The last half Of this speechhad been made
with the old mans hand in his grasp; for even
then the thought had not worked itself into
Jareb's honest mind that any pecuniary good
was to grow out Of this.
But it was indeed Heppy's own brother,
and one Of the chief objects he had in view
when he first set out on his travels, was to
find bis sister if possible. He had forgotten
her husbands name, hayeing heard II but
once in India, and then only casually in
conversation with man who had Just come
out. The old man was rich and now that
he had found the only living relative he had
on earth, he resolved to settle down with
her.
A large house, on a beautiful eminence.
the wealthy owner OF which had died, was
tor sale, and uncle George bought it; and
thither he took his sisters family. And in
after times there we're some great doings in
that large house. The little Gopps had q
competent teacher and they became prodigies
Of learning. Jareb was utterly astonished at
lht 'hul"us lulcllcSl tlicy ulsptdYeu.
But the balance was kept up. As the
little ones became more and more advanced
and threw Off childish things, Jareb and un-
Gle George put on. and became children
themselves. One day the two old mon were
caught in the act ofjumping leap frog over
each others shoulders and had not Heppy
come out and stopped them. there is no
knowing how many necks might have been
broken. Ii was fortunate for them that the
good dame retained all her strong sense, for
there were many seasons when, in the height
Of their childish joy, they might have done
much mischief, had she not been ever near
to watch over and protect them; and once
q have it from good authority,) when she
caught them wrestling at " sidehug," she
took them BY the ears, and led them into the
house.
But they had to indulge in rough sport
sometimes, for as uncle George had sudden
| " become thawed out from the ice of mis-
authropy and lonesomeness, and as Jared
rad full as suddenly been lifted up from the
dark depths Of poverty and want, they found
themselves moved by spirit Of Joy and
gratitude that wouldn't be cured. SO Heppy
had to watch them until some Of the children
became old enough TO reason with them and
then she played with the girls in the house.

a FEW WORDS WELL SAID.

!" We are accustomed to see great deal
of sympathy wasted over the distracted con-
dition Of the Mexican Republic. Has it ever
occurred to those soft-hearted people who so
sadly bewail this fact, that the same elements
Of disruption are at work in our own midsts
The extended political rule Of Democracy
for another decade would bring the United
States to the same degraded state. We see
already its disposition to give dictatorial
power to the President, its true Mexican
procliyities toward plunder and extraya-
gance, and its Justification at all pledges
given to the people for their happiness and
security"
The above brief paragraph from the Louis.
willie Journal conveys in terse terms a capt.
tai rebuke 70 the sectional agitators, corrup-
tionsists and disorganizers North and South,
who are laboring with all their might to pre-
cipitate this noble Republic into an abyss of
degradation and shame no less wide aud deep
than that in which the miserable Mexicans
are laundering. There is some excuse for
the various excesscs of the latter, for they
never knew what civil and religious freedom
were--neysr tasted the fruits Of the genuine
tree of constitutional liberty-neyer enjoyed
tbe benefits Of the enlightened Institutions
which are the glory Of the Anglosaxon race.
Yes, there i some apology Tor the lawless
anarchy to which Mexico has SO long been 4
prey. 10 be found in the chronic corruption
and imbecility--tbe absolute degeneracy--
which are. and have FOR ages been. the Lead

is not the shadow Of an excuse-not con-
ceiyable paIliation TO be pleaded for the bale
ful political disturbances. the degrading
yenality and enleebling distractions which
are fast hurrying this Union TO pcrdition.
Unless this wrctChed condition Of things can

THE VOYAGE OF LIFE,

mr. Eta JEnLIN.
Sailing down the stream OF time
Looking back to view The shore,
Where my early days began,
To retrace them never more.
Often by the way I've lost
Little bafks that sail'd with me;
Some were often tempest-toss'd,
Others buried in the sea.
Eyes that beam'd on me so bright,
When started on life'd main,
Closed, while yet twas morning light
Closed, and open'd ne'er esain.
Hopes, that sparkled in the sun,
DiamOnd-lke on every wave,
Sank when billows burst upon
Sank, and only left--a grave
Still my little bark bark is sailing
Down the rapid stream Of time;
Sails are torn--timbers falling
Making for another cline.
Hangs a rainbow overhead,
Mid the clouds golden bar;
And on oceans darksomc bed
Brightly glows the evening star.
And an angel, gathering up
Hopes long buried in the sea,
When reach the port Of Heaven,
Will restore them all to me.

A RACK ONT.

From enc Winchester ~virg!nian, March &l
Mr.. Goggin commenced the campaign with
a speech in Bedford county. and followed it up
by a speech in Richmond-thus showing at the
outset n disposition to so on his own hook
throughout the canvass. His Richmond
friends. however, less discreet than he, posted
him after John Misunderstanding that he
must follow and swallow Mr.. L.. wherever
he went. We predicted at the time that he
would soon become sick Of the task assigned
hiln--that he would soon find he. had all to
lose and nothing to gain by following John
Letcher. Aud our prediction has already be-
come truth. Mr.. Cioggin has given notice that
he will leave Mr.. Ictcher, and speak on his
own hook, after the 9th Of April. He will
then, after 4 visit 10 Allegheny, return to
Eastern Virginia, speaking in Albemarle, Lou
lisa. Caroline, Dinwiidic, N%ansemond, Norfolk,
Princess Anne. Northampton, Accomac, tIou-
cester, James City. King and Queen, Rich
mond, King George and SpotSylvania coun-
ties. which will consume his time up to the nth
OF Nav. But, in this course Mr.. Goggln is
jumping ont Of the pan into the fire. The
Richmond ''E.nauirer'' says he will encoun-

or, to indulge in drnunciation and abuse Of the
Democratic party, and in assaults upon its
, principles. or in attempts by no party appeals
to s~cluce the Democracy from their party allie
giance. The Democracy will be represented by
an able and efficient champion in every county
! in which Mr.. Gogsin may venture to address
the people. There never was an instance in
the history Of parties in this State OF an oppo

they are wholly useless" in which opinion Sir
Charles Napier promptly backs him. The SO

points out nine Of a very inferior quality"
nine being old so gun ships, which, though
turned into screws, are so cramped for room
as to be short Of the mark in fighting qualities.
The same story has to be told over again in the
case of frigates. The English have "a Of these
vessels, the French have 46. They have dozen
or more sailing SOS, which Sir John thought
to cut down into frigates. but he is sorry to
say, that they really won't pay even for this.
On the other hand there are about as many
sailing SOS, which, if they can be heightened
amidships, and at the bows, and at the stern,
may BIO expected to turn out good wholesome
craft Of their class. However, Sir John de-
clares that he will he able during the year to
increase the British navy from 29 lne-of.battle
