JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE.-The Dem.
ocratic nominee for the Vice Presl.
dency is thus personally described
by the Cincinnati Commercial:.
He is a tall and gracefully formed
Young man, with delicate features
and would be singularly handsome j
his profile line was more prominent
Looking at him side ways. and bis
forehead, nose and chin, are nearly in
a straight line. But his eyes beams
with intelligence, his nose is hand
some in outline, and a habitual com,
preston of his lips indicate resolute
WILL. On the whole there is a poetic
glimmer about him. And that there
is something Of this in his character
the fact that he has purchased al
island il Lake Superior for. a summel
home would indicate. His mannel
in speaking is proud, defiant, and full
of passion, tempered. by educated dis
cretion.

! "A TOUCHING INCIDENT.--The sad
dest story that we ever read was that
of little child in Switzerland, a
pet boy, just as yours is, reader,
whom his mother, one bright morn
ing, rugged out in beautiful jacket
al. shining with gilt and buttons, and
gay as a mothers love could make
it, and then permitted him to 60
out to play. He had scarcely step
ped from the door Of the "Swiss Cot.
tage, when an enormous eagle scoop
ed him from the earth and bore him
to its nest, high upamong the noun
tains, and yet in sight Of the house
ofwhich he had been the joy. There
he was killed aud devoured, the eyrie
being at a point which was literally
inaccessible to man, SO that no re-
lief could be afforded. In tearing
the child to pieces, the eagle so pla-
ced his gay jacket in the nest that
it became a fixture there, and when.
ever the wind blew it would futter,
and the sun would shine upon its
lovely trimmings and ornaments
For years it was visible from the
low lands, long after the eagles had
abandoned the nest. What a sight
it must have been to the parents Of
the victim! s5 SEQ

A Safe Proposition.

zAtthe recent Kansas meeting in Sy.
racuse, New York, ,aletterwas read from
Gerret Smith, the Abolition million.
aire, proposing to raise one million
dollars for the Free State cause, pledg'
ing himself to give ten thousand
dollars. He says he is. too old tc
fight, don't know how to shoot 'nc
how" and, as for the bowie knife, is
not certain be has ever seen one
but he will give ten Thousand dollars
propided, million be raised! The
Mobile Evening News thinks this is
very safe proviso. These, fellows
can only talk @big," swagger and
threaten, but thy not only keep out
of harms way themselves but take
good care not to spend any Of th ell
dimes. This was strikingly illustra'
ted the other day in Massachusetts,
In the debate in the Legislature upon
granting $4,000 in aid of Kansas
settlers, aMr. Rogers, of Boston, pro-
posed to vote an additional appropri'
alton of $50 from each members
pay. This bill was rejected almost
ANONYMOUSLY; and the $4,000 bill has
since been lost.

whom your cousin is about to b
married, was. an old friend Of mine
we we're play mates in boyhood. HI
was apprenticed to the carpenter
trade about the same time that
entered the counting house. Sool
after he had finished learning hi1
trade, he went to Baltimore, ant
there he married. Being possessed
of genius, and having a good educa.
tion, from master mechanic ant
builder, be soon became an architect,
and subsequently amassed a large
fortune. Knowing the reverses ol
fortune to which we are all liable, be
determined to make his only son an
architect, SO that if the tickle dame
should desert him, be would have
the where-with to earn his daily
bread. He succeeded. A year or
two ago, he died, leaving his son his
whole fortune-his wife being al.
ready dead, and Charles being the
only child. About six months ago,
Charles came here on a visit. In
the course of conversation, / asked
him why he was not married. He
said he had never yet met with a
young lady that he thought worthy
Of calling his wife; but he could find
enough that would marry. I told
him that / would introduce him to
some Of our city bellies, and see if
he could not find one among them
to suit him. He required then that
/ should conceal his wealth, and in
troduce him as a master mechanic.
/ acquiesced, and knowing your false
estimate of respectability / embraced
the opportunity Of teaching you a
salutary lesson. ] knew when /
brought him home and introduced
him, that neither Of you would be
his choice; because | was certain
that neither of you could stoop so
low as to marry master mechanic,
but the event which will take place
/ easily foresaw. Your cousin knew
nothing of his wealth until to-day.
/ see you look surprised, but did
! not tell you, that he was worth two
such ninny hammers as Mr.. Pierce
and Mr.. Brown, in more ways than
one? And did not / tell you that
you would be sorry some day that
you did not obtain him for q hus-
band. Remember, girls, that wealth
is a false standard by which to judge
Of responsibility and worth. Not
that rich man may not be respecta.
BILE, but that very often be who earns
his daily bread by the sweat Of his
brow is more, Of Q gentleman than
he who counts his thousands.
And they did remember it. For
in after years they showed in their
choice Of husbands that they had
not forgotten their honest old faith

With fond affection true;
That in this dreary pilgrimage

But will you love me when I'm old,

From off his heavy wing?

Brings but source of pain;
When hopes are scatter'd one by one,
And life is on the wane? a
You say my eyes, like silvery stars,
Shed forth brilliant light;
And that my hair is beautiful
And dark as hues Of night;
Butwili you love me when rm'old,
When those bright eyes grow dim,
When; time has scatter'd all my locks,
Aud they are grey ard thin? ~
o, then will memory cause the past
To DER your senses steal; -
And raise within your heart a love
As angels only feel? ~
Will you love me when Pm old, dearest,
And stricken down in years;
Will your kind hand in safety guide
Me through this vale of tears?
And when the hand of time, dearest
Is pressed upon my brow,

And when beneath Iife's chilling storms
All things grow stern and cold
When joys all fade-may then feel

Atseven o'clock the procession formed

ed through the principal streets of the
city, to the inspiring sound of martial
music. They afterwards passed into the
Hall of John W. Mason, where cola
ton was prepared for the half starved
democracy, which reflects credit upon the
house and its new landlord. And we
think the democracy thought so too, for
they went into the pies, turkeys, chickens,
&C., as though they had eaten nothing
since the commencement of the campaign.
The toast masters-Dr. W. w. Jenness
and Charles Robinson-were then called
upon, which call was responded to-
They gave some excellent ones, while
there were others not so good, and which
were decidedly out of place in an assem-
bly of rational, reasonable and enlighten-
ed men. and such an one we presume they
would wish to be considered. We allude
to those referring to John c. Fremont,
who. aside from being the candidate of a
great party, should ever se held in CRATE
full remembrance as a man of science, as
an explorer, and as a ripe scholar, by the
whole American people-by those even
who affect 10 despise his politics. We
would give the entire batch, but the toast
masters have failed to furnish US with
them, as per agreement. DR.. w. w.

a speech of some ten minutes, which

entertained by "old'' Charles Robinson
