20 For the Guardian
ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS.
BY o. SHERWOOD.

VIC think of Death with a rcsistlcss dread,
And mourn in silence for our kindred dead;
Nature assumes u melancholy gloom
Our thoughts all centre in the silent tomb
Where rest the objects once to us SO dear, ~
For whom fresh memory starts the falling tear
Alas they're Conceive shall see them never
While here we dwell on Times uneven shore
Their lovely smiles no more shall greet our eye
Beneath the clods their Wondering bodies lie !;
Their wcll-known voices salute our ears no more
Their cares and troubles in this life are DER.
The question comes--Will Death forever reign
Will not our friends yet live and speak again
A secret hope by Natures God is given
That we shall meet our friends again in Heaven
Wcsprung from eaitli--toe earth We must return
This simple fact from day to day We learn. ~
An impartial lnw--lnost holy, just, and good,
Alimust admit, when rightly understood.
Then why rcpinc it is one of Mature laws,
Ov.laincd by One--the Great Eternal Cause.
We must submit unto the stern decree
Chcercd with the hope Of Immortality.
Ills said that in the Heavenly worlds above,
We have Il house, built by the God Of Love
That friends will meet in that eternal home;
That sickness, pain, and sorrow can never come
That man to man no more shall be slavc
That high and low, the poor, the rich, the brave
With all the nations, join the deathlcss throng,
With equal joys to each and every tongue.
Then sin no more shall stain the human soul
Eternal peace shall reign from pole to pole.
All sorrow cease, and every tear be dry
The grave shall yield ,and Death itself shall die
All Nature smile-her choicest incense bring
In offerings to Him who of Kings is King.

A Venerable Couple.

The Portsmouth Journal mentions the
fact that a few days before was seen III
Portsmouth the solemn spectacle of a
funeral in which were two hearses in
succession, bearing to their last resting
place the remains of husband and wife
who, after pilgrimage together of forty
five years, had together, upon that same
morning, gone upon that long journey
from which no traveller has yet returned.
The husband was Mr.. Richard Fitzger-
aid, at the age of 81. He died in the
house which his grandfather built, and in
which he and his father were born, and
till the last week he occupied the rooms
which were his birthplace, and that of
his mother. He never entered rail car,
or stage coach, in his life. By his
first wife, who died about fifty years ago,
he had six children, most of whom arri-
we'd at mature years. but have all been
dead for the last fifteen years.
During the last season he gave to the
editor of the Journal a cluster of damask
roses from bush in his garden, which,
76 years ago, he transplanted there with
his own hands. When removed, the
bush was well grown, and had probably
borne roses before the Revolution. The
bush had his personal care during three
quarters of century, and it usually
bloomed six years in succession-then it
took season of rest, dwindled, and
ceased to bear for three years, and on
the fourth it usually came out in fresh
vigor, and bloomed again another six
years.
The garden spot which he used to cul-
tivate when boy. he dug personally ev-
cry successive year, from the age Of ten
to eighty-six. And the last summer he
might have been seen bending over the
soil he loved, with his hoe in his hand
banishing the weeds against which he
ever felt enmity. Stones must grow, +"
said the old gentleman, +" for have pick
ed all the stones out of the garden every
year for seventy years, and yet l find a
few more every spring" The garden
was always pattern of neatness-and
even in the little blacksmith shop in the
garden, the smoke seemed to ascend with
out backing the ceiling.
The last three days Of the lives of Mr..
+. and his wife, they were both insensi-
BILE, and both died on the same morning,
without consciousness of each others
condition. She having been born on the
dark day, May 10Th, 1880, was IS years
of age, and he had reached the age Of
81.
Thus have passed away the last of the
family, and there is none of its members
to continue the occupancy Of spo,
which has SO many years been literally a
family home.

