GEN. JACKSON AT MRs. LIvINGsTox's Din
NER PARrY.-In the just published life of
Andrew jackson, by Mr.. Parton, we find the
following interesting anecdote
The new aidde-camp, Mr.. Livingston, as he
rode from the parade ground by the Generals
side, invited him home to dinner. The Gene
raj promptly accepted the invitation. 1t chanc-
ed that the beautiful and gay Mrs. Livingston
the leader of society then at New Orleans,
both creole and American, had little dinner
party that day. composed only Of ladies, most
Of whom were young and lively creole bellies.
Mr. Livingston had sent home word that Gen
Jackson had arrived, and that he should ask
him home to dinner a piece Of news that threw
the hospitable lady into CONSERVATION. "What
shall we do with this wild general from Ten
nessee p whispered the girls to one another
for they had all conceei7ed that Gen Jackson
however becoming he might comport himself in
an Indian fight, would be most diStressingly
out of place at fashionable dinner party in
the first drawing room of the most polite city
in America. He was announced. The young
ladies were seated about the room. Mrs. Liv-
ingston sat upon sofa at the head Of the
apartment, anxiously awaiting the inroad Of
the wild fighter into the regions sacred hitherto
to elegance and grace. He entered. Erect,
composed, bronzed with long exposure to the
sun his hair just beginning to turn gray, clad in
his uniform of coarse blue cloth and yellow
buckskin, his high boots Tapping loosely about
his slender legs, he looked, as be stood near
the door of the drawing room, the very picture
Of war-worn noble warrior and commander.
He bowed to the ladies magnifcenuy, who
all rose at his entrance, much from amaze
meut as politeness. Mrs Livingston adTanc-
ed toward him. With dignity of grace sell
dom aequalled, never surpassed, he went forward
to meet her, conducted her back to her sofa,
and sat by her side The fair creoles were
dumb with astonishment In few minutes
dinner was served, and the General continued,
during the progress Of the meal, to converse
in an easy, agreeable manner, in the tone of
society, of the sole topic of the time, the COM
ing invasion. He assured the ladies that he
felt perfectly confident of defending the city,
and begged that they would give themselves
no uneasiness with regard to that matter He
rose soon from the table and left the house
with Mr.. Livingston. Iu one chorus the young
ladies exclaimed to their hostess. ." Is this
your backwoodzman? Why, madam, be. is

Almost HoWE.-This is one OF the nest
joyous expressions in the English language
The hears Of the long absent husband, father
or son, not only homeward bound, but almost
arrived, thrills with rapturous Joy as he is on
the point Of receiving the embraces and greet
ing of the dear ones CT home. So it is with
the aged Christian, as, in the far advance of
his pilgrimage, be feels that he approaches
the boundary line, and will soon cross over the
land of promise Many of bis best friends
have crossed over before him, and they have
long been bsckoning him upward aud onward.
They await bis arrival with the joyful welcome
OF holy ones. And as tokens multiply on eth
er hand the land of Beulah is near, he feels
that he is GlHost k07as The ripe fruit of a
long Christian life is about to be gathered into
a heavenly garner. Few sights on earth are
more pleasing than aged, faithful Christians
strong in the Lord, almost home We have
some such among Us, reTered and beloTed,
whose faces we love to see in the sanctuary,
and whose prayers bring down blessings upon
our heads They speak of many friends, most
Of whom have preceded them, but the reunion
viii soon come. Blessings be upon the fathers
and mothers in Zion and may their mantle:
fall on Us

JAPANESE MIcE-While on board the Pow
hatan, says the Honolulu -idreTfiser, one Of
the sailors who did not 60 to Japan for moth
ing, exhibited 10 Us q sample Of Japanese
Mice, which we're of various c0lors, some pure
white, Others spotted. They are perfectly do
Gle, and may be handled with0at being the
least alarmed. 1t appears thatin Japan, mice
are quite domestic creature aud perfectly
tame they are entirely Of different nature
from our mice and are much smaller. IN fact,
these little creatures may be considered quite
. curiosity, as they can be kept in open boxes
without any fear OF their running away. This
sailor had about dozen of them in 6 shall
low box, with partition in the centre, and
three or four small holes in It, large enough
to let them pass through, which they did con-
tinnally, now and then catching hold Of each
others tails, forming a complete circle, and
running with such speed that it was impossible
to distinguish their heads from their tails. In
another corner was 6 small box, inside Of the
larger one) the lid Of which had two holes in
it. They would enter this 81 one hole and
pass ont the other as quick as thought, al for
their own amusement. We we're also inform
ed that whenever the band played, these little
mice would dance and run round, keeping ex-
act time with the music, and would sop when
ever the music stopped. Strange, bat ne7er-
theleSS true.

natural OYSTER BEDS-Along the jersey
shore, where the rivers empty into salt water
there exist large natural oyster beds, whence
are procured the seed oyster which supply the
planted beds In the Spring, the oyster in
the natural bed deposits its spawn-a white
gelatinOus substance, which adheres to what
ever it touches-and in this way spreads a
large growth Of small oysters, some not larger
than the head of a pin. From these seed beds
the oTsters are taken and laid in the shoal
saltwater, to &c easily taken up when wanted,
and they remain for several years till they get
sufficient size for market. Thousands of bush
els Of the small seed oysters are in this way
distributed along the shore on the planting
grounds, or sold to be carried away for plant
ing in other States.
The practice is 10 take these seed oysters
away in the Spring and Fall If allowed to
remain in their beds over Fall, they will sep
arate and spread, but if removed at that pc
Rod Of the year the young oysters die by
thousands. If they Go net get bedded early
il the mud, the tides, blown out BY the winds,
leave them exposed, or adhering to the ice in
the Winter, they are lifted out Of their beds
aud either carried away or crushed Unless
something is done for the protection Of these
natural cyster-bedS, it is believed that they
will all be destroyed, and even those engaged
in the business, it is said, acknowledge the
destructiFeness Of the present mode of opera
ton, and desire that the period Of taking the
oyster for planting shall be confined to the
Spring of the year FortT days from the lSt
Of April, it is believed, would be sufficient for
al planting purposes.

