And when the "good nights" are repeated,
And all lay them down to sweet sleep.

Because one is missed from the circle,

"Lifc on the Ocean Wave. .

"A Life on the Ocean Wave.
The man who wrote it was green;
He never has been to sea.
And q storm he never has seen.
He never has seen wave
As ii dashed DER the vessels deck;
He never has seen a fire at sea.
Or been floating upon wreck.
He never has been aroused
From his mornings gentle dOze,
Dy the sound Of spashng water,
AS it fell from the horrd hose.
He never has heard man
Scrubbing right over his head,
With noise sufficient to rouse
From the grave the slumbering dead.
He never has seen fat woman
Growing thinner day by day.
And leaning over the vessels side,
Throwing herself away.
While people look carelessly on,
Though in tears the woman may be,
And unfeelingly say it is nothing at all,
ONLY the roll of the sea.
And oh! he has never been sea-sick,
And crept into bed in his coat,
While every motion increased his TIRoEs,
And his FEELINGS were all in his throat.
That man may have sailed in a boat
In some puddle or on sound,
But if he has been to sea, and wrote
Such a song, he deserves to be drowned

ASEcporE OF JAcKsoN.-The U7estern
Christian Adrocrate records the following
interesting anecdote of Jackson. The scene
of it was in the Tennessee Annual Confer
ence held at Nashville, and to which he had
been invited by vote of the brethren that
they might have the pleasure of an intro
duction to him:
The committee was appointed, and the
General fixed the time for o'clock on Mon
day morning. The Conference room being
too small to accommodate the hundreds who
wished to witness the introduction, one of
the churches was substituted, and an hour
before the time filled to overnowing. Front
seats were reserved for the members of the
Conference, which was called to order hy
the Bishop, seated in large chair in the
altar, Just before the pulpit. After prayers
ward entered, conducting the man whom all
delighted to honor. They led him to the
Bishops chair which was made vacant for
him. the Bishop meanwhile occupying an
other place within the altar.
The Secretary was directed to call the
names of the members of the Conference,
which he did in alphabetical order, each
coming forward and receiving from the Bish-
OPP personal introduction to the ex-Prcs;-
dent and Immediately retiring to give place
to the next The ceremony had nearly been
completed, when the Secretary read the
name Of Rev. James T; an elderly gen
tleman, with weather-beaten face, clad in
q suit of jeans, arose and come forward Few
seemed to know him. He had always been
on circuit, on the frontier; and though al
ways at Conference, he never troubled it
with long speeches, but kept his seat, and
said little-that little, however, was to the
purpose Mr.. t came forward, and
was introduced to General jackson. He
turned his face towards the General, who
said, 1t seems to me that we have met be-
fore the preacher apparently cmbar-
rasSed, said, I was with you through the
Creek campaign-one Of your body guard
at the battle of Horse Shoe-and fought
under your command at New Orleans The
General arose slowly from his seat, and
throwing his long, withered, bony arms
around the preachers neck, exclamed:-
We'll soon meet where there's no war
where the smoke Of battle never rolls up its
suphurous incenscp
Never before or since, have I seen so many
tears shed as then flowed from the eyes of
that vast assembly. Every eye was moist |
with weeping.
Eleven years have passed away since that
day. The old hero has been more than ten
in his silent and narrow home. The voice
that cheered the dropping fight, and thun-
dered in the rear of routed armies is silent
forever. The old preacher too, has fought
his last battle, laid his armor by, and gone
home to his eternal rest

WEAVERVIILE TRINITY COUNTY, CAL, SATURDAY MORNING,
A TRrE ITEno.-Wc take the following

A TRUE IfERo-Wc take the following
interesting anecdote from the Illustrated
London Ne,os I: Sliolld be pablished and
read all over the globe:
On the night of the 31St Of January, the
packet from Dover TO Calais, after expert
encing very heavy weather, was unable, in
consequence of the continued violence of the
storm, to enter the port of Calais. Two
English travellers on board expressed great
anxiety to catch the train for Paris, and in
sisted on being allowed to land. For this
purpose they got into boat with three sail
orS. The boat had hardly left the ships
side when she was capszcd by tremendous
sea, and the whole five were prccipitatcd in
to the sea. An English gentleman, who
had remained on deck, Immediately took off
his coat and Sprang into the sea, and at the
imminent hazard of his own LIE, succeeded
in reaching two of the unfortunate passcn-
gers, and brought them safely to the ships
ladder. He was himself assisted upon deck,
little or none the worSc--the wcttng cX-
cepted-for his gallant exploit. Onturning
round he saw the other three persons Strug-
Cling in the water, or holding on to the side
of the boat. Once more in the coolest man
ner possible, lie lcapcd into the sea, and sue
ceeded, to the admiration of all on hoard, in
rcscuing them Thus Tie whole five were
saved The gentleman, with modcSty as
rare as it was noble, refused to give his
name, insisting that he had merely done his
duty. The circumstances were made known .
in Calais in the mornings and when the pas
Schgers landed, tho authorities of the town
presented themselves to thank the hero of
the adventure, and to demand his passport. /
The passport on being produced bore the
name of Lieutenant General Sir Stephen
Lakeman. The rublic will remember this
gallant soldier in connection with the Kailir
war--for his services in which he received
the honor of knghthood. They will also
remember u name III COnnccllOn WIN the

though he was man of unquestonable pu-
rity of morals, and is writing to ladies Of
high rank, as we'll as to others to whom he
was much attached, who were not quite so
high in social poSiton-there are fifty ex-
pressons that no gentleman would think of
using in writing to ladies in America. There
rises before the mind of every gentleman in
this western world, when writing to lady,
an idea of purity and lovciness, which, from
an unconscious feeling that it ought to be
her character, he associates with her as if it

anything that appears to him calculated to

is very far in advance of that in any other
country. This appears even in the place
