Oh they had looked upward in every place
Through this beautiful world Of ours,
And deal as n smile on an old friends face
Is the smile Of the bright bright howersi
They tell us OF wand'rings by woods and streams;
They tell us OF lands and trees
But the children OF showers and sunny beams
Have loveier tales than these
The bright. bright Gowersi
They tell Of season when men were not,
When earth was by angels trod.
And leaves and flowers in every spot
Burst forth at the name of God
When spirits, singing their hymns at even,
Wandered by wood and glade, [ven.
And the Lord looked down from the highest hca-
Aud blessed what He had made
The bright, bright llowersi
The blessing remaineth upon them still,
Though often the storm cloud lowers,
And frequent tempests may soil and chill
The gayest OF earth's fair flowers,
When sin and death, with their sister grief.
Made homsin the hearts OF men,
The blessing OF God on each tender leaf
Preserved in their beauty then
The bright, bright flowers!
The lily Is lovely rs when II slept
On the waters of Edens lake
The woodbne breathes sweetly as when II crept,
In Eden, from brake to brake.
They were left as proof OF the loveiiness
or Adam and Ewes first home;
They are here as type OF the joys that bless
The lust in the world to come

How THEY NOMINATE OUT WEsT-Schuyier
C0fax of Indiana was for the fifth time nomina-
ted for Congress, recently, in this wise the
whole district had come together in mass meeting
at Plymouth, dev0ting the whole day to It, One
county delegation had spllnters of rails in their
hats another bore an elaborate banner repre-
renting the manner of rail splitting SON. car
ried big rails across their shoulders and ant. her
delegation bore in wagon an old weather beaten
caves trough, hewed with an axe from round
log, as emblematic Of pioneer life. Indeed, the
variety of things was beyond description. After
raising tall lberty-poe in the centre, and run
ming up the flag, the procession formed, a mile and
ahatf Tong, and marched to an oak opening. The
gavcl of the presiding officer was maui. But
the people couldn't wait for ceremony, and hardly
had formal organization been made, when
somebody shouted the name of Schuyler Colfax.
Another moved to amend that " we re-elect him
by at least 1000 majority, and give the sdme
majority to the State and National tickets.p
The motion, as amended, prevailed, with loud
long, deafening cheers which seemed to cause
every leaf in the oak grove to tremble, as ii
stirred by some mighty wind. Then they had
their speeches and the e ceteras Of the occasion
The people Of the district are only just to them
selves in sustaining in Congress with such enthu-
siasm a man who does himself, his State, and the
country such great credit as Mr. Colfax. He is
one of the most practically useful and able mem
bers of Congress on either side.

The Orphans Voyage Home.

The men could hardly keep the deck,
So bitter was the night;
Keen north east winds sang thro' the shrouds,
The deck was frosty white {;
While overhead the gistening stars
Put forth their points of light.
On deck, behind bale of goods.
Two orphans crouch'd to sleep;
But twas so cold, the youngest boy
In vain tried not to weep
They were so poor, they had no right
Near cabin doors to creep.
The elder round the younger wrapt
His little ragged cloak,
To shield him from the freezing sleet
Aud surf that DER them broke
Then drew him closer to his side,
And softly to him spoke:
"The night will not be long he said,
And if the cold winds blow,
We shall the sooner reach our home,
And see the peat-tire glow
But now the stars are beautiful
Oh, do not tremble so
"Come closer -sleep--forgct the frost
Think of the morning red
Our father and our mother eoon
VIII take US to their bed;
Aud in their warm arms we shall sleep
lie knew not they were dead.
For them no Iutner 10 Tue fntp
Shall with the morning come
For them no mothers loving arms
Are spread to take them home
Meanwhile the cabin passengers
Iu dreams OF pleasure roam.
At length the orphans sank to sleep
All on the freezing deck
Close huddled side to side--eaeh arm
Clasp'd round the Others neck.
With heads bent down, they dreamed the earth
Was fading to speck.
The stecrago passengers have ell
Been taken down below,
And round the stove they warm their limbs
Into drowsy glow;
And soon within their births forget
The icy wind and snow.
Now morning dawns the land in sight,
Smiles beam on every face!
The pale and quaimy passengers
Begin the deck to pace.
Seeking along the sun lit cliffs
Some well-known spot to trace
Only the orphans do not stir.
OF all this bustlng train
They rcachd their home this starry night
They will not stir again
The Winters breath proved kind to them,
And ended all their pain.
But in their deep and freezing sleep
Clasp'd rigid to each other,
In dreams they cried " The bright morn breaks.
Home home IN here, nay brother!
The Angel Death has been our friend
We come dear father mother! ~

PnEw!-The reporter of the N. Y. Herald
in describing Niblo's Theater, on the occasion Of
the ball given to the japanese, says:
The japanese princes were thrown off their
mental equilibrium, and for some time be-
ieved that they were meandering through the
Elysan Fields Of the East, and that the roses
which bloomed and the bulbuls which sung were
the denzens Of their own warm and sunny CLINE.
Beauty, splendor and magniicence shone down
upon them with beams as radiant as those of the
God of Day himself.

