Always Right, but Right or Wrong, Our Country"
The WIfc's Remembrance.

Oh, love me as you used to love,
When this worn heart of mine
Came like a trembling bird to make
Its spring clad bower with thine.
Ere fading flowers and autumn leaves
With whitening sadness fell, ------------
Ger many tlarkcncd dream to warn,
"Not wisely but too we'll"
Oh, love me as you used to love-
My way is often dark,
And tempe St clouds thou knows not Of
Close wildly round my bark.
And buried meath the warning waves
Lies many a heart-born 1lOwer,
That shed its fragrance fresh aud pure
In childnood's 5 ri0ed bower. Y
Oh, love me as you used to love-
This heart once light and free
Is numbered now with many things,
And oft u care for thee
That IN the busy world Of man
May all forgotten BE-,
Winch i'll the shaded bower Oi homo
Is all the world to iur.-
Oh, love me as You used TO love-
Why should the heart grow old,
With all its wealth Of feeling still,
The deepest yet untold?
The strength that bravely battles thro'
Temptation gloomy hour
The love that softly folds its wing
Beside the dropping lower
Oh, love ME US you used to love,
Ere one ungentle word
Had, with prophetic touch, the heart
With doubt and sorrow stirred.
When Hope upon her rainbow wings
Reflected, glad and bright,
Full many Il joyous day to come,
But nc or darksOmc night.
Oh, love me as you used to love,
For soon the trcaChcrUuS wave
That bears our lifc-boat on its breast
Will close upon our grave;
And then mouruiul memory
Will sometimes haunt the spot,
Aud whisper of loves early VOWS,
Neglected or forgot.
Oh, love me as YOU used TO love,
And ever love the saline
Hard was the struggle in my heart,
The willfull bird To tamc
Then teach il not in stranger bowers
Its nesting song To sing,
Nor plant with cnrelesS hand barb
Beneath its folded wing.

Immortality.

When we mark, saws the North 4Ameri-
can Rccie'n, the iondncss of birds and
beasts for their young, and see that, after
q few weeks or months, they no longer
recognize their own offspring, we perceive
that the care Of the dcfencclc>S is the only
and sufficient end Of the instructive love
that they cherish. But in man, when de-
pendence ceases, attachment survives and
grows stronger. 1t is the testimony Of
those who know, that severe as is the sor-
row when little children are called away,
those who die in their maturity carry
with them still larger portion Of the pa-
rents heart. The affections grow with
tho growth Of character, and are never
more intense and active than on the near
approach of death, when every cherished
name of tho living and the departed
mounts to the lips, and the last strength
of diSSolving nature is expended i'll words
Of love and consolation for those that arc
to survive. II these affections arc to
slumber forever in the grave, why are
they suffered thus to grow through life
and to life in death? We receive their
pcrmancncc as pledge of Immortality
If not, what else does it mean? how else
is it to be accounted for? why this distin-
gushing attribute Of human love in con-
traSt with all else that bears the Scmblancc
of love? All the phenomena Of disease
and dissolution present insuperable diff
culticS, unless man be immortal. If that
which thiuks and loves is part and parcel
Of the bodily frame, why does it live in
undiminishcd and growing vigor, with the
mutilation and decay of that frame ?
How can tho tongue, the heart, the foot
be palSicd, and the mind unimpaired ?
How can the body waste to shadow of
its former self, and the soul which ten
ants it seem more luminous and majestic
than when its tabernacle was entire and
sound? If the soul has not a separate
life of its own, how can it be so clear and
bright, so sclf-collccted and earnest, SO
keen in apprehension, so rapid in action,
as it often is. up to the very moment Of
dissolution? Whyi is it that the process
which Christians call disembodiment fire.
quently enhances to an amazing degree
the quantity of mental and spiritual life,
SO that the feeble grow strong, the timid
bold, tho slow of tongue eloquent, the
lame Of counsel wise, the dull of fancy
rich in lofty inspirations and gorgeous
imaginingss These things look not like
the death of the soul.-NOrth american

TRUE.-The Louisville, kentucky,
Democrat very truly says: "Therc is a
glorious Democracy in New England, al
though generally in a minority. They
fight through all manner of isms, against
the world, the flesh, and the devil; but
they never surrender" The Democracy
of New England, although now under a
cloud of niggerism, are bound to shine
yet. They have been defeated on account
Of their persistent adherence to the idea
that white man is superior to a negro {;
but that doctrine is daily becoming more
popular, we believe, and its ultimate tri-
umph here in New England will occur at
no distant day.

