PASSING AwAY.-The New Orleans Picayune, alluding to the Eighth of Jan uary proceeding in that city, says of the 5" Veterans
 Like leaves of autumn the little band of veterans of the illustrious battles of lSl4-15 are fast dropping away. Each year gathers some of the buds with the generations of the dead. The remnant are looked upon with the greatest interest, as they are DOW thc remains of past generation come down to our day. A lit- tie over thirty whites and some twenty blacks constituted the number belonging to this city who formed part of the cor tege yesterday. Some of the few that are lleit are yet hale and walk with as erect a carriage as when they tTod the battle field, forty-five years since; but the ma iority show the weight of years. In a ! few years more the Eighth will be ceie- brated with no veterans to give interest to the occasion.

WHITTIER ON BURNS.

At the Burns Festival in Boston, the fol lowing poem, enclosed in letter, was re oeived from John G. Whittier: How sweetly comes the holy psalms From saints and martyrs down, The waving of triumplal palms
 Above the thorny crownl The choral praise, the chanted prayers, From harps by angels strung, The haunted Cameron's airs,
 The hymns that Luther sung Yet, jarring not the heavenly notes,
 The sounds of earth are heard, As through the open minister floats
 The song of breeze and bird. Not less the wonder of the sky
 That daisies bloom below; The brook sings on, though loud and high The cloudy organs blow. And if the tender ear be jared
 That haply hears by turns That saintly harp of Olney's bard, The pastoral pipe of Burns. No discord mars his perfect plan
 Wno gave them both tongue, For he who sings the love of man, The love of God hath sung To-day be every fault forgiven
 Of him in whom we joy; We take, with thanks, the gold of heaven, And leave the earth's alloy. Be ours his music as of spring,
 His sweetness as of flowers, The songs the bard himself might sing In holier ears than ours. Sweet airs of love and home, the hum Of household melodies, Come singing as the robins come To sing in door-yard trees. And, heart to heart, two nations lean No rival wreaths to twine, But blending. in eternal green,
 The holly and the pinel

DEAF AND DUMB ComposIToRs.--ln Germany, as the birthplace of printing, a great intereset is still felt in all that per tains to that art. An event has recently taken place at Zablagen, in Wurtemburg, which is attracting considerable notice. M. Theodore Algerad, who has long shown much sympathy for the deaf and dumb, had conceived that those who were suffering under that calamity might be usefully and proitably employed in the printing office. Following out this idea, hat gentleman has now in his employment one hundred and sixty operatives who are deaf and dumb, and of whom eleven are females, all of who he has, at his own ex- pense, and personally, instructed to such an extent that they are now expert com postors. The government of Wurtom burg has thought that this experiment. of which the object was to give work and sustenance ot many of this class of unfor- tunates, is well deserving of encourage ment and acknowledgment, and the King has, in the mean time, given orders that large gold medal should be presented tc the director of this new and silent printing office, in testimony of the high sense which his majesty entertains of Nj, Alger ads benevolent undertaking.

OLD TIMEs. James Gadsden, formerly Minister to Mexico, who lately died at Charleston, was graduate of Yale College. The following details of his troubles in getting to New Haven from New York, fifty-five years ago, arc of some interests:
 "In 1903, the intercourse with New York (whcre now centcrs the trade of United States was uncertain and irregu- lar. To reach New Haven, young Gads- den had to take passage to Newport, the captain stipulating to forward him to the place of his destination. From Newport he was shipped on board of sloop navi- gating the sound (passing almost in sight of New Haven for New York. On his arrival at the latter place, he was trans- ferred to one of the daily packets, small craft of about sixty tons, which left Peck Slip every evening (by way of economy,) ) the passengers paying for the transpor- iation of their persons only; taking tea beforehand in New York, and expecting to brealsfastin New Haven. 1t was the practice of these packets to receive all passengers who offered, without regard to
 accommodations, and when the multitude
 assembled (after leaving the dock they Ihad to cast lots for the few berths the ves- sel afforded. IL was young Gadsden's misfortune 10 encounter a plank, or, in
 other words, to have to seek sleeping
 place on the softest plank" For the | first time, from the apron-strings of an induIgeft mother. he felt no little concern at the situation in which he found himself,
 when he was accosted by an elder youth,
 inquiring with some solicitude where he was from When informed, the welcome response was heard, < come, share my berth, I too am Carolinian" This gentleman proved to be Dr. James Me- Bride, who was ea rottte to join the same institution, and between whom and James
 Gadsden there originated an intimacy and
 friendship which endured until the pre-
 mature death Of one of the most gifted sons of Carolina.

