US how he commenced business. He
says.

clerk was wanted. "No," in rough
tone was the answer, all being too

garb, and the next day went into the

not want porter, and again mo, sir,
was the response; when | exclaimed
IN despair almost, ga laborer? Sir, |
viii work at any wages. Wages is
not my object; | must have employ |
ment, and l want to be useful in

tracted their attention, and in the
end I was hired as laborer in the base

pay, scarcely enough to keep soul

chief clerk. / saved enough for my !

What Does il Prove,

When General jackson wrote his
last will, be spoke in kind terms Of
Andrew J. Donelson, and bequeathed
him the sword that bad been presents
ed to himself by the State of Tenn
essee; he left him nothing else. This
portion of his will is now being pub
llished by the know nothing papers
in order to make a little capital for
Andrew j., the son of Samual Donel-
son, and the adopted son Of Sam know
nothing. If our memory is not at
fault, Gen. Jackson made bequests
much more sacred to Francis P. BAR,
and which proves that he had in him
a confidence above that which he
reposed in Andrew j. Dnnelson. Ans
drew j. Donelson has joined the
know nothings. Francis p. Blair
has acted as badly, he has united
with the Black Republicans. They
have acted the part of traitors to
and to Gen: Jackson, and
if Donelson can gain anything by
to the confidence Gen. jack
son had in him, Blair can gain much
mora for the cause of abolitionism
by q similar reference, for he had
Jackson's confidence in a greater
egree.--MwJrees5oroggh Ners.

ish-looking shop-girl, who went to
church to be married. few days
since in that city. While awaiting
the arrival of the minister in the porch
a tailor stepped up to the bridegroom,
and presented a bill for his wedding
coat. The bill must be paid at once
or the coat returned, but as the poor
fellow had not a dollar beyond the
minister's fee, there was bright
prospect that be would be compelled

I Mr.. VIM. NJ. Burwell is one Of the
leading know nothings in Virginia
and is member of the Legislature.
He was the editor of the official Or
gan of Mr.. Fillmore's administration,
1.-THE Republic, and lately of the Wash
ington Organ, the Central know noth-
ing organ, He is good southern
man, and the tendency of the Order
and the course of events have caused
him to come to a halt. He sees the
slavery question is the true issue.
In the Legislature on the 9th inst,
be said:
The question of slavery is now
paramount to all others before the
American people. The settlement
of that question upon just and
final basis is the great problem that
demands solution. The South, at
least, nust demand from all parties,
and all candidates for Federal offices,
a special pledge to abide by and
maintain the existing legislation up
ON the subject of slavery as q
fuality.
As member of the American par
ty he had relied upon the pledges
given by that partyin June, 1856.
But the obligation had been cancell-
ed by the National American Coun-
Gil of February. 1856. He should
stand by the legislation as it now ex-
listed. He should maintain the
rights of the South, and the obliga-
tions Of the Union, as defined in the
XiIth section of the Philadelphia
platform Of June, 1856. He should
support no man nor party which
stood anywhere else. But he should
take no party-positen until the nom-
inees Of the-AmericaD party, and those
of the Democratic party, should have
announced their position. He should
then take his stand where he deem.
ed bis humble efforts might be most
useful to the eause of Southern lights
and to national conservatism -
To that cause alone they had been
and should be exclusively and faith.
fully devoted. S

Softly stole the gentle zephyrs
O'er the early flowers,
Wooing fragrance from their petals,
Breathing it in bowers;
Gently hummed the happy insects
In each leafy tree,
While wild guitar was breathing
It's sad melody.
Joyfullyit oft had murmured,
From its masters hand.
Strains to WOO white-winged angels,
To our sin-dimmed land;
But naughty soul will seldom
Yield to minstrel art,
Oft it wounds the masters ardor,
Shivering his heart.
Yet naughty lady listened.
On the morrow's sun
To her vassal'S tale of sorrow,
edTlully oSSuhJ
That young and gentle harper
Leaned against tree:
But they nevermore would listen,
His sweet mipstrelsy;; 2
Knew his cheek a shade OF pallor
Deeper thanbefore,
And his eyes were closed forever.
Near her stately door.
Gently now the naughty lady
Listens to each strain,
Sung by wandering Ministries
Roaming Ger the plain;
Telling them with fearful pauses.
That herlover died;
Had she known how wellshe loved him,
She had been his bride.
