for among race who stand so low
in the scale OF humanity as the poor Cawil-
los, (Ka-we-gas.) When the flames were at
their height son of one of the objects of
those funeral rites, in an agony of grief,
rushed into the blazing pile, to take one
last, fond embrace of his old father, and was
with difficulty rescued by the bystanders
Poor, noble, affectionate fellow; though
severely scorched by the flames, he had full
filled the prOmptings of his heart, and
Bestowed his last embrace,
"'E'en while the ashes of his sire,
Begrimmed his clammy face"

Il NEVER knew such general favorite
as uncle REUBEN was, not one of your
universal uncles- uncle to every body
but my own great-uncle-my grandmother
brother He is not fictitious but a real
character, as many man in the Old
Colony has had abundant reason to be-
lieve. 1t was treat to have him come
in to spend an evening, whether he talked
of politics, or as he used to express it,
small, like woman My mother never
stopped her spinning-wheel for any man
but him, and when he took off his hat Ia
sure indication that he intended to spend
the evening,) her face would gradually
brighten into DRUMMoND-light While
he tarried she seemed to ache with delight,
and for days after she would continually
break out laughing, and laugh till she
cried. was chicken then, and wonder
ed why she cried and laughed so; but l
was comforted to find that every body did
the like. Yet Uncle REUBEN was hardly
ever known to laugh, and bat seldom to
smile. The women and children all loved
him-a sure indication of a good heart
and he loved every body. -Knteksr booker

her to confess how it happened that the two

that every movement of ours had been commit

on my coming to her, told them to make no at
tacks until the End of the month: that she
had made mistake, thinking it was my turn

error she had put some drugs in the wine of