The following letter is from the New
York Tribune, and, we presume, is per-
fectly reliable :.-il G
ADRIAN, Mich, Jan. Is. 80.
l see the papers -teeming with fabulous
accounts of the richness of the South
Platte or Pixies Peak gold mines. Now,
when | say that this is the greatest hum
bug of the day, speak advisedly. l
have made two successive trips to Cali
fornia; first crossed the Plains in l849,
and worked in the mines nearly two years,
and returned to my home in Cleveland,
Ohio. l returned again in 1859, and
worked nearly two years more in the
mines. So l think | am qualified to
Judge, from thorough prospecting, what
man can make per day in the mines.
Last September, l, in company with sew
en- others, started for the gold mines Of
South Platte. There were also two 9TH
er California miners-J. ID. Sprague and
James Fry---in our company.
We prospected the Platte, Cherry
Creek, Plumb Creek, and many other
small streams. We found gold /; but the
bare color was the fruit of most Of our
washing. We have found as much as
two cents to the pan Of dirt; but such
places were few and far between at no
place could we make dozen pans of dirt
average one cent per pan. 1t is all very
fine, or wash gold. II is estimated by
many that there will be so, 900 emigrants
to the gold diggings next Spring and,
Judging from what have seen on my
way down and on the frontiers, l think
1t will be large, unless the truth is fairly
stated. The border men have a great
interest in publishing flatlering accounts.
Every one who goes to the diggings
with expectation of making money by
digging gold, is destined to great dis
appointment. There are those on the
border who are now preparing to fit out
the dupes of their flattering accounts,
that will make great amount of money
and they alone will be greatly benefited
by this stupendous humbug. l write
this, hoping it may save some from the
disappointment which they must ulti-
mately feel if they expect to find new
FL Dorado at Pixies Peak.

Reorganization of the United States Su.
ga-t premc Court.


An exchange says: "To put our
readers in possession of the views held
by some of the leaders of the opposition,
in reference to one of their objects-and
a very important one-we give what fol-
lows from the Cincinnati GazeAe..
Hon. Samuel A. Foot, late of the
Court of Appeals, of the State of New
York, has published calm and able re-
view of the Dred Scott decision." He
traces the revolutionary doctrines ad-
vanced by Judge fancy to certain reso-
lutions introduced by Calhoun in the
Senate dozen years ago. These reso-
lutions were left unnoticed on the table,
where they were promptly consigned, af-
ter having been denounced on all sides
as tirebrand." Judge Foot thus con-
cludes
eff these opinions are clothed with
judicial authority, and for that reason
are the law of the land, we cannot fail to
see that they give the country new
constitution and new system of law, on
the subject of slavery and the govern
mept of our territories, and widely diff
ferent from those given us by our fathers,
and under which We have heretofore
lived. But if they are extra judicial,
mere oJitcr dicta,' and have no judicial
authority, then most serious question
arises for the decision of the country,
and upon which every citizen should be
prepared to form an enlightened judg
ment and the question is, what consti-
tutional and lawful action can be taken
to prevent these opinions from being en-
grated on our constitution and laws by
Judicial legislation. Should the Supreme
Court of the United States remain organ
lied as at present, with only nine Judg ges.
and five of them citizens of the Slave
States, there can scarcely remain doubt
but that as cases arise they will be de-
cided in accordance with these opinions"
Congress has power to re-organize
that court, and the question is, shall it
be done, so as to give the free States q
fair representation in that tribunal :? In
favor of this measure, it is said, that the
slave states have less than half the num-
Der of free white people, and less than
one third Of the amount of litigation,
which the free States have and that it
is consequently just and proper, that the
court should be so organized. as to give
each portion of the Union an equal and
falr proportion of the Judges. On the
other hand, it is said, re organization of
the Court would be harsh and danger
Gus measure. Each citizen must decide
for himself which is the greater evil, to
re-organize the court, or allow these opin-
ions to become parts Of our constitution
and laws, and give us a new constitution
al and legal system on the subject of
slavery and our territories

Christ. and to have some motions toward
faith in him. Ta
If tears could wash away from Mr..
Parker's eyes the hindrances, that he
might behold Christ as / behold and
adore him, l would shed them without
reserve. If prayers could bring to him
this vision Of glory, beyond sight of
philosophy, / would for him besiege the
audience chamber of heaven with an
endless procession of prayers, until an
other voice sounding forth from another
light brighter than the noon-day sun,
should cast down another blinded man,
to be lifted up an apostle with inspired
vision [! .a
But since l may not hope so to prevail,
| at least will carry him in my heart, l
will cordially work with him when can,
and be heartily sorry when l cannot.
While we yet write, word comes that
Mr.. Parker, broken down by over-labor,
seeks rest and restoration in warmer
cline. Should these lines reach his eye,
let him know that one heart at least re-
members his fidelity to man, in great pub
lie exigencies when so many swerved, of
whom we had right to expect better
things. God shield him from the ocean,
the storm, the pestilence :. and heal him
of lurking disease. And there shall be
one Christian who will daily speak his
name to the heart of God in earnest
prayer, that with health of body he may
receive upon his soul the greatest gift of
God-faith in Jesus Christ as the Divine
Saviour of the world.
