Old Ossawatomie has been heard from thro'
a spiritual communication in New York. Hs
says: In the light of the spirit world, also
discern that though most of those with whom
/ associated were bypocrites, and cannot have
hope, yet some are but infatuated, and wish
to warn all such that if they would have tho
slightest chance of heaven, they must turn
from their Abolitionism and Republicanism
and become Democrats at once.-Erchange.
We were in hopes that that last rope would i'm
prove old John Browns politics, but he seems
to be about as bad in the other world as he was
in this. We presume, however, that the Dem
ocrats will now cheerfuly unite with the Abe.
litionists in canonzng him.

SILVER MINES IN CALIFoRNIA.-Intormat
has been received from unquestionable sour
ces in San Francisco, that large quantities of
very rich silver ore have begun to come in
from the eastern slope of the Sierra, where it
abounds, apparently, In inexhaustible quanti-
ties. The ore is described as of far more SUI
perior richness to any ever obtained from Mex
leo or Peru, and improving in quality as it is
dug from greater depth. A specimen of the
ore received, shows that the mines are very
finely granulated and intermingled with iron
pyrites. The silver is not visible to the eye ;
but yet, as is well known, that is no argument
against its abundance. All lead ore of that
kind (Galena, or sulphuret of lead) contains
silver; and often in considerable proportions.
This from the accounts received, is richer than
any other known. The ore is said to abound
on the surface, cropping out in rocks over a
considerable extent Of country. The place is
only three or four days journey eastward from
San Francisco, at Washee and great ex-
citement is expected to be the result of the
discovery.

THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.

Close her eyelids-press them gently
Ger the dead and leaden eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely
Hath returned unto the skies:
Wipe the death drops from her forehead,
Sever one dear golden tress,
Fold her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the little snowy dress;
gcatter flowers Ger her pillow
Gentle flowers, so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom,
There-now softly say Good Night.
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back,
We are glad her feet no longer
Tread life's rough and thorny track,
We are glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure
We are glad he did not leave her
All life's trials to endure;
We are giad-and yet the tear drop
Falleth for alas we know
That our fireside will be lonely,
We shall miss our darling so.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain to feel
Littlo arms all white and dimplcd,
Round our necks so softly steal:
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
OF sweet lips so warm and red,
And our bOsoms sadly, sadly,
Miss that darling little head
Which was wont to rest there sweetly;
And those golden eyes so bright,
We shall miss their loving glances,
We shall miss their soft Good Night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form.
They will bear it to the churchyard,
And iconsign it to the worm;
Wcll-what matter? 1t is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God hath robed her as an angel.
She hath need of this no more;
Fold her hands. and DER the pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white;
Kiss. that marble brow. and whisper.
Crce again, a last Good Night.

SNAKE IN LADY's DREss.-The London
Court Journal says: GA lady who had return
ed from India three years ago, and was the
other day opening drawer in what is termed
a bullock trunk, to Ter amazement and horror
a snake rered up his head her first impulse
was to push the drawer to, but it was stiff and
heavy She ran, screaming, down stairs for
help. Her brother, who was in the drawing
room, went to her assistance, and preceded
her again up stairs. The snake was not to be
seen, and the gentleman thought it must have
been his sisters imagination so after some
little time, the search was given up. The
following morning, canary that always hung
in the lady's room was missing, and looking
into the cage, the snake lay curled up at the
bottom of it, and allthat remained of the bird