TRACKS OF A TRAVELLER.

Having left Jackson on one of the early
lines of stages for Drytown, made no tracks
on the way We were full inside, (that is,
the stage was,) three Cinnamon occupying
the front seat; one of whom took his place
with pipe in his mouth that held fire longer
than any old-fashioned fowling piece. 1t
went off in occasional whills, striking Bill
Hamilton, who sat on the middle seat, full in
the face; this caused Hamilton to complain
of being very sleepy, and he proposed q
change Of seats with "John" by the side of
the smoker, but John "no like him." Hamil-
ton entreated, but it was no use; Johns final
reply was, ''me like um dis belly well; you
like um, why you no take um in Jackson?"
Being the proprietor of the line, Hamilton
had to grin and bear it, as it would not do to
raise muss with Cinnamon in these days of
opposition One Of the Celestials getting
out at Sutter fixed things satisfactorily, and
the remainder of the ride was made very qui-
ety most of us being reused from dozo by
the stage stopping, and the driver calling out
"stop here to breakfast We were in
DRYTowN
1t was not yet daylight and as cold as it
usually gets to be here. We were all glad to
find the landlords up, their stoves well heated
and everything in readiness to promote the
comfort of travellers BY the way, this is one
of the places where stage passengers get the
worth of their money, and where landlords
do not consider them like eels-only made to
be skinned alive.
Since my last travels in this section, Dry
town has undergone q material change; that
is, there is but little of the material here now
that was here at that time. The main street
is now lined on both sides with new buildings,
most of them of fine appearance. The new
houses have all been erected by those who
were burned out, with the exception, believe,
Of BelPs Exchange which was rebuilt by
the Cover Bros, worthy successors Of Mr..
Bell believe the loss at the June fire was
estimated at $4,000 you can from this

midday, therefore, he placed the mill on the
kitchen table
Grind away said he, and let us have a
mess of herring and some milk of the best
sortp So the mill began to turn out her
rings and milk, till all the dishes, pots and
pans were filed, and at last the Kitchen was
completely flooded. The man kept twisting
and turning the mill; but do what he would,
the mill did not cease grinding, and at length
the milk had risen SO high that he was in
danger Of being drowned. lie now tore
open the chamber door, but it was not long
before the chamber was likewise inundated
and it was with difficulty that he could wade
through the milky tide, and manage to un-
fasten the latch Of the house door. No soon
er had he opened the door, than out he rush
cd, still pursued by the rushing torrent Of
milk and herrings. And on he ran tihhe
had reached his brothers house; and then he
entreated his poor relation, for Gods sake to
take his mill back; for if it goes on grind
ing for another hour said he, the whole
village will be inundated with hcrrings and
milk"
Bat the brother refused to take back the
mill unless the other counted him out three
hundred pounds more; and as there was no
help for it, the rich man was fan to pay him
the money SO, now that the poor brother
had money as well as the mill, he built a
house that was far handsomer than the one
his rich brother inhabited. With the help
of the mill he collected so much gold that he
could cover the walls with plates Of gold, and
as the house stood near the shore, it could
be seen shining from great distance at sea.
All who sailed near the coast were sure TO
anchor IN the neiehborhood, and to pay q
visit to the rich man in the golden house, in
order to see the wonderful mill.
One Gay, captain, who, like so many
Others had come to see the mill, inquired af-
ter looking at it, whether it could grind saltg
Yes, it can grind salt rs we'll as any
thing else"
The captain then wanted to purchase it at
any price; for thought he, if had this mill
/ should not be obliged to sail SO far over
the rough seas to fetch salt, and then could
make myself comfortable at home"
At first the man would not hear Of selling
it, but the captain teased SO long, that he
consented to part with it for many thousand
pounds. AS soon as the captain had obtain
ed possession Of the mill, he took care not to
remain long in the neghborhood, for fear the
man should repent of his bargain; so with
out even stopping to inquire how he was to
manage the MILL he went back to his ship
and sailed away On reaching the main sea,
he took out his mill, and cried, Grind salt,
and let it be prime stuff"
And the mill began to grind salt till itsplit
and crackeh again. When the captain found
his ship was full, he tried to stop the mill, but
in spite Of oil his endcavors the mill went on
grinding, and the heap of salt grew higher
and higher, till it finished by sinking the
ship. So now the mill stands on the bottom
of the ocean, and keeps grinding on at this
very day, which is the reason that sea water
is salt

