THE GIFT OF TRITEMIus.

TRrrENius Of IIerbipols one day, p
While kneeling at the affairs foot to pray,
Alone with God, as vas his pious choice,
Heard from beneath a miserable voice. 'e-
A sound that seemed Of oil sad things to tell,
AS Of a lost soul crying out of hell.
Thereat tho Abbot rose, the chain whereby
His thoughts went upward broken by that cry,
And, looking from the cascment saw below
A wretched woman, with gray hair allow,
And wretched hands stretched up to him, who
cried
For aims as one who might not be denied. s
She cried: "For tho dear love of him who gave
His life for ours, my child from bondage save.
NV beautiful, brave first. born, chained with slaves
In the Moor's galley, where the sun-smit waves
Lap the white walls of Tunis !" what can
| give, ."Tritemius %said,-'my prayers" 80 man
Of God p she cried, for grief had made her bold,
"Mock me not so l ask not prayers, but gold
Words cannot serve me, aims alone suffice;
Even while l plead, perchance my frst-born dies!'
Woman !" Tritemius ans Sered, 'from our door
None 90 unfed hence are we always poor.
A single soldo is our only store.
Thou hast cur prayers, what can we give thu
more?"
"Give me-" she said, 'the silver candiesticks
On either side of the great crucifx
God well may spare them on His errands sped,
Or he can give you golden ones instead"
Then said Tritemius, Even as thy word,
Woman, SO be it: and our gracious Lord,
Who loveth mercy more than sacrifice,
Pardon me if a human soul / prize
Above the gifts upon His alter piled
Take what thou askest, and redeem thy child"
But his hand trembled as the holy aims
lie laid within the beggar's eager palms;
And as he vanished down the linden shade,
He bowed his head and for forgiveness prayed.
So the day passed and when the twilight came
lie rose to find the chapel all a.hame,
And, dumb with grateful wonder, to behold
Upon the altar candlesticks of gold !

HABIT.-Habit eats so deeply into mans bumani-
ty. that, instead of cpnstitutiog no more than his
second nature, it expells the first, usurping tho
sovereignty. Our mind may turn our eyes 30
long in the same direction, that never again can
we look quite straight. Thoughts, passions,
affections are domesti,ated by CUSTOM, till, like a
barn-door fowl, they will always eat their meat
from the same platter, and sleep upon the same
roots.

INDIA

A nephew of George Charming wrote a remarka.
BILE poem, under the tito India" some four and
twenty years ago. The writer had enjoyed many
advantages for studying the native char aeter.-and
he sums up the result of official experience a
Delhi, Bareilly, Cawnpore, in the following pro
phetic lines:
There needs but some surprising act of wrong
To break the patience that has been so long
There needs but some short sudden burst of ire
May chance to set the general thought on fire;
There needs but some fair prospect of relief
Enough to seize the general belief,
Some holy juggle. some absurd caprice,
To raise one common struggle for release.

Think not that prodigies must rule a state,
That great reyulsions spring from something great
The softest curl that floats on beauties brow,
The smallest leaf that futtered on the brough,
Is not more lightly easy to derange
Than human minds Nth cause 10 Vish for change
Out breaks at once the far-resounding cry,
The standard of revolt is raised on high,
The murky cloud has glided from the sun,
The tale of highlands tyranny is done,
and t~Orturing vengeance grinds as she destroys,
Till Stella yespers seem the game of boys.

The NORTH AMERICAN HEMP AND CoTToN PLANT.
We noticed the fact some tins since, in the
Merchants Magazine, Of the discovery of this sin
gular production, by a Mrs. Beaumont, growing
wilde in the southwestern part of Wisc9nsin.-Th
discoyerer, as we learn, has since cultivated it with
great success, having now some fifteen or sixteen
acres.of it growing on her farm. a correspondent
Of Life Illustrated has furnished that Journal with
an interesting description Of the plant: and the
editors have seen specimens of the produce, and
express their surprise at the value of the discovery.
Mrs. Beaumont thus describes il IT,
From q single root that | transplanted there
sprung up about twenty stalks measuring fifteen
or seventeen feet each in height, having upwards Of
three hundred pods containing the cotton, with
about fifty to sixty seeds in each pod. 1t can be
planted in the spring, and may be cut in the fall
it / leaehes itself almost white as it stands in the
field, and yields from three to four tons of good
hemp or flax to the acre. The hemp or fax is the
prod uce Of the stalk, and the cotton is tho head OF
bulb of the plant. 1t requires but little labor to
cultivate it, for when once planted it will remain
in the ground for several years, throwing out fresh
shoots and stalks every year.