ARKANSAS LEGISLATION.-The recent brawlS
I in the House at Washington remind the CIeTe-
land PlaIHdcEier Of a story heard in Arkansas
several years since, which has never been in
print. 1t is 20 dsrespect to the present en-
lightened and genial State of Arkansas to say
that in its igcipient or Territorial days it was
rather e" rough 1t was very common thing
for a man to leave the bosom of his family in
sound health in the morning, and return dead
at night. Cuttings, slashingS, aud shootings
were Of daily occurrence. 1t was dangerous
to be safe. The Legislature was chiefly CON-
posed of bullies aud blacklegs, aud the scenes
enacted by them were often very eccentric. A
fight arose about something in the house"
The Hon. Mr. Bangor, Of Napoleon, called
the Hon. Mr. Sanger, of Helena, liar The
Hon Sanger retorted with G bullet which
took off the Hon. Dangers left ear. Both then
sprang into the middle Of the hall with drawn
bowie knives. The Speaker said, by Cd,
we must have fair play in this business !" and
rushed out on the floor with cooked pistol in
one hand and tremendous "tooth-pick in
the other, and 10 tones Of thunder command
ded the representatives to form q ring. 4 ring
vas formed and in the classics Of the times,
the cCmbatalts went in" They cut each
other frightfully, and for quite a spell it was
difficult to decide who was the better nan
But finally, Banger, by an adroit thrust, cut
Of Sanger's head, aud instant death was the
result Mr. Slanger's remains being removed,
and order restored, Mr.. Bangor rose and said ::
1t Is my painful duty to announce to this
House the death OF the Hon William Slanger
of Helena. He was good at draw-poker and
faro, and handled the toothpick beautiful He
wasn't of no account at legislatiD.' He was
middlin' on bosses He put on too many
scollops. He had!no family 'cepting bis brother

THE SUNSET LAND.

On dimly through the mists of years,
That roll their dreary waves between,
The gorgeous Sunset Land appears,
Arraved in hues of fadeless green.
And from that far-of sunny cline,
Old halfforgotten songs arise,
And stealing Ger the waves of Time,
The sweetly lingering music dies.
As some bright island of the sea,
Forever blooming, ever fair;
Though cold dark billows around it be-.
Eternal sunshine hovers there.
Thus DER the silent sea Of years,
Our eager, longing looks are cast,
Where robed in fadeless spring appears,
The sunlit Eden of the past.
There Memory weaves her gariands green
Beside the lone. hopehauuted Shore
And musing mid the Arcadian scene,
Twines flowers that bloom for US no more.
Oh, hallowed cline blest land of love!
Sweet Paradise Of early dreams!
Still through thy vale may fancy rove,
still bask beneath thy evening beams.
And therc they dwell-those cherished ones,
With sHow-white brows and waving hair
see them now-I hear their tones
OF sweetness fly along the air.
HGk h0= their silvery voices ring
In cadence with the winds low sigh?
Not sweeter is the wind-harp's string
That wakes at eve its melody.
They call to US they wave their hands
As by the mirage lifted high.
That cline in all lis beauty stands
Against the forehead Of the sky.
With wreathed brows-with laugh and song,
With tender looks-haRds clasped in hand,
They move aloag. thai loSe-linkel thrcng-

ANCIENT RUNS IN THE UNITED STATEs.-A
new stimulus is likely TO be given 70 American
archaeology by discovery recently made some
90 mil es northeast Of Fort Stanton, long
account of which has Just appeared in the Fort
Smith (Arkansas) Times:
The plain upon which lie the massive relics
of gorgeous temples and magnificent halls,
slopes gradually eastward towards the river
PecOs, and is very fertile, crossed by a gurgl-
ing stream of the purest water that not only
sustainS rich vegetation, but perhaps furnish
ed with this necessary element the thousands
who once inhabited this present wilderness
The city was probably built by warlke race
as it is quadrangular, and arranged with skill
to afford the highest protection against an ex-
terror foe, many of the buildings on the outer
line being pierced with loop-holes, as though
calculated for the use of weapons
Several Of the buildings are of vast size, and
built of massive blocks of dark granite rock,
which could only have been wrought to their
present condition by vast amount of labor
There are the ruins of two noble edifces, each
presenting o front of 800 feet, made of pond
erous blocks Of stone and dilapidated walls
are even now 35 feet high. There are no par
titions in the apex of the middle supposed
| temple, so that the room must have been vast
and there are also carvings in bas-relief and
fresco work. Appearances justify the con
clusion that these silent ruins could once boast
of halls as gorgeously decorated by the artists
hand as those of Thebes and Palmyra.
The buildings all have lOop-holes on each
side, much resembling those found in the old
feudal castles of Europe designed for the use
of archers. The blocks of which these edifces
are composed are cemented together by a
species of mortar of bituminous character
which has such tenacity that vast masses oi
/ wall have failed down without the blocks being
detached by the shock. We hope ere long to
be favored with full and descriptive particulars
as it is probable that visits and examination;
will be made among such interesting relics of
the unknown past by some Of the United
States officers attached to the nearest fort.
