s6annyseyes may lose their brightness;
Ninbk Get forget their lightness;
Pssrly 1lsefb may know decay,
Raven treeses turn . gray;
Cheeks be pale, and eyes be dim,
Faint the voice and weak the limb
But though youth and strength depart,
Fadeless is a loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower,
Pecping forth IN wintry hour,
When the summers breath hath fed,
And the grannicr f1owret's dead;
Do, when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still viii blossom on,
Despite Timr's destroying DART,
Tle gentle, kindly loving heart.
Wealth and talents win avail,
When on life's rough sea we sail,
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow;
But more smooth we'll find the Sea,
And our course the fairer be,
II our pilot when We start,
Be kindly, loving heart.
Ye in worldly wisdom old,
: Ye who bow the knee to gold
Doth this earth as lovely seem
As it did in life's young dream;
Fer the world has crusted DER,
Feeling good and pure before
Fer You sold at Mammon's mart,
The best yearning Of the hearth
Grant ne Heaven ny earnest prayer;
Whether life Of ease Or care
Be the one to me assigned.
That each coming year mar find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
Twined within my bosom chords,
And that age may but impart
Ripper freshness to my heart.

1.-The narrow contracted, illiberal and unjust prin
ciples of the American party which give prefer

of his birth, over which he has no control Z
w lthout tedious elaboration OF tns anti Aner-

where it will lead if carried to its legitimate re-
suits.
limo preference should be given to man on
account of the place of his on what principle can
one give preference to the place ofhis birth over
the birth places of Others. If we may not prefer
our eountrymen, because they are our country
men, how can we prefer our COUNTRY because it is
our countryg Ii the plare ofbirth be so unim-
portant, Why should one prefer his birth place to
any foreign land? Must we not be as solicitous
! for the prosperity Of England, ireland, France.
Italy, Holland, and every other country, as for
the prosperity ol Americas There have indeed
beeen some philosophers who advocated this
doctrine, saying that patriotism is narrow, con-
tracted, and illiberal sentiment, and that only
philanthropy, ,lnsuerSal philanthropy, is worthy
OF an enlarged ana liberal mind, The anti Amer

Thc Pearl ExpIo.ion.

Adobe's letter of The 30th,-only portion
of which we were able to publish last week.
contains the following paragraph relative to the
explosion Of the Pearl:
There were known to be FIVE passengers from
Trinity County, viz: Mr. Strader, wife and
child who escaped uninjured; and two German
boys who had been mining in the nelghborhood
of Weaver for some time, and were on their way
home with considerable money-both killed.
Their bodies were recovered and buried Today.
We understand that number OF miners that
have been mining on Whisky Greek IA Your
county, were on board aud were killed. Two
noble hearted fellows, who were our mutual
friends, are gone-poor Mount and Mcbride
The former connected with the Clear Greek
Water Co., the latter Rhodes s. Co.'s Messenger,
and as one found temporary grave IN the
waters of the Sacramento-the other went mes
senger TO the other world. Well their labors

PROPOSED RAILROAD FROM CANADA TO THE
PAcIFIc.-An extraordinary project has lately
been submitted to The Canadian Legislature by
the Commissioner of the Crown Lands and
eighteen others, embodied in petition praying
for charter) to construct railway to the Pa
ci6c Ocean! The route proposed is in direc-
ton from the head of Lake Superior to Pugets
Sound and the mouth of the Columbia river, near
the 32nd parallel of north latitude. 1t is also
held that after crossing the Rocky Mountain
summit, favorable and direct route may be
found to San Francisco.
The desire is, in short, to secure line of rail-
way in the shortest possible distance, between
the great bend of the Missouri and the Atlantic
Ocean at Portland. The distance, it is said,
would be less by hundreds of miles than by fol-
lowing the Missouri and Mississippi to their COM
mon mouth at New Orleans. The petitioners
remark that :" the extension of such line OF rail-
way across the continent oyer the route pro-
posed, would, as we believe, confer upon Can
ada and the northern States of the Union, de-
gree of commercial and political Importance be-
yond our present power to describe or even to
conceive"

WARNINGS TO AMERICAN The
following warnings, says the Albany Argus, ut
tered by the British prints Immediately after the
presumed fall of Sebastopol, are worthy of being
kept in mind by the American people. They
are only specimens of the very general tone
adopted at that time:
Our foes have had forewarning with what
sort Of people they will have to deal; and our
transatlantic cousins will become triie less in
solent and overbearing, when they find that the
feet which summers in the Baltic can, without
cost or effort, winter in the Gulf OF Mexico
North British Reriear.
England and France together are strong
enough to bind nearly all the world over to
keep the peace When Russia is settled France
may abate her army and England her navy but
we must not disarm. We must still be able to
say No" to our lively young brothers across
the Atlantic, if he wants Cuba, or takes any
other little vsgary into his head. = Blaek'eood :

Crockett, passed through Hickman last week, on
their way to Texas, to get possession of por-

about sixty-five years of age, and the daughter

A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE PooR.-Judge
Helfenstein, of Pennsylvania, has donated his

benefit Of the poor in New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and other places, while the 9TH
er third will be divided between the proposed
new College and African Colonization. There
are various particulars as to the details, which
The reader would naturally desire to know, but
we are unable to communicate them at present.
We presume that only the income of the prop
erty is to be used from year to year for the OBJ
ject mentioned. In either case, and in any case.
The donation is ''prlncely" one, and will place
Judge Hefensteins name high on the roll of
pubic benefactors.
