The Hazel Dell.
A POPULAR soNh.


In the Hazel Dell my Nelly's sleeping
Nelly loved so long,
And my lonely, lonely watch I'm keeping,
Nelly lost and genel
Here in the moonlight on we've wandered,
Through the silent shade;
Now where lcafy branches dropping downward
Little Nelly's laid,
All alone my watch I'm sleeping,
In the Hazel Dell,
For my darling Nelly's near me sleeping,
Nelly, dear farewell.
In the Hazel Dell my Nelly's sleeping,
"a. Where the howere wave,
And the silent stars are nightly weeping
o'erPo NelIy's grave;
Hopes that onceuas bosom, fondiy cherished,
Smile no moro for me: r,....
Every dream, ofjoy alas, has perished,
Nelly, dear, with thee..
All alone my watch I'm keeping, &c.
Now Pm weary, friendless and forsaksn,
Watching here alone;
Nelly, thou no more wilt fondly cheer me;
With thy gentle tone; i.
Yet forever shall thy gentle image
In my memory dwell,
And my tears thy lone grave shall moisten,
Nelly, dear, farewell.
All alone my watch I'm keeping, &c.

or Sir, Mathew Hale says: Converse
not with liar or swearer or man Of OBJ
scene or wanton language; for either Do
will corrupt you, or at least it will hazard
your reputation to be Of the like making,
and it doeth neither, yet it lfillyour MEM
ory withsuch discourses that will be tronb-
lesome to yod in after-tine, and the returns
Of the remembrance i words and passages
which you have so long since heard Of this
nature win haunt yon whensyour thoughts
should be better employed.

Whose hopes are built on maiden's truth,
Butthe maiden will break her VOWS with ease,
For wooer cometh whose claims are these

Col. Fremont and His NEariposas

Col. Fremont and His NE1ripOsas.
We learn from Washington, that the Pre-
sident signed with his own hand the paten,
confirming Col, Fremont's title to his grea,
Mariposas claim in California. The nice
little estate contains upwards Of seventy
square miles. situated about 960 miles eas-
ttefly from San Francisco. Messrs. Palmer,
Cook 4 Co., the California bankers, own
oneiundivided half the tract, and Col. Free
mont the othsr,which, manypersons believe,
makes him the richest man in the world.
Col, Fremont bought this immense gold
region 10 1876. for the sum Of $4,000 and
was laughed at for the recklessness Of his
Investment. Il has already yielded thirty
ave millions of dollars, and It's resources,
both mineral and agricultural, are said q be
inexhaustible. Col. Fremont i : phenome-

Hon. John II. CLAYTON,

As we have already announced by TeIe-
graph, the memorable hand OF death has been
LAID upon Hon. John NJ. CLAYTON. United
States Senator, from Delaware. and he is pnm-
hefed among the galaxy Of distinguished
cues, which, within a very fsw years, have
been sEatched from a nations arms. Mr..
clayton was about seventy years OF age. and
about iortg OF those years have been spent in
pubic lie; varying in position, but never in
principle aud integrity. ami in all Races OF
responsibility, giving evidence OF ability
equal to all occasions. He was a firm aid
Consistent Wing Of the old School. and was
ever regarded by that party as one of its most
faithful exponnders, and strongest pillars
In the Senate, Mr.. Clayton sat with CLAY,
Webster. Calhoun, Cass, silas Wright. Man
gum and Leigh, and he ever had an innuen-
tal voice IN the debates OF that BODY. Du-
ring the brief Presidential career of Zachary
Taylor, Mr.. Clayton held the post of Seereta-
ry OF State, and since givin. place to Mr..
Webster, on the accession of Mr.. Fillmore, he
has continued to represent his State in the
senate, and no Senator ever enioyed. to a
greater degree, the confidence and love of his
constituents.
Thus generally passes away the landmarks
OF what, in these times Of sectionalism and
tanaticisn, may we'll be termed the ancient
regime. The brilliant craftsmanship which
