the past--tbe dear Buckeye home, the Preside
circle, the beloved one whose form reposes
neer the far shores of Lake Superior, and all
NE Joys and sorrows Of intervening years.
With eager earnestnesa were its contents De-
rused, and msuy mental blessings breathed for
the unkpown friend who had so kindly and
thoughtfally furnished this momento of the past.
But that sss not the end of it. Week after
week, the ESd still comes to that lone log cabin
on the banks Of Bear creek, bringing not only
the tidmss of the far-off world left behind, but
telling cleo of loving remembrance on the part
Of some of the friends of earlier years, 80 sooth
ing to the heart, go grateful to the lonely. And
it is warmly welcomed each week by the little
group Of eager expectants. The unknown ben
efacsor, who eonfsrs this periodical enjoyment,
is made the richer by widows prayers and
blessings, and the pleasure conferred upon
young joyous hearts.

For the National Era.
S 0 N G.
BY WILLIAM N. BRIGGS.

They sly thou art fair as the dreams that hover
tss IA AsihssSs asEo~sed; SrvS 81 80 49,. s.
That those who have seen thee never recover
The light they have lost.
That never tone from the hearts thou hast broken
Has murmured thy name;
Save TO join il in love with some passionate token
Ofbeauiy or fame.
Oh! pure is the spirit that dares 10 surrender
To hearts they've estranged;
The test Of worth none but woman could tender,
And find it unchanged.
You may tellm the light of her eye is as chilling,
And her smile is the same;
But know in the nnermost depths OF her feeling
Burn passion and flame.
know by the worth of the constant devotion
She proudly has spurned,
That her own heart lies wrecked in the ptess ocea
Oflove unreiumed.

AARON BURR,

The Southern Literary Messenger for the chr.
rent month has a very able and interesting ar
ticle on Aaron Burn The paper bears inter
nal evidence of being the work of Henry T.
Tuckerman. The following anecdotes from the
essay are new, and are commended to the
readers attention: -
One of the most distinctly remembered Jour
neys Of our boyhood was to the British prov
inces, returning via Maine. One summer day.
at the hotel in Portland, with he urbsnity
which distinguished old school landlords. the
host came into the parlor, exelaiming:
Come here, my lad, I've something to show
you" Accompanying him TO the porch, be
pointed out the erect and somewhat dininutive
figure of man, whose round, lev hat, plainly
cut, mulberry-colored frock. coat, aud inn movable
aspect, suggested, at the first glance, the idea
of Quaker; hair of snowy whiteness, a good
profile, and keen eye, were next obvious he
stood at an angle of the street, and people con-
tinually passed him (; he looked straight forward,
whether In reveris or expectancy did not ap-
pear. "Mark him we'll" said Boniface "you
will hear OF him when you are older; that ia
Aaron Burr, who shot General Hamilton"
From that moment, an ardent curiosity to
know the details Of this event, and permanent
association Herewith OF the staid, venerable.
and solitary figure Of which We had caught this
vivid glimpas, gave local habtaiion in our
memory to the name Of the second Vice Presi.
dent OF the United States. Accordingly, no op-
portunity was lost for gaining anecdotes of one
OF the few historical personages visible to juve-
nile eyes. These were aingularly at variance
with each other, yet all characteristic.
A medical contemporary of the old man told
US how startled he was, when administering to
dying patient on wintry night, to have his
vigil disturbed by the entrance Of gentleman,
whose costume and greeting we're thoroughly
courier-lke; he was followed by negro, bear
ing tray with wine and soup, covered with a
napkin the roar Of the tempest outside, the
lateness OF the hour, the contrast between this
etiquette and the abject misery of the apart
ment and wreiched end of the patient-who,
though highly connected, was an outcast. be-
cause Of q long career Of improvidence and dis
sipslion-struck the good doctor as highly
dramatic; and this impression was enhanced.
when the unexpected visitsr announced himself
as Col. Barr, well known 10 have been the boon
companion OF the dying man when he lived by
his wits abroad, and INDUCED in a clark" at
home.
Poor Bill 4" said the courteous comrade
can nothing be done for him?"
DE received . negative reply with perfect
composure, regarded the sufferer q while, and
then went through an elaborate farewell to the
physician, leaving on that worthy's mind a be-
widening impression of charitable intentions
and hesrtless courtesy.
In direct contrast with this amiable phase
of character was the next personal reminis-
cence we heard. Among the many funeral
sermons ELECTED by Hsmilton's death, one de-
livered by a Philadelphia clergyman was re-
msrkable for the severe anathemas pronounced

OLD MINIS FRIENDsHIP.-Willis pays q high
compliment to old men in one of his Idewild
letters. After quoting an interesting letter
from the venerable DR.. William Beattie, the
poetphysician of London, he says:
Men differ (if asked at fifty years of aae) a.
to what has most pleased and 'Aattsred them in
lifei and may take the liberty to say, perhaps,
while thus turning over one Of the brightest of
the gold links in my chain Of memories,) that
of all in this world wh oh has seemed TO fall
naturally to my lot, nothing has lain 90 sweetly
close to the tearfountain at my heart Is the
love which have experienced from old men.
1t has been neither chance found nor rare
Years ago, l blessed God that in every land 10
which bad travelled, there awaited me gray.
haired friendship and blessing. The subdued
tenderness, the disinterestedness, the wise care
and counsel, the chesrfulness with its touch of
melancholy, and the ripe ard safe goodness of
such friends, made them always seeu priceless
to me-treasures to end, anywhere. The one
whom We have lost from ldlewild was one of
thsse-dear old Friend Sands, the Quaker
whom we found living near rs when we came
His white locks, and his world purified sadness,
beat smile, are still part of the hallewed pres