DIsCREDITABLE BoAsT.-The following refer
cnce to Col. Wellers late speech before the San
Francisco Breckenrde ratification meeting, we
find in the Bulletin. Col Weller may have voted
for many worse men than the gambler referred
to- but to boast of it on such an occasion was in
exceeding bad taste
Ex Governor Weller, claimed to be q party
man in the strictest sense of the word He con-
sidered the obligation of Democrat to support
the regular nominees of his party so strong, that
he once voted for a gambler of 80 years stand
ing. for Sheriff Of San Francisco, in preference
to Jack Hayes. who was an Independent asprant
for the same office. This disgraceful confession
was made by man of rare intelligence and abil-
ity, who has for more than seven years filled the
very highest offices within the gift of the people
of California. If distinguished Democrat. who
has spent the best portion of his life in studying
party obligations considers himself liable to be
bound to vote for gamblers of 80 years standing
for high Offices what degree of Generalization
may not be expected from the rank and file Of II
party trained by such leaders No wonder that
ballotbox suffers, thieves and murderers have
forced themselves into Office ali over the State,
and that at times our Legislature has been con
troled by men, suited ouly for the penitentary,
when such man as Governor Weller claims it
as an evidence Of Democratic orthodoxy, that he
has voted for the oldest gamblers who have man
aged by the arts OF their profession to get regu-
lar nominations.

PLEASE DoN'r.-The organ Of the Spanish
Government in Madrid, speaking of our men-of
war capturing one of theirs near Vera Cruz, says:
We do not desire war with America, but
should it be unavoidable, we are not apprehen
sive as to the result. A nation which has Just
shed its blood and treasure in Africa in defense
of its honor, in the name of this nation, which
has just rendered itself great and powerful, we
demand that the Government shall display in
this matter the utmost energy. We hope that
the affair may be settled by diplomacy bu t
should diplomacy fail, we will write on America
with the points of our swords the concluding
pages of the magnificent epoch which we have so
gloriously commenced on the burning sands Of

A PRoPosITloN TO LAND HoLDERS.-A person
in possession of large quantity of fruit trees,
consisting mostly of standard dwarf pear trees
and apple trees, and also of five or ten thousand
grape vines, wishes to plant the same out in some
good location, where he can purchase his land
by setting out an orchard er vineyard on adjon-
ing lands for the seller or owner. He would pre-

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.-On Sunday last,
says the Cattaraugus Republican, a child in that
place died, as was supposed, and on Monday
preparations were made for its burial. Monday
afternoon the funeral was held, and the body of
the child, accompanied by large number of
friends was conveyed to the grave. As the dirt
began to fall upon the coffin, feeble cries were
heard. The coffin was instantly raised and
opened, and a shrek of "Mother!" burst from
the lips of the resuscitated child 1t is useless to

CooI.--We gather beautiful specimen of fem

man of Cambridge was betrothed to young
lady in neighboring village. The wedding day

Rings had been purchased and favors and gloves;
nothing was wanting by way of preparation.
But, two days before the appointed day, the
expectant groom received a note from the bride
that was to be, saying the marriage must be
deferred for few days, for reasons that she
would soon explain. On the day subsequent to
the one originally fixed for the tying of the knot
the explanation came, and thus it ran "Mrs

Letter from Lewiston.

FRIEND GORDON Il hear that you was in this
vicinity few days ago, but seeing no report in
the Journal, conclude that you took no notes. or
if you did, the weather was so warm that they
evaporated before you reached home.
There is great quartz excitement here now ;
the location of the lead of which l have before
written you, has been made public, and turns out
to be at the head of Deadwood Creek. I am
told that a company of Weaverville gentlemen
will prospect it, and if rich, will Immediately
erect a mill. l am told that it prospects $3.50 to
the ton of rock. If it is as rich as represented
it will give a new impetus to business in this al
ready prosperous section.
Gilber. & Co. and Ransom Co. have turned
the water from their river claims and in another
week will be taking out the "oro." Fisher "
Co., at Eastman's have also turned the water
from the river bed, and will soon commence
cleaning up. Black, Sanford & Co. will com
mence cleaning up next week. Below them
about quarter of mile the old bed Of Trinity
has been struck in the bar, and three companies
are at work-Woodsides Il Co., Tull K Co. and
Thompson & Co.-all rich claims. l saw them
"panning out" yesterday, and it would have
made your eyes water TO see the gold. Each
company must have realized hall an ounce TO the
hand, at least.

Saturday Morning, August IL, 1850.

IN BEHALF OF THE CHINEsE.-George Smith,
Bishop of Victoria and Hongkong, now at the
Bay, has addressed letter to Judge McAliister.
of the United States Circuit Court, praying that
California may so legislate as to permit Chinese
to give testimony in criminal cases against Euro
peans. He exhorts thus:
In the name Of all tEat is just, equitable, and
humane-iu the name OF the Christian Mlssona
res who are endeavoring on the soil of China
itself to impress the Chinese people and rulers
favorably respecting the equal liberation and
benefcent laws Of Christian lands-in the name
of your American Plenipotentiaries who, in Chi
ma and Japan are demanding for American citi
zens equal privileges, immunities and rights from
the Governments of those pagan lands-in the
name of our common Christianity, to whose mer-
ciful and tolerant spirit your institutions and
laws are professedly eontormed-l exhort and
entreat the Christian citizens of your great and
powerful country to arouse themselves to a con-
sderatioD of this Chinese grievance, and to apply
themselves vigorously to repeal of this obnox-
ious act.
The reverend gentleman is no doubt sincere in
his appeal, but ought to know, or if not, to be
Informed, that his proposition is one Of the most
idle, in fact impossible to carry out, that could
be made to either our people or law makers The
petitioner appeals in the name Of justice, but
should remember that charity begins at home,"
and that California would do herself great injus-
tice by repeating the oppressive law referred to,
which would soon overrun us with this unwished
for class of population. Their presence, even
now, is oppressive to better citizens those who
claim citizenship under our laws The thing
can't be done.
