at is no credit to the American party that every
election riot without exception, which has occurred
within the last few years, has been commenced or

it contains an active and poisonous oil, which,
many cases, has caused the death of persons who
unfortunately made use of them. Life is jeOp-

A Masonic ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF MOUNT NERNoN-We find the fol
lowing announcement in the Richmond
(Va.) Dispatch of the 9th ult.:
ave understand that one or more of
the Masonic Lodges of this city have
originated a plan for the purchase of Mt.
Vernon, which, if taken hold of in earnest
by the brothers of the mystic tie
throughout the Union, cannot fail of sue
cess. The plan proposed is to get the
subordinate lodges to contribute 81 for
each member. The price asked for the
Mount Vernon estate is 100000, and
the Masonic statistics show that the Or
der numbers three hundred thousand; 50
that if all the lodges in the Union accede
to the proposition-and the probability is
that they will-the purchase of Mount
Vernon may be looked upon as a fixed
fact. But the suggestion, as given out,
docs not stop here.
When the land which contains the
last mortal remains of Washington is pos
scssed by the Masons, they propose to
present it to the State of Virginia, only
reserving the right to their Order to meet
around the tomb of their deceased brother
once year, to celebrate his impe ishahle
deeds and to keep alive his great name.
We have strong faith in this patriotic
plan for the purchase of Mount Vernon,
knowing as we do that the Order from
which it emanatcs arc ever ready for good
deeds, and never look back when they
put their hands to the plow. Let every
true Mason feel that the TOMB OF WASH
INGToS can only be preserved from de-
cav bv his efforts, and but few short
months will roll by ere it will be the
property of that State which gave him
birth, and to whose keeping alone his
ashes should be trusted.

"Yes, sir, it has been gone half an

The stentorian voice, sounding like a
trumpet, had aroused every sleeper from
elysian dreams, into which he might have
fallen after his long, tedious, cold night 5
travel. Every head was turned, every
eye was fixed on the man who hadl oxen
the silence He was standing by the
stove, warming his boots. To have warmed
his feet through such mass of ow-hide
and sole-leather would have been a four
teen hours operation. Six feet four OF

shoulders Ceased ina fur coat, that looked
more like bearing up a world, than you
will meet ordinarily in a lifetime His
head Websterian, his SHAGGY hair Black
as jet, his whlskers to match, his dark,
piercing eye, and his jaws etcrnally NOV

he get in ?" "What an interesting char
acter.' education would spoil him."
What rich furs." q Did yon notice what
asplendid watch he carlies?" "He's some
great man incog" Such were few of
the queries that passed from lip to lip
but there came no answer; for he, who
alone could have answered, sat couched
III his fur coat, seeming unconscious of
his own deep thoughts.
Chicago shouted the breakman. and
IN an instant all was confusion, and our
hero was lost i'll the crowd. The next we
saw OF him was at the baggage stand,
looking up bandbox for sweet-looking
country girl, who was going to learn the
millincr's trade in the city As we passed
to our carriage, we discovered him again,
holding an old man by the hand, while
he grasped the shoulder of the conductor
of another train with the other; getting
for the deaf, gray-haircd sire the right
information as tothe route he should take
to get to "his darter, who lived near
Muscatine, Iowa"
" God bless him for his good deeds !"
was our earnest aspiration, as we whirlcd
around the corner. May hisshadow never
grow less, or the gold in his pockets di-
minish, for in his unnumbered charities
and mercics dropped SO unostentatiously
here and there, he is perhaps doing more
IN his day and generation, than he who
donates his thousands to build charitable
institutions, to give honor to his own
name.
Oh, how much the world needs great
hearts that are able to comprehend little
things, and yet how often it happens that
the learned, the wise, and the rich, out
grow the everyday wants Of humanity,
and feeling within themselves the power
to move mightily-push by the humble
duties that would make thousand hearts
leap for joy-and push on, looking for
some wrong to right, some great sorrow
to be soothed, some giant work to be ac-
complished; and falling to find the great
work, live and die, incarcerated in theil
own selfshness, and do nothing at all.
This rough mans nature seemed the
nature of the little child His quick eve
saw at glance his great heart warmed
and his great hand executed his little
work Of charty-so small that one woulC
have expected to sec them slip between
his giant fingers accomplished-yc they
were done. The CANCEL over the right
shoulder will have longer column to set
down to his account of deeds well done,
than all the rest of the passengers of that
crowded car, on that long, tedious, stormy
night in January, 1856

Written for the San Andreas Independent,
Lines Written at Sea.

There's a gloom that hangs around me
Like that which wells the sky,
And darken's DER the heavng sea
When storms are hurrying by;
And my spirit shrinks in sadness,
As fearful of the forms
That rise in demon madness,
Amid that spirits storms.
There's something brooding DER me
That seems to chill my blood
Though many are before me,
feel in solitude;
My heart-strings all are broken,
Or breathe a saddened tone,
And woes that neer were spoken,
Usulp all pleasures gone.
OH why's my spirit saddened?
Oh Why this inner gloom?
When heart should be all gladdencd
With scenes that now illume
The deep, dark blue of ocean,
Ger which I'm floating now;
Bathing its heaving motion
In Soils most brilliant glow.
The evening sun is setting
Behind the western waves,
Yet, as if to part regretting,
Their glistening crests she laves,
With tints of golden splendor,
That sparkle as they leap,
Like eyes of beauty tender,
When smiling, though they weep.
y cloud of mist is stealing
Upon the distant sky,
And DER its face revealing
Hues of brightest dye;
They fade, as Sol sinks slowly
Into his rosy bed,
And waveets sinking lowly,
Bend down each sparkling head
And mnsic's voice seems flowing
Along the murmuring sea,
In strains that seem all glowing
With Natures purity;
As if the songs of Heaven,
All blended in one strain,
Were, by angel voices given,
To soothe my saddened brain.
Oh why should feel sadly,
While Nature will rejoice?
Why burns my brain so madly,
While listening to her voice?
Oh little is the needing
Ny hearts fast flowing tears
And her beauty too S receding-
Nor more to mock appears.
