The Republicans are just now talking ofJohn
10. Fremont as their candidate for the Presiden.
cy. The Boston Bee furnishes him with the
following character"
ut was stated at the American State Council
on Tuesday, by a gentleman who was present IN
The Legislature Of California when Fremont was
a candidate for Senator, that he actually crawl
ed on his belly in subseryency to the South; that
he declared with bcasting that he was a South
Carolinion, brought up at the feet Of that Gang
liel of slavery John G. Calhoun; that he bclicr-
cd entirely in Calhoun's doctrins and that he
would carry out those views ifclected to the
Senate. His bid procured the nomination and
election, and he fnlited his promise by bowing
to the behests Of South Carclna. Stillwe think
it very probable that the Republicans may take
him---and Il they do, We promise few rich

little dream Of" aql

The Railroad Letter.

About two years since, yound gentleman
was travelling between Princeton and New York
and when about to leave the cars, youthful
stranger whom he had never seen before, and
with whom he had not changed word, handed
him note in pencil mark, obviously written
while the train was in motion. He hestatcd at
first to take, but put it in his pocket On open
ing it some time after, he read as follows:
"MY FRIEND-Are you a christian? If not
do you expect to be? If SO, when? May not
God call you soon to an account, and then what
excuse could you give? Might you not be q
Christian now? Oh don't delay searching fol
life eternal lest you should put it off too long and
try too late. Receive this kindly from one who
may not see you till the Judgment day; and oh,
stop, and think! think!h'
These words made an impression which the
young gentleman never lost, and were at least
among the consummating means, with the di-
vine blessing, Of his convention. He preserved
the note among his most precious and sacred
treasures, and during his last sickness which re-
Gently occurred, he requested that it might be
brought to him, when he explained the circum-
stances in which he received it. He died in peace
and after weeks of such experience Of divine
grace, that although the only child of widow,
his mother has felt what she witnessed and en-
joyed at his death-bed, is more than compon-
sation for the grievous loss she has sustained
Few persons are bound to the world by such
ties as held him here. He was the idol of a large
circle of cultivated friends and the heir ofweath
but ho chcerfully relinquishcd all in submission
to Gods will, and felt that to depart and be
with Christ, was better than to remain on earth.

a
a PARrsIAg HoAx.--A Paris paper states that
a hoax was lately played offat Tabes, by per-
son who reported that an Englishman who was
to be hanged for 4 robbery Of So0oooOof had
his sentence committed on condition that he
should procure some person TO undergo his pun
ishmcnt. The Englishunen, it was added had
offered to divide 7, 7,oooooof among seven pcrs-
ons, on condition that they should drawlots to
determine which of them should suffer to be
hanged in his splace. This report created consid-
cradle excitement, and four persons proceeded
% tile Prefecture Of Police to obtain passports To
proceed to England 10 offer diemselUesas as catsdsdai
tesJ for tseoha,sce Of being hanged The Prefect o
Police had with difficulty convinced the peasants
that they were dupcs Of a mystihcatlon.

old chap that got the wagon for the purpose o
riding to the topof Washington street"
"How did he get in the wagon?' ...
Il told him he might. Didn't he tell you?"
"Of course not; l would not give him q
chance"
The result ofthis interview may be very easily
guessed. Mr.. P. discovered that he had made a
mistake, and made all speed to rcctig it. As
soon as he could return to the Penitentiary, he
released the old gent and apologizcd. The old
man said, want no apologies; man that shayes
my head has got to pay for it."
Saying this, the old gent seized his bundle,
slammed to the door, and came into the city,
He called at the Police Office and made the ac-
quaintancc of Councillor Brice. Brice heard the
story, and immediately commenced a suit for
false Imprisonment. He lays the damage at S5,-
600. The old gent resides in Burlington. His
name is s. w. Sheppard. Should a verdict be
rendered against Capt. P, Barney Whalen sho'd
at least 'go halves" Let us hope that he will
do so.

The charm Of home depends upon the perfcc
ton of its circe-break IKE circle and the charm
is broken.
Death is fearful visitor, no matter when or
how he may come. His advent, even when his
face is thickly veiled, and footsteps most eau
tiocs is terrible; but when he uses his-power as
if he loved to use it, and surrounds his mission
with superfuous and peculiar horrors, and then
the heart-strings must snap and the blood cur
die in his veins.
The darling has indeed parted. For the few
hours that her little form remained with us, we
felt that we had her still--but now we know
she is gone. TWAS bright morning when we
followed her to rest, and brought back with us
darkness The home which she summed and
made musical was as gloomy as a cavern, and
so it remains. A few days agoit seemed like
the lark that sung at the gate has fallen with an
arrow in his breast @l
And when the night came on how it brought
a new measure--full heaped--of lonely agony!
Here we sought to sleep, and were awakened
by her blest voice---her pattering footballs her
thrilling touch 1t did seem as if she was there!
But when VIC looked around and saw her not
there, then the truth returned like sudden
blow, and she sank into the bitter waters.
She lies in her coffin. There are rose buds in
her hand, and a wreath of myrtle encircles her
Of alabaster. The leaves fall solemnly, the
wind moons like chained beast around her dis
NAL bed. 1t is hard to leave her there, it seems
50 cold and dreagy for the child! Our bird now
sings amid the eternal branchcs--our bud now
blossoms in the garden Of God--our darling re-
poses in the bosom of the Crucifed. It is well.
God loved the child, and loved her most when
he took her up where Rachel's children arc.

CEFTherc is but breath Of air and beat o

And in the brief interval of painful and awful
suspense, while we feel that death is present

stunning calamity about to befnll us, that earth
has no compensating good to mitigate the sever
ity of our loss. But there is no gIief without
some bencHcent provision to soften its intense
ness. When the good and lovely die, tho mem-
ory Of the good deeds, like the moon beams on
the stormy sea, lights up our darkcned hearts,
and lends to the surrounding gloom beauty So
sad so sweet that wo would not, If wc could,
