Ipon my pillow, but the image of Fan,

upon my pillow, but the image of Fan,
ny was ever present. That attenua'
ted form, the peculiar expression of
her fearless eye, told but too plainly
that deeply concealed grief, like q
canker-worm, was prcying upon her
hcart-strings. Oh, there's time enough
to lreep" and to ,cau." Poor Fanny,
You thought then your cup was full,
even to overlooking, but you have
since learned how you could endure
and grow strong You have since
learned that sickness, death, or the alb
scncc Of friends long protractcd, is
not the worst or the most bitter Of all
life's woes ; you have since learned
that there is weight Of woe formed
by the commingling Of petty woes
the dcierring of hope until there ceases
to be any hope-and an unccasing re-
currcnce of living deaths.
These are they which crush out the
life-blood of the heart, and dry up its
fountains. RuTu RUsrIC.

DEATH OF SENATOR FREDERICK

The telegraph has already an
nounced that David c. Broderick, one
of the L. S. Senators of California, had
been killed few days previously in
duel with Chief Justice Terry of the
same State. California papers by the
Overland Mail contain full details of
the tragedy, but the following letter
from our esteemed correspondent, Rev.
J. c. Holbrook, gives more comprc-
hcnsive and concise history Of it than
we have seen:
SAN Francisco, Cal, Sept. II, 1850.
1t has been confidently expected
that the violent and denunciatory Ian
guage used, and the highly excited
feelings manifested during the late
political canvass would result III seve-
raj duels. Iu fact challenges were
sent during the progress Of the cam.
paicn. but none were then accepted.
Mr.. Broderick, the Anti-Lecompton
leader and one of the U. S. Senators
from this State, was challenged some
weeks ago, but declined to fight then
for two reasons First, that the chal-
lenger was not his peer and not cit
izen of the United States, and second
ly that his enemies wished to kill him
or put him hors du combat, and therefore
he was determined not to turn aside
for any such purpose as duel until
the canvass should be completed. But
no sooner We're the polls closed on
election day than Judge Terry, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
State, challenged Mr. Broderick, and
the duel was to have come oft Monday;
but it was prevented by the police.
Yesterday morning, however, before
seven o'clock, the parties met, and
Broderick fell, shot through the right
breast and lungs, and it was supposed

A SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE.

And what are you coming here
for, my son." said Mr.. Arvine, as little
Willie, hlack-cyca boy of some five
or SIX summers, was trying to seat
himself upon his fathers knee.
"Oh, you will know it all when
get there there, now Just hold down
your head q little, father" trying to
suppress laugh and imprint kiss.
As hc raised his eye to his fathers
face, on which was deeply traced the
intense anguish which filled his heart,
little Willie's head dropped on his fa-
theirs bosom in silence. Mr.. Arvinc,
gently drawing one arm around Willie,
said:
How long since you have kissed
your mother? Don't you think she
would like kiss occasionally ?"
Willie did not reply for already
that young heart had felt the bitter
ness Of grief.
The mother, reclining on her couch
as usual, observed the deepening
gloom which seemed gathering around
their spirits, and wishing, if possible,
to lessen rather than add to its weight,
although she was sinking under the
| accumulation Of atlliction, assumed an
air Of cheerfulness, and said,
Mother must do without a kiss
she never expects many more
Mother" said Willie, without rails
ing his head, "lf Emma was here you
could have kisses enough"
Yes, | know" said the mother,
But Emma is not here, and this is
why | never expect many kisses"
while the tide of grief rose higher and
higher every moment.
After a long pause" Mother" said
Willie, "She has gone to better
place, and his little heart was too
full to finish the sentence, and he gave
full vent TO his sobs and tears.
Some two or three weeks previous
to this scene, the sweet little Emma,
WilIie's only sister, his fayortc com
panion for three or four years, had
been suddenly removed by death.
Willie saw her slip from a plank over
which he had inst passed, crossing a
stream near the house, though he eau
toned her not to fall, and the current
swept her over the dam in an instant.
| Willie was frantic. Wild with terror
and alarm he shrickcl, Emma is in
| the brook Emma is in the brook !!
Oh, mother, she went SO quick, she
never said word VIII she live
again. OH, mHi she not lire again 2"
No, my child, not here. She has
gone to better pace-she will suffer
no more, nor feel the loss of our socic-
ty. God has taken her, and she now
lives with Him"
Henry, the older brother, was no
less wild aud extravagant in his re-
proacbes to Willie for suffering little
Emma to fall, and for his neglect in
not pulling her out.
This did not quiet little Willie.
"Oh," said he, "why did he not take
some other child? There's enough all
about the treet-and some old men
that wern't good for anything !"
"Oh, my son, did not gire you all
to God, and has he not right to take
his own?"
But there was 40 little conflict in
the mothers heart, and the fathers
too, as he bore that lileless little form
from its watcry bed to the arms of its
invalid mother, and sat down with his
two remaining children to mingle their
unavailing cries and tears.
"Oh," said the mother, " see her Jiat

CORRECT SpEAKING.-Wc advise all
young people to acquire, in carly life,
the habit Of using good language,
both in Speaking and writing, and to
abandon as early as possible, any use
OF slang words and phrases. The lon
ger they live. the more difficult the
acquisition Of correct language will
be and if the golden age Of youth,
the proper season for the acquisition
Of language, be passed in its abuse,
the unfortunate victim of neglected
education is, very properly, doomed to
talk slang for life. Money is not
necessary to procure this education.
Every man has it in his power. He
has merely to use the language which
he reads, instead of the slang which
lie hears to form his taste for the
best speakers and poets Of the coun-
try, to treasure up choice phrases in
his memory, and habituatc himself to
their use-avoiding, at the same time,
that pedantic precision and bombast,
which show rather the weakness Of n
vain ambition than the polish Of an
educated mind.

SIR WALTER SCOTS HORSE.

A foreign correspondent Of the Mo-
bile Advertiser writes of a visit to
Mcrose aud the burial place eff Sir
Walter Scott. In the course Of his
ramblcs, he stood where the Wizard "
so loved to linger, and looked upon
the scene the poets eyes had so long
dwelt upon, and alludes en- passant, to
a touching incident that possibly is
not familiar to all our readers. The
writer had attained the summit of the
hill of Bemerside, and the the vale Of
Mclrosc, with the beautiful Tweed
bending in a perfect semi-circle around
it, reposed in exquisite lovelines be-
meath. Oh, it was a picture that
would inspire any soul, and which
Turner knew SO well how to represent
in his gorgeous pcncilings. The gay
and luxuriant vegetation that covered
the hillside and valley, the masses OF
noble wood skirting the plain, the
placid limpidity of the stream sweep
ing in a graceful curve through the
emerald meadows, made up a scene
too inimitable for the pen upon
which the sun seemed to love to shine
for it illuminated what might be Area
dia, if we could only then and there
have been lullcd into some Utopian
dream.
No wonder then, that when Sir
Walter Scott passed over this hill on
his favorte horse, he would stop and
gaze back upon the lonely vale of the
Tweed. 1t is said that Scott loved
and admired this picture more than
any other scene in nature. When
that same old favorite horse which
was drawing the remains Of his mas
ter, arrived at this spot, hc stopped in
the midst of the funeral procession as
it was his masters custom to do.