A SUBLIME PERoR ATIoN.-- The closing passage of Professor Milchell's lecture, at New York, recently, was delivered with thrilling effect. After speaking of the un- fathomable distance which no telescope can penetrate, lying far beyond the system in which the earth reyolves, and yet filled with independent system of worlds of in- finite numbers, he said
 Light traverses space at the rate of q million miles minute, yet the light from the nearest star requires ten years to reach the earth, and HerschcI's telescope reveal ed stars two olhousand three hundred times further distant. The great telescope of Lord Ross pursued these creations of God still deeper into space, and having resolve ed the nehula of the Milky Way into stars, discovered other system of stars-beauti- ful dianond points glitterihg through the black darkness beyond. When he beheld this amazing abyss s-wfen he saw these systems scattered profusely throughout space when he reflected upon their im- mcnse distance their enormous magnitude, and the countless millions of worlds thu belonged to them, t seemed to him asS though the wild dream of the German poet was more than realized
 "God called man in dreams into the ves- tibule of heaven, saylng, come up hither and l will show lhee the glory of my house. And to his angels who stool q bout his throne he said take him, strip him of his robes of flesh; cleanse his af- factions; put q new breath into his nostrils; but touch not his human heart-the heart that fears and hopes and trenbless A moment, and 1t was done, and The man stood ready for his unknown voyage. U5n- der the guidance of mighty angel, with sounds of flying pinions, they spend their way from the battlement of heaven. Some time on the mighty angels wing they fled through Saharas of darkness wldernesses of death. Atlength, froma distance not counted save in the arithme- tic of heaven, light beamed upon them--a sleepy flame as seen through a hazy cloud. They sped on i'll their terrible speed to meet the light; the light with lesser speed came to meet them In moment the blazing of suns around thenn--a moment the wheeling of planets; then came long Eeternities of twilight; then again on the right hand and the left appeared more com stellations. Al last the man sank down, crying, And, l can go no further; let me lie down inthe grave, and hide myself from the ininitude ofthe universe, for end there is none End is there none 2' de- manded the angel. And from the glitter ing stars that shone around there came q choral shout, End there is none! End there is nones' demanded the angel again, and is it this that awes the soul i? l answer, end there is none to the universe of God! Lo, also, there is no beginning"

reasonable in her transactions.
Samuel to obviate any difficulty that should
arise, and to expedite any arrangement that
could be made stepped before the old woman
and pulling ont his purse said
{" If YOU will produce the girl within an
hour will put fifty dollars in your hand on
sight and will draw check i'll your favor for
two hundred and fifty more, which will be
paid in banking hours tomorrow"
Still the old woman paused and hesitated,
hardly knowing whether to accept the proifer
ing the chord to pull, cndeayored to drag her
from the door. Fearful least her accomplice
would use rash measures to accomplish his
design, she yielded to the proficr of Samuel,
to compromise.
81 will, for three hundred dollars, deliver
the girl into your hands before morning, but
will require you both to retire home and
wait until arrive with the prize, when will

that the whole transaction be kept secret. p"

"Now,'' said old Mag, .'you may take your
departure, and depend upon my fidelity for
the performance Of my portion of the bus-
ness" Tom growled something between his
| teeth about being cheated to the old woman,
as he shut the door and they took their way
up Third towards Market Street
Scarcely had they got u hundred yards
from the residence of the old hag, when Tom
placed his hand upon his comrades shoulder
as if to arrest his attention, when he whis-
percd in low tone: ~ have reason to dis
| trust that old DEVILS honesty-there is some
thing about her actions do not like; besides,
promise extorted in the manner this one was
is not much to be depended upon. You, go
on to the place designated and will recon
noitre the place and see she does not practice
some kind of villany either upon us or the
girl.'
| Samuel approved ofthe movement and look
| ing over his shoulder as he turned up Market
street, he saw Tom glide away within the sha-
dow of board fence. What happy thoughts
passed through the mind of the young artist
at the prospect OF serving an affectiontea
uncle who had done him so many favors, of
fernd itself. How pleased will Ida be when
she hears of his success, and how the recovery
of the lost girl was effected. merry trip to
the sunny South found place in his excited
| imagination.

, WASHINGTON LADY IN CALIFORNIA.

/ a WASlNGTON LADY in CALifOhNlA'
Miss Avonia Jones gives the following sketch
of some incidents of her life in California,
which she details with much freshness. We
copy from the Richmond Enquirer:
Yesterday we saw an entirely new phase
Of life. So far ws had only seen the surface
diggins, but now we have seen the mining,
far below the earth. Before we went down,
one of the proprietors, MI. Seymour, dressed
us up. Our party consisted of three ladies
and two gentlemen, and you never saw such
hard looking crowd. We wore our oldest
dresses, and no hoops mems India rubber
coats and boots, and our heads done up mig
ger-fashiop in cotton cloth. Then we went
into n large shed where they have a steanl-
engine, and you see the commencement OF
railroad track which suddenly disappears into
an intensely dark hole. On this track was
a low, almost fiat ribbed planking on six
wheels. On this thing we sat down, the gem
tlemen holding the ladies. The word was
given and away we sped into this dark hole,
down an inclined plane, at an angle of forty
five degrees, for $50 feet. | expected to be
frightened, but was not in the least in fact |
| liked il, the sensation was so novel. When
we got off the truck, We found ourselves in an
alley way, beamed and boarded on all sides.
These alleys extend in al! directions, and 50
low, you have to stoop all the time IN Walk
ing. Mother could not stand the STRAIN on
her back, so we left her seated on pile of
dirt, talking to miner. We were all provl-
ded with candles, and such trip as we pas
sed through First, we went along the rail-
road track, in deep mud, and then along alley
ways. where the deoomposed granite is very
soft but dry. Sometimes we had to crawl
through hole on our hand. and knees, then,
again slide through feet foremost. v was
hard work. but very funny, and lnever laugh
ed so much in my life
"At last we got through into quite an open
place, which Mr., Seymour had liked ior us