but will be deferred from doing SO, if the
route is left open to the depredations of
the Indians. BY the concentration of the
troops at or near Stockton, or some other
point where suppliess could be obtained,
they would be able to cross the noun
tains by way of Murphy's and the Big
Trees, in the early part of May, and thus
be prepared for an early and vigorous
campaign, and having as good road as
could be selected for the march of an
army and the conveying of supplies.
We have noticed that several compa-
MES are being organized in different parts
of the State, with the intention of hold
ing themselves in readiness, in case call
should be made by the general govern
ment. This is all right, and those who
feel particularly pugnacious, should enroll
themselves and be ready for the fight
There is no question but that the people
of the United States would enter into
war with the Mormons with a greater
feeling of destructiveness than generally
actuate the masses in cases of war; there
being general prejudice, amounting,
almost, to a hatred towards the whole
community of Later Day Saints, and this
feeling has been greatly increased by the
conduct of that people during the last

ANGELS, Nov. 26th, 81.
Editors Independent The Democracy of
Calaveras county assembled at Brown & Pat
terson's saloon, in this place, at o'clock P.
NJ, and was called to order by the Chairman
of the Central Committee, and after appointing
Committee on Credentials, adjourned to 6
Pm.
On assembling, the Committee reported as
follows:
Your Committee, appointed on credentials,
after having the same under consideration,
make the following report:
On motion of VIM. Coddiugton, ESQ.,: That
no proxy shall be admitted, unless the person
holding the same is an actual resident of the
precinct which he claims to represent.
This proscriptive resolution was fought
bravely by Judge Badgley and others; it was
claimed by them as cutting off all their rights,
as well as the entire delegation from the north
ern part of the county. The resolution was
passed. whereupon Mr. B. S. Lippincott came
forward, and in a neat and appropriate little
speech withdrew his name from before the
Convention. Mr. W. 7. Lewis responded to a
call. and defined his position and was nomi-
mated by acclamation. The following resolu-
tions were then passed
Rcsolped, That the Hon. VIM. b. Norman,
State Senator resigned, by his bold and manly
course in his Senatorial career, has merited
and received the appreciation of his constitu-
ents and the esteem of all who knew him.
Re,olred, That his resignation met with the
heartfelt regret of the entire Democracy OF
his Senatorial District.
On motion, the Convention adjourned sine
die. Yours, REPORTER.

FROM CAMPO SEco.

Correspondence of the San Andreas Independent
Dog Fghts-P Politcians-M -Mners-Lancha Pla-
ma Ditea-Jenny Lind 4queduct-Rob6ery.
CAMPO SEco, November oath, 1857.
There is not much of interest in Campo
Seco. The usual number of items occurs
daily in this place, viz: Three or four
dog fights, which show the exact number
of loafers in camp, and an occasional row
in China, which brings the Celestials
from their smoky habitations, like bees
from their hive. x~w<A+s
Politicians have little button-holing
to do just now, as there is Senator to
be elected but am down on dog-fghts,
Hong Kongs and politicians, and the less
people have to do with them the better.
Miners are focking into this place from
the North, to prospect for winter dig
gings. Some have already "struck it, "
and expect to make good winters work.
The Lancha Plana ditch will be COM
pleted and water introduced next week.
The ditch runs through as good mining
section as there is in this part of the
country, and will carry twelve hundred
inches of water Thus, you see, we have
the "needful' for fourishing camp
With an industrious, persevering, eco
nomical people, plenty of water and good
diggings, who cares for the panic which
is sweeping like besom of destruction
through the Eastern States. Our money
is good, our banks never suspend specie
payment, their vaults always contain
gold enough to redeem their bills, and
we have but to present them and they
are cashed.
The Jenny Lind suspension aqueduct
over the Calaveras, which fell on the
night Of November 1lth, will be rebuilt,
and water running through it on Monday
next. This is one of the largest aque-
ducts of It's kind in the State, if not in
the world, being five hundred feet long
and three hundred and sixty feet high.
This promises to be a good.camp this
winter. Miners are coming in, and cabins
are being built in every gulch and on
every hill, in anticipation of the good
time coming.
A robbery was committed last Monday
night on the road leading from this place
to Poverty Bar, upon Frenchman He
was waylaid by two Spaniards, who
knocked him down, cutting his head in
three places. The robbers took from
their victim twenty dollars and six
shooter. They no doubt left him for
dead, but he recovered and walked to
Campo Seco, where his wounds were
dressed. 1t is thought he cannot live
Suspicion rests upon two Spaniards, who
were seen prowling around the camp in
the afternoon and evening.
Our officers are on their track, and it
is hoped they will succeed in capturing
the villains SEco.