quently heard the question asked. "What
keeps up Drytown~ There does not seem to
be any extensive mining in its immediate vi
cinty, and certainly the travelling CUSTOM al
though it is large, would not support town
the size Of this. But it must be remember
ed that every community partly, if not wholly
supports itself in the exchange of labor
The larger the community, the less necessity
there is for outside help. The interior cities
of Mexico are marked instances Of this fact.
Doubtless the many quartz mills in this vicin-
ity aid some in the prosperity of Drytown,
although their main supplies are not purchased
here. A half interest in the Emerald quartz
mill and lead at this place was recently pur-
chased by Mr. Wick, the celebrated pickma-
ker of Sacramento; the sum paid was two
thousand five hundred dollars. The mill has
been remoddled, and the lead will be worked
with energy this winter.
Iu lieu of other amusements the people
here have an occasional mock-trial of some
one who has not gone in strict accordance
with the notions of right entertained. A
short time since quack chronological lectu-
rer was put through in approved style. If
lawyers would desire to be posted in the la
test practice" they should attend these
courts; it would be better than a course of
lectures. The leading lawyer here attends
regularly. His Office is the most comforta-
bic one in the county and is onamented with
a picture Of boy stealing from his grand
mother
The Chinese community of Drytown are
at least half of the inhabitants and endeav-
or to be governed by the laws of their own
country. An instance of Sbylockism was
brought to light among them last week, that
exceeds old Shylock himself Over two years
ago a Chinaman lent China woman one
hundred and fifty dollars, she giving her note
for it to bear interest at the rate of twenty
per cent. compound interest per month. Suit
having been brought on the note judgment
was rendered for the principal and twelve
hundred dollars interest. The man insisted
in open court for the money or the woman,
the Cinnamon around declaring that the claim
should be enforced after the law of China if
American courts could not do it. Rev'd.
Mr.. Shuck has been endeavoring to settle the
matter, having been sent by the head China
men Of one of the companies.
Gambling is said to be as prevalent here
as the wants of the place require; monte, al
though forbidden by law, is the favorite.-
Has that law been declared a nullity? The
subject of the non-enforcement of law in this
State has been so harped on that it fails to
arouse any to a sense Of their duty

Sensations in Dying.

What are the sensations Of persons during
their transition from this life to the future?
The following narratives, taken from DR.
Newmans Phiiosophy Of Charming, will be
read with interest
DIR. Adam Clarke, when relating his reco
cry from drowning, stated to Dr. Lettson
that, during the period Of his unconscious
ness, he felt q new kind of life He says:
"Now aver, lst,' That, in being drowned
| felt no pain. ID. That did not, for a
single moment, lose my consciousness. 3D.
| felt indescribably happy; and though dead,
as to the total suspension Of all the functions
of life, yet felt no pain in dying; and | take
it for granted, from this circumstance, those
who die by drowning feel no pain. 4th. That
felt no pain till once more exposed to the
action of the atmospheric air; and then
felt great anguish and pain returning to life,
which anguish, had | continued under water
never should have experienced &c.
DIR. Moore cites Mr.. Green, who, in his di.
airy, mentions person who had been hung
and cut down on reprieye, who, being asked
what were his sensations, stated that the
preparations were dreadful beyond expires.
sion but that, on being dropped, he instantly
found himself amidst fields and rivers o.
blood, which gradually acquired greenisl
tinge. Imagining that if he could reach 9
certain spot he should be easy, he seemed tC
himself to struggle to attain it, and then he
felt no more.
Schiller, when dying. was asked how he
felt. "Calmer aud calmer" he replied. DR.
Moore says that when the vital flame flicker
cd, almost extnguished, the heart falterinq
with every pulse, and every breath conyul

Are you in pain?p and the reply with appa-
