THE OLD DOOR STONE.

francis d. GAGE, to whose pen we are indebt-
sedfor the following beautiful poem, of the ..Old
Door Stone, !" has written much that the admirers
of minstrelsy might applaud, and nothing that
they can with any kind of propriety condemn
ssThose who are familiar with rural and PASTORAL
life-that happy life, that neither town, nor
over lburdened city, can afford, will find IN the
poem we copy, the reflex of thousand beautiful
scenes, which all ought to be capable of imagining,
though few can describe. The author of the poem
in question, has accomplished all that we could
have deslred.-N. Y. Times.

A song, song for the old door stone,
To every household dear
That hallowed spot, where joys and griefs,
Were shared for many year.
When sank the sun to his daily rest,
When the wild birds song was o'er,
When the toll and care of the passing day
Annoyed the heart no more.
Then ON that loved and time-worn spot
We gathered one by one,
And spent the social twilight hour
Upon the old door stone.
How sweet to me do memories come
-. OF merry chiidhoods hours,
When we sped blithely through the fields
5sr In search of budding flowers,
Or gathered berries from the bush,
Or bending greenwood tree,
Or chased the light-winged butterfly
With pealing shouts of glee;
- The freshest hour in memory's book
Was spentzst set of sun,
Ny weary head on mothers knee,
al Upon the old door stone.
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 of youth;
Aud yet 1 seem to hear again
Each loved and treasured tone,
When / in fancy sit me down,
u ITnon the old door stone.
Long years have passed since mother died,
Yet she is with me still,
Whether toier in the vale,
Or wanderer on the hill !;
Still with me at my morning care,
s Or evenings quiet rest,
The guardian angel by my side,
The kindest and the best.
A mother now, often strive
q To catch her thought and tone,
For those who cluster round my knee,
+. Upon my own door stone.
And oft beneath those clustering vines
Have kindred spirits met,
\ And holy words breathed softly there
Vows all unbrolSen yet
- And friendships formed and plans devised,
asi And kindly pledges given,
And sweet commissions there began,
Far reaching into Heaveni
Obi those who meet in love, "lang syne,"
20 In life's wide paths are thrown,
Yet many turn with longing heart,
Back to the old door stone.
Years have flown by since those bright day
And all the world is changed,
And some who loved most kindly then
Are by the world enstranged;
Some fond hearts, too, then full of JOY,
Are cold and still this day!
Forsaken plans and withered hopes
Lie strewn DER all the way,
And strangers feet tread those old halls
Where pattered once our own,
And spend the pleasant twilight hour
Upon the old door stone.
The old door stone, the clustering vine,
ON may they long remain;
AND may the household band that's left
Meet there but once again;
Meet not to weep DER pleasures past
Or canvass joys to come
Meet TO revive the sacred loves
Once centered in that HOME.
a brother and sister sleep,
Our parents both are gone
Oh! it would be a saddened hour
Upon that old door stone.

Debtor and Creditor.


After the close of the Mexican war and the
cession of treaty to us of Upper California.
the world was astonished by the announce
ment, toward the close of 1848 or the begin
ming of lS49, that immense deposits of gold
had been discovered in that country As
soon as the truth of this report was establish

fiocked to that country There was per-
feet stampede of people from every State in
the Union. Property was sacrificed to raise
money with which to reach this Ell Dorado,
where fortunes for all were supposed to be
awaiting the mere effort to gather them The
Louisville journal presents some interesting
figures to determine. if possible, the question
as to whether the old States are debtors to
California for her gold. or California debtor
to the old States for her operatives and pro-
ducts 1t is supposed that from 1S49 to
1854, inclusive, there has been an average of
| $50, 900 persons, who have been during that
time either in California or on their way go
ing or returning. The time is six wears for
$50, 900 persons. or one year for goo, 900 per-
sons.
Now if we estimate the average value of
this labor at S25 per month each, or $500
per year, we have ($270, ,000, ,000) two hum
