THE MoTnER's INFLuEScE.. -" The
solid rock which turns the edge of the
ehisel, bears forever tie impress Of the
leaf and the acorn, received long, long
since, ere it had become hardened by
time and the elements. If we trace back
to its fountain the mighty torrent which
fertilzes the land with its ccpious streams,
or sweeps over it with adeyastatine food,
we shall find it dripping in crystal drops
from some messy crevice among the dis
gtant hills; SO, too, the gentle feelings
and affections that enrich and adorn the u
heart, and the mighty passions that
sweep away all the barriers Of the soul,
and desoate society, may have sprung up
in the infant bosom, in the sheltered re-
tlrement OF home. I should have been

SuARDoRoUGH's PoRrRATr OF CALHOUN.
During our stay in Pendeton we visited
"Fort Iilll," the late residence of Carolina S
greatest son. We were very kindly receiv.
ed and Hospitality entertained by Col A.
p. Calhoun, the proprietor Of the place
We notice this visit with view to do jus.
tice to native artist. Among the many
who have endeavored to put upon cancass
correct likeness of this great man, none
have been so successful as Mr. VIM III
Scarborough. And one who had known
John @. Calhoun as a man, who bad been
accustomed to see him, not in the Senate
but aroupd his own fireside,in in The heart of his
family, would at once be struck with the
tru.hfuluess of the likeness referred to. Ii
was taken when the Statesman was at home
following his favorite avocation-f farming
Looking upon the picture one might imag,
inc, that having Just returned from his fields
he had thrown himself carelessly into q
chair, and the artist, watching for a favora
ble opportunity. had fortunately seized upor
this one, and thus had transmitted TO pos
tel,ty one among, il not the only true like
ness of the "great Carolinian." In other
pictures Of him, we find very good likeness
of the Statesman, but in the one refereed
to we see the man; not surrounded by
the cares of State, nor pressed down by
their weight, but in the midst of his family
he was enjoying that domestic happiness
for which he seemed to have been created
when the Artists pencil represented him a;
he was. In Mr.. Scarborough's painting we
see the father; the kind, mild and gentle
head of family; in others, he isrepresent is
ed as the political warrior marshaling hi.
hosts and leading them to battle. No won
der, then, that his family esteem Mr.. Scar
borough's painting so highly.
